Things could be on the upswing for me.

All right.. this posting is about something other than me complaining about my life for a change! I am in the midst of applying to DeVry University to take the Video game design and developemnt course. So far things are going well. My next step is to do their online enrollment tests... math, reading, writing. Obviously they need to know how smart I am (or am not) before I can oficialy be accepted. Then the whole financial aid thing could be a hastle but my admin says it should be pretty cut and dry. I should qualify for grants and low interst loans as I am disabled.

The whole reason I am trying my hand at going back to school is because my MS has gotten to the point I am no longer able to do my job anymore. And since I am a big time video game fanatic.. I thought it would only make sence for me to try and learn a new skill for a career in game design. Of course being 42 years old and having not been in school for... oh... well lets just say a few years ago. I am somewhat nervous about returning to the academic world. But hey.. what the heck? I'm not getting any younger and MS has a tendancy to get worse not better. So I think this will ultimately be the right choice.

If all goes well as far as the testing, financing and so forth, I could be starting as soon as July 9th. So if anybody is interested... I'll keep you all posted as to what happens next. And if there isn't anybody who is interested... I'll still post it anyway cause it keeps me entertained.
