I've finally decided to go back to school and get my Master's degree (and possibly my Ph.D. while I'm at it). I'm profoundly tired with my "meatspace" life; all is a dreary succession of forgettable busywork and superficiality. Enough. I want to work in an academic setting where my writing habit is encouraged, not looked upon with puzzlement or dismissed as a pointless eccentricity. So I'm casting myself upon strange new shores in a bid for change, cheerfully -- if a bit apprehensively -- dismissing my previous mostly bad college experience.

So there's actually a chance I'll be "Professor Tonnies" in a couple years. I can live with that.

Stankan--

I've no doubt I'm in store for a bit of busywork and superficiality -- but at least now there'll be a light at the end of the tunnel.

We were sad that you left your meatspace workplace, You were very interesting, not necessarily eccentric, we saw you as an intellectual, you were not merely dismissed here in our class...
(from your teammates here at gateway)You will be missed

Field of study: English/Creative Writing. I'm pumped. But it's been a tough decision.

Best possible wishes, and have a great holiday.
