Well, it's been well over one year since my last post...and this is the reason (partial reason) why. It took me 20 years to get to this point in my life but I finally did it. I'm not too sure if a bachelor's degree is worth that much time and effort, but it was an enriching experience. I'm glad I did it and I'm glad it's done. This last year was pretty intense and I didn't have a lot of free time. I was mostly concentrating on school and moving from California to Oregon. If you look closely you can see my rainbow stole. I really wanted to represent my support for gay rights. Would I recommend a higher education to others? Yes, if you are young and have lot of lifetime ahead of you to realize the return on investment. Otherwise, I would say that college is a good experience for personal enrichment. I made some good friends and had some good experiences. I'm glad it's done!
