At approximately 6:15pm EST tonight, I handed in my final project paper. Assuming it's met with any measure of approval by the instructor, I am DONE with grad school. Life is good.

Now I'll have much more time to play roller hockey, practice on the drums, and, of course, sneak a little bit of empeg hacking in. Big things planned for the next release of emphatic.

But boy, does it feel good to be done school. If any of you ever have an opportunity to pursue an advanced degree while you're working a 40+ hour day job... Well... Don't plan on having much time to smell the roses. Now I'll get to see what all those regular workin' folks are doin' when quittin' time comes 'round.
