Nonsensical Ravings of a Lunatic Mind For some reason I think I'm interesting enough to start a blog about...whatever. So here goes. Maybe nothing, maybe something. I'll see how it works out.

Nothing ever worth doing is easy.

I keep trying to tell myself that as things just…happen, whether I want them to or not. Things aside from my grad school application have certainly gotten dicey, which takes my focus off of grad school, etc…So I’m trying.

Grad school itself is going along at a clip, though I’m applying for my student visa at the same time I’m looking for a place to live once I get there. I’m extremely excited to just get there and get started living in England, studying game design. It’s all this protracted in-between stuff that’s bogging me down in the meantime.

The only thing keeping me going at this point is the thought that I know for a fact that I need a change, that this is a good chance for me to find that change, and that I’m the one that needs to make it happen. Onward and…Eastward? Is that a word?

I received my formal acceptance letter through FedEx this morning. It directed me to respond via email, after which I immediately received a reply that had a customized spreadsheet, detailing estimated costs for me specifically to study in the London school.

It is quite literally a fraction of what an American postgraduate program would cost. Roughly half. I am quite jazzed about the prospect.

However, I also find a slight stumbling block: I have missed the housing deadline by a long way, and thus must find independent accommodation off-campus. Seeing as how this entire venture is a challenge unto itself, I have taken this in stride and consider it just another part of my cultural, as well as formal, education. My only choice is to dive in feet first, or not at all. Here goes.

So… I decided to try this out on a whim. I’ve got a lot going on in my life, and writing is always a good way to vent for good or ill. For those visiting for the first time, a short bit of info on where I am in my life:

25 years old, unemployed since December, and currently going through the process of preparing for graduate school…in England. As I currently reside in Central New Jersey, this is a bit of a change of scenery. There are many hoops that I have to jump through to make such a thing happen, and I intend to do so. This page may be dedicated in part to my progress through both preparing and undertaking graduate school in the UK.

It will also in part reflect my interests, and whatever catches my eye at any given moment. A short list: Star Wars, Star Trek, Batman, video games (what I’m hoping to study, as it should happen), comics in general, all types of comedy, movies, bad movies, RPG gaming, my own efforts to create an RPG of my own, and various other scatter-shot brainwave malfunctions.
