Yes, I'm back from lurkage mode, and after 3 long years of studying, I have finally attained my highest goal to date. Last night, I graduated from Erie Business Center with my Associates Degree in Accounting (so, I got my IT degree last year, you might think, so what's the big deal?) Well, for the first time in my life, I proved to myself that with added effort and concentration, I *COULD* in fact, graduate with the highest honors possible, Summa Cum Laude. Granted, it just squeaked in there at a 3.81, but it was worth every bit of added effort to get that. I passed all of my Accounting courses with solid A's, and only had one B+ this time around (that was because my car broke down the day before one of my psychology tests over the summer, and I got a C on that test). Now that school is finished, the real test begins... finding a suitable job in the field. please keep this in your prayers, as I'll be starting the hunt as early as next week.

So, hopefully, I'll be able to resume posting on here, now that I have more time to do other things. Been playing a bit of WoW since the expansion came out, and have found it interesting, and a bit hard to get around, but I'll get used to it. Having fun on my 2 worgen as well.

The Return

After a nine month (well 8 month) hiatus away from World of Warcraft, I have returned. And wouldn't you know that once I started playing again, the main reason that caused me to take the break, ie. unemployment, would be resolved. So, while I have re-entered the world of Warcraft, I have also re-entered the workforce, and my gaming time will be limited to a couple hours/day on the days I have work and school, and mostly evenings and all nights on my nights off (since I'm going to be working third shift.) Any major changes? well, I returned to Eldre'Thalas server after leaving it to play with an old friend on Kael'thas server a year ago, and with that change, came the retransfer of my death knight, Llaihr, back to Eldre'Thalas and faction/race change to Alliance/Night Elf, where he began. I have also begun to level my hunter, Aidoann, on that server as well, and she has jumped from level 34 to 62 in just a couple of weeks. I've begun to enjoy playing her, so she may become my new main. I am so looking forward to the Cataclysm expansion's release in December, and will most likely pre-order it in the next week or so, once I get my financial aid refund check from the school. I will probably also update my banner sometime this weekend, since Llaihr is no longer a blood elf. lol

taking a break.

After much thought, I have decided that it's time to take a break away from the land of Azeroth, and take some time to enjoy the other things in life. I'm not going away forever, my account will remain active. I just needed to take a break from the monotony. This means a break away from this blog as well, for a while, though I may still post from time to time. Until I return, feel free to check out my other blog at The Dark Side of the Glass, and be well.
