Next month I turn 36, the day after I become a half time college student. I passed the entrance exams today and only need to finish up some paperwork for financial aid (and retake 1 test if I want to skip Math 101 and go into PC technologies right away).
What makes this so special, beside the fact I am an old fart; I am a disabled, old fart who is trying to keep from having to get replacement parts for several of my joints and parts of my spine (which niether the state or federal government seems intestered in paying for, I think they assume it will be cheaper letting me live on disability benefits and foodstamps than fixing me).
Having gotten the chronic pain under control my mind is becoming more useful, not as sharp as when I was a young teen, but better than when I was to support a family and allowing my body to fall apart despite the mind numbing effects chronic pain can cause.
The only down side, I won't be able to play NWN on Fredian as much.
Woo Hooooo, I'm happy in my own emotionally disfunctional way.

Congrats!
I'm heading back to school shortly myself, and I feel your pain over the red tape!

I sincerly hope that regardless of the injuries and pain, you are able to receive the medical help and or medication to get you where you need to be. Have an absolute blast in school and make the best of it. I think I can speak for all Fredians when I say we are pulling for you and of course when you do have time to log we will all be here.
