As of this week, the book is available on Amazon in digital/paperback. (Amazon will link the two on the same page sometime next week)

I'm pretty excited about it! And also terrified. We'll see how it goes.

I'm excited to be entering this tunnel. I'll probably be way more excited when I get to leave it a lifetime from now.

Remember that time we talked about Mike Oldfield? I love music!

Man, I haven't listened to Mike Oldfield in forever. I should do that.

He has a new release, Return to Ommadawn.

Yeah I can't afford anything like that either. But still it's the thought that counts.

I'll start in the winter, after being a part-time student at the local community college the last couple years, I'm off to learn at the big university. Still working on my undergrad, but it's a step in the right direction.

I am also a Mathematics major. Yup.

I know this is late, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm so proud of you!! Good job newt!!! Make sure you enjoy the heck out of big Uni life. Learn everything you can! Sometimes it even happens during class.

Srrsly though, college is an amazing experience. Make sure to experience as much of it as you absolutely can.

I'll pass on the best bit of advice I got about college and unintentionally failed to follow:

"College is the best experience of your life. People think the goal of college is to graduate. This is false. The goal of college is to not graduate. And eventually the University expects you to be done with them and move on. You should avoid this at all costs. If you think really hard about it, Professors are just people who got really good at not graduating."

It was the wisest thing I'd ever heard. The only comfort I can take in it is that the person who spoke it accidentally graduated before I accidentally did.

I hope it is a great addition to your life.
