as of yesterday, i’m now an official university of massachusetts boston sophomore student. it has taken me a total of 6 years off and on schooling around the country to complete my first year, but i managed to do it while maintaining a GPA slightly under 4.0 (3.8 to be exact).

the last time i was enrolled in a university was when i was an eighteen year-old father-to-be at the univerisity of texas – austin. that was a rough time but a necessary one that ultimately led me to california and then to boston.

i feel incredibly blessed and excited. i don’t doubt i’ll spend the bulk of the next decade trying to finish this degree, but i’m looking forward to it.
