...Almost a year?

So I've seriously lost track of time and haven't posted anything for...damn near a year. So what's been going on? Quite a bit, in fact. From my diet/body change perspective, I'm down to 166 as of yesterday The goal is 8% body fat, so I've still a few pounds to lose (around 10.8 as of this morning). My diet started June 15, so on that day I'll have pictures and fanfare and personal congratulations, etc, etc.

On a non-diet subject, I've learned to brew beer. A few days ago I received the ingredients for my fourth brew to date, my third all-grain brew and, if things go as well as they did the last time I brewed, my second successful from-scratch brew. It's going to be a red ale, and there should be enough for a case of pint bottles for Otakon.

I can't remember if I spoke of my job, but post-graduation I was offered a job for Hosting.com, which I worked from mid-June until Mid-November. At which point I received a job offer from another company, NRG-Edge. Love these guys. And...I'm going to be sad to go. Why? I've also been accepted into grad school!

UD's MBA program, I applied and was accepted, and for icing on the cake - I've received a fellowship worth 50% tuition. This means I pay no tuition for my first semester - and if my grades keep up the second one, also. It's an opportunity that I can't turn down, a $12k/semester MBA program for, assuming two semesters of fellowship, $12k TOTAL (in-state students get 50% off from the get-go).

Hopefully, combining my savings and on-campus jobs I can come out with paying $0 for grad school. With $22k in loans outstanding, I need some sort of financial wizardry to get this done.

I'm going to try to post more, I know I need to. Even if nobody reads anything it'll allow me to get ideas and thoughts and feelings, etc. out in a timely manner.
