I am rapidly losing the small amount of concentration I had. I don't know how I'll make it through the rest of the day.
ION, it's just started snowing here. Small powdery flakes that look kind of fake.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Would it be good or bad to feed Owen some chicken pot pie?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I need friendly pros/cons advice. I'm looking at the USC Annenberg School of Journalism. They have a Master's with an Online Journalism concentration:
It'll cost me about 50k. I'm 34 years old. Is this craxy? Also, can I send my book as my writing sample? Or is that snotty?
I have almost a whole year to do my GREs, work out the financials (please please can I get a grant?), and apply.

Totally not crazy. I figure I'll be 35 when I finally go to do my graduate degree.

Not crazy at all. If you go, in six years you can be 40 and doing what you want to do. If you don't go, you'll still be 40 in six years, but possibly still doing what you're doing now, which isn't making you happy.

As someone who has that much in student loans, I'd say think about it very seriously. If there is any way you could do much of the coursework as part of a PhD program (and then stop at a Master's) apply that way. I don't know about USC specifically, but, in general, you are much more likely to get funding as a PhD student. MAs are the bread and butter of grad schools. PhD students these days are usually fully funded (if you're not worth funding, they often won't accept you).
