For whom the school bell tolls

I'm going to grad school!

I finally got word from the University that the scholarship I applied for is going through and I'll be going to grad school basically for free. Now all that's left is for me to start class in late August.

Which is good, because that's the only type of grad school I can afford right now. You'd think that between pillaging innocent villages, robbing maidens in distress, and holding the world to ransom, that Overlording would be a lucrative and rewarding career choice. But that's only the public face of the overlord. No one sees the enormous amounts of time and money that goes into designing hi-tech super weapons, training and outfitting minions, bribing key officials to obtain permits for the gigantic death lasers, and just generally keeping the forces of evil up to date. So after all is said and done I'm lucky to have enough money left over to buy a case of chicken and entrails flavored Ramen noodles for the week, much less go back to school.

So thank you, Overlord University for coming through when I needed you most and allowing me to further my career and promote evil to newer and higher levels. You've done the world a great disservice. You should be proud.

Things to Read While You Suffer update:

Flaky Pastry: This genre bending strip is a cute and funny story about a mechanically inclined goblin girl, a bookish catgirl, and a dangerously psychotic elf girl sharing an apartment at a University. Don't expect any epic storylines or tear-jerking drama here, but if you like good artwork and ridiculous situations against a backdrop of classic gamer fandom, then this may be the strip for you. Definitely worth a read.
