It IS finally official. I've started school and am once again a graduate student. This time I'm pursuing a PhD in Educational Computing. Never before have I been so scared and excited in my life.

I had my first class last night, and after a few minutes, I started to breathe a little easier. I was able to meet many of my classmates and have been amazed at some of their journeys.

I don't have much else to say yet, but I've already started researching my first major topic. I'm planning on looking at gamification in education. (If you are confused with that fancy word "gamification", think Foursquare, the location-sharing application. That application gamified location.) Hopefully I'll have much more to say on it soon because it's a topic I've been dying to research.

Hears to the next five years!
