Chris asked me a few weeks ago what I would do if I won the lottery. I immediately answered:<\/p>\n

Go back to school.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, I don’t have to win the lottery to attend the occasional class. I already tried the community college nearby. It was kind of disappointing.<\/p>\n

I am a GRADUATE now. This high horse has a nice view.<\/p>\n
