Burton Speaks

Irony: i·ro·ny n The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.

I'm Burton from Portland, Oregon, United States. I'm 33 and live in the Portland Metro Area. I work hard. I drive fast. I play often. I'm sarcastic, appreciate irony, and find humor in even the darkest of events. I'm non-traditional. I question authority. I'm a know-it-all and a planner. And most days, I wake up thinking the world is full of fundamentally good people... and have a lot of problems when I'm proven wrong. Any other questions?

The cat is out of the bag

So I made it official today. I handed in my notice at work that I'm leaving August 4th. I'll be starting the MBA program at Willamette University a few weeks after that.

I took the GMAT test last fall and did pretty well. I applied in the spring and got in - with a scholarship! I've found an apartment and I'm more or less ready to go... I just have to make sure all my ducks are in a row, which includes things like selling my car and filling out paperwork.

But I'm excited. I really am. Provided I get through this program successfully that should give me a lot of flexibility in the future - something I value. Wish me luck!
