OMFG! This rocks! And it is sooooo going into my masters thesis work on skills learned in gaming (and WoW, specifically) that transfer to real life!!! (and yes, I'm completely serious; I get to play for real-world masters degree credit; how's *that* for a plum assignment... or should I say quest?)
That is frigging awesome. I want to get a degree in gaming, lol!
I did something similar - I had a Women in Business class, and for our final project we had to put together a presentation about various topics that the teacher came up with. One of them was "Women in the Gaming Industry", so I snagged that one up right away and used that as an excuse to make my first WoW video, lol.
One of the people I had been working with awhile back is getting her freakin' PhD in gaming out of Pepperdine! I've had several of the academics I'm working with not-so-gently hinting that I should do the same ... to which I reply "Let me finish the damn master's first!"
BTW, I swiped your story (and credited) in my own LJ. It was just too good not to pass around. :)
