Thought I'd post an update since it's been a while since my last blog post. Wow, this semester at school was incredibly intense, the most work I've done all year long. Over a dozen of sleepless nights on supertight deadlines including Without delivery, mid-terms, Game Developer's Convention, the AAU Spring Show, and finals. I really poured my heart, sweat, blood, and tears into every single project this semester, and I have an under-appreciated lonely girlfriend to prove it. Now that I've had a bit of time to relax, and recuperate from such a strenuous semester, I'm enjoying my time off by watching season 1 of Star Trek: Voyager. Maybe I'll make it to the end of season 7, but I do plan to be a bit busy this summer, especially with my previously mentioned under-appreciated girlfriend.

Right now I'm in the process of fighting with financial aid to get enough to go to summer school and live out here in San Francisco for a couple more months. Hopefully I can also figure out my situation for next Fall and Spring as well.

Also working on giving my website a totally new facelift, integrating it more with the style of this blog, as I've really fallen in love with it. It just feels very simple, clean, and web2.0-ish. Wish it could just be a simple copy and paste and bam my site is done, but I'm having to go in deep and meticulously write some seriously complex code. Definitely glad I chose VFX as my career path and not web development. I can deal with web development for now, but there's no way I could do this 24/7. CSS was a bit frustrating to get a hang of at first, but now I'm loving it. It sped up my workflow considerably, and now I have more control over every single element in my layout.

I'm planning to have my website coincide with the launch of The Avenger, and I'll have many various streaming and downloading options available. I'll talk with the other ninja team after everything is finished and see if they would like me to put their video up. Both videos excel in different ways and both are a blast to watch. It would be awesome if I could, so people can see two totally different approaches to the same assignment.

Well, back to coding....
