Summer Has Come And Gone . . . .

I'm a slacker. I won't try to deny it. But don't they say: "Better late than never?" I don't know if I wholly believe that phrase myself. For instance, what if you were late, someone died? Then it wouldn't matter weather you were late or never because it would have the same outcome. But that's not the point.

School is now in full swing. My classes are challenging, the homework is icky, and the dates with girls are nonexistent. That about sums up my life. My job is alright (I'm a computer labbie at the CIT computer lab), in fact I'm at work right now! They let me do whatever I want (except listen to headphones ;-( which is the hardest part of my job). I have had tons of homework or have been VERY busy all the shifts I have worked so far, but today is more chill. The only homework I have is to watch a youtube video and answer two questions for it for my nutrition class and then do some CIS homework. I can't do either of those things here because I can't have headphones on and these computers here in the computer lab don't have Microsoft Office 2010. So that is why I'm updating my blog.

My favorite class is my 3D class, by far. I'm excited to go to class and the assignments are enjoyable too! Here is a sample of my first project I did. They are of my AKG 240s headphones. On of the requirements of the assignment was to only use the simple objects that Maya gives you to work with.

It's not perfect but I think it turned out alright. Here are the actual headphones.

My biggest problem I had was the lighting. I couldn't get it bright enough to really see the detail so it ended up seeing more detail in the refection, which is kinda messed up.

Well, my shift is over and I am hungry. Fare thee well!

Why Run?

This is why!

Let me know what you think!

Hello Again . . . .

Sorry I haven't written in a while, I have been busy. With finals drawing near the fear of how sucky the summer could be is closing in.

I won't be as busy, that's good.

I will have to work my butt off for some much needed money, that's bad.

I will get to see my sister a lot, that's good.

My almost non-existent social life will be snuffed out completely, that's bad.

I won't have to pay for food, that's good.

I will undoubtedly run into certain people that I would rather avoid, that's bad.

I won't have to eat cafeteria food (!), that's very good.

I will be forced, due to geographical location, to deal with Spring City's "idiosyncrasies", that's very bad.

I get to go out to Indiana and see my sister, that's good.

I have to go out to Indiana to move my sister out (heavy lifting +long hours of driving + stressed parents/sister = bad), that's bad.

I will have time to work on some projects that I have been meaning to get to, that's good.

I might be forced to be enslaved at Terrel's once again, that's very, very, very bad.

I might NOT be forced to be enslaved at Terrel's, that's very good.

It will be warm weather, that's good.

It won't be as nice as St. George, that's bad.

I will miss my friends, that's bad.

I can kiss any chance of a love life goodbye while I'm at home, that's very bad.

I have to deal with all the memories that are back home, that's also very, very bad.

As you can see, I ran out of good things before I ran out of bad things, hence the dismal outlook on this summer. I should really be working on my paper rather than writing this, but I'm really good at procrastinating.

If you made it to the end of this pointless dribbling, congratulations!

Your Worst Nightmare . . .

Is here!

It took many hours of slaving away at the computer lab, but I have finally finished it! My fake trailer for my video editing class. The fake movie is called "Ring Around The Rosie" and stars my friends Ashleigh, Camilla and Alexa. I would like to thank them for being good sports and being in my silly movie!

I hope you all enjoy this!

{Peace}

Time, Time For A Change . . . .

Let me know what you think of my new blog layout.

Be honest! :)

"Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 . . .

a date which will live in infamy."

Here is my slideshow project that I did for my video editing class. Like the name suggests, I could ONLY use still images, no video. I did the best I could with what I had. I hope you all like it! :)

(I take no credit for pictures, music, sounds or anything else in this video. All I did was put it together for purely academic and emotional purposes).

P.S. This version on facebook is better quality . . . .

I Just Remembered . . . .

The reason I love anime so much is because of this . . . .

Death Note truly encompasses everything that I love about art and anime. The story and visual style are stunning, the music is riveting, and the characters are diverse, deep, and fascinating.

Just in case you were wondering, I love the animated series, not the Japanese live action movies (which are kinda a joke). That being said, I'm looking forward to what an american will do with the story even though I doubt it will be as good as the original magna comics or the anime series.

All in all, I highly recommend the series, music, or the magna. Great stuff. And I guarantee it will keep you guessing, right up til the end! :)

{Peace}

P.S. Just for fun, these are the rules of the Notebook (pictured in the first photo) just in case you were curious. Enjoy!
