Good News Everybody!
Feb. 28th, 2013 05:15 pmIt's been a while again but I've been busy a bit.
So here's what's been up.
Been building lots and lots of stuff in SL. Need to learn a 3D program though so I can make better stuff. It makes it nice to be able to build stuff with prim limit isn't in the way though and that's what makes mesh (3D items transfered from such programs like Maya, 3D Max, or Blender) amazing in that aspect. I remade something I made a couple of years ago in SL and it far surpasses what I made previously (which happens to be the American Brewery in Baltimore). Also been just building detailed little things improving my skills but now that I have a desktop I can learn Blender and can make things much more impressive.
I did finally get the job at Target and they... well love me there, and it's funny but I actually like it too. It's nice to be able to move about and do things without asking and have it appreciated rather than trying to do something and being shot down at every turn. I still hate the hours and hate the pay but I keep saying if that's all I hated of this job and all I liked about the other than I would rather be in retail. But of course don't plan to stay there forever which brings me to...
I got accepted into Columbia College for the fall of this year for Game Design. I think this is the course I should take as it combines my creative/creating spirit and writing/English degree with another aspect I like which is video games. I already see half my stories as video games as it is so why not try to make them as such. I am going to make my focus Game Development because I am not much of a programer and can only really build buildings so far haven't really gotten the hang of making textures for them.
In other news I am relatively debt free. I did something many have said is stupid but all the same if I didn't do this I would not have been able to pay my bills as they were. So I looked and found I had enough in my 401K to cover my current debt and the taxes that will ensue by taking it out early so that's what I did. I figured once I got a job in the field I am planning on getting to I can redouble efforts into making up what I had lost. That and I don't have that financial burden hanging over me anymore.
So I think that is it for now. I would say "I will post more frequently" but at this point it's more of a once I remember or see this I will post again XD (eg when I feel like it).
Fell free to reply as you know me I will likely respond :3
