Its not that I’m lazy, I just figured there is no point in posting right now. My life as of late is the same school-work-sometimes sleep schedule over and over again. Just trying to survive till I start at Lockheed. However there have been a few highlights since Katsucon so I guess I’ll write about those so people can stop yelling at me *cough* John *cough*.
I set a start date with Lockheed, monday May 16th. Two days after I graduate. Blah. I figured its better to get started right away then wait a week or two and live on Circuit City paychecks for longer. The plan is to move down during finals week or something along those lines. Still gotta look for a place, but that comes in April. In other news my mum picked up tickets for the Ben Fold’s concert on the 13th (Ben Folds is teh awesome!) so its going to be a busy weekend.
March 12 was the Nike Indoor Nationals, the 7th track & field event I’ve attended to date. Its scary I’m starting to recognize athlete names. Now of course it wouldn’t be much of a track meet if the internet worked, right? Halfway through the first day the track admin got it kinda working, except for the fact it was slower than AOL. Mike and I didn’t have the ability to upload images because of this. As a result I’m still trying to finish getting the galleries together a week later. In my defense it does take a long time to sort through 10 gigs of images, and I don’t exactly have lots of free time right now.
Speaking of lack of free time - I’ve cut back a lot on WoW. No, I haven’t lost my mind or interest in the game. Right now I just can’t afford to stay up that late every night questing. I figure I’ll get back into it once I move. Its going to be odd having every evening free, so I’m sure I’ll need something to fill the time.
I have however gotten back into art, although I’ve moved away from sketching and more towards computer work. I’m trying to get my Photoshop skills up to where I want them to be so I’ve started CGing Megatokyo strips. Pretty basic work, but its helping me get shading and other simple effects down. I’m throwing the ones up that I do in the stetchbook incase you want to take a look. Its going well so far - the people in the Megatokyo forums seem to really like them which is encouraging. Its going to take me a long time to be able to do what I want to with Photoshop, but at least this is a start. I’d like to get up to the level of Anna or Merekat. Long way to go. Sigh.
Lockheed had a dinner for all the Penn State grads that accepted a job with them last night up at the Tavern on main campus. Three hour drive for free food lol. It was worth it though. The manager that sat at my table had a lot of good advice so I’m glad I went. I was hoping that someone there would be working at the same location I am but alas no. There are a few people working at one that is about 40 miniutes away, but thats a bit far. Looks like I’m only going to know Felicity and Maura when I move down there. I headed up to campus a bit earlier then I needed to so I could see Angela again for the first time in a while. Her dad stopped in the Shitty a few weeks ago and said I should get back in touch with her, so I did. ’Twas good to see her again. Hopefully we’ll remember to IM each other this time instead of getting burried in work and forgetting.
Time for sleep - I have a class in five hours. Boo.
