Today I graduated from Purdue University. From this day forward, I will be entering the fabled "real world"; thus officially bringing to a close the chapter in my life known as college. My achievements were many, including Bachelor of Science degrees in both Management and Computer Graphics Technology, an Associate's degree in Human Relations, and ( Read more... )

Been having some tough times lately. The issue - senioritis. I'm graduating in May, which makes my classes right now seem almost trivial. I have very little motivation, and I feel like I'm forcing myself to go. I'll be fine, no worries, it's just not very fun.

Today was so-so. Started in a very foul mood. Dropped off an art project and went to work ( Read more... )

Today went... alright. I'm starting to feel a little down. Actually, been feeling that way. Maybe I'm homesick, or maybe I'm tired of the way my life is always so chaotic, hectic, busy. It's aggravating.

In drawing class today, my drawings were torn apart. Normally I'm very receptive to constructive criticism, but today I just didn't want to hear ( Read more... )

I'm keeping it short this time, guys. Spent the night at a friend's place. He had a get-together party shindig. Watched Meet the Spartans and another equally silly movie. Had a drink or two, and played Smash Bros MELEE - that's right, classic gamecube fun.

Also today was the bi-weekly vampire: the masquerade tabletop RPG. Good times. We barely ( Read more... )

Got one more presentation out of the way. ECON class 5-minute presentation, farewell! After that, lunch with Tim W. Had a nice chat with him about random things.

All that's left to do is turn in a paper that's already done sometime tomorrow, turn in a different paper and give a 5-minute presentation on it tomorrow, do 2 sketches, final exam, and ( Read more... )

Okay, not nearly as wild as Tuesday, but still very enjoyable!

Wednesday
After class my Mom, Dad, and brother Eric stopped by to visit after my last class. We started out by going to get ice cream at the Silver Dipper - woot! After that, we swung by the MSEE building to see the SIGGRAPH computer graphics club gallery where they were showing their ( Read more... )

Holy crap, you guys won't believe how packed full my day was. I'll walk you through it by the hour. Sheesh!

Overall, it was focused on our senior project group (the one making the Nintendo DS game) and how we had students beta-test it, and then presented our project at yet another competition.

5:00 AM: Wake up nice and early after 4 hours of sleep.
6: ( Read more... )

Not much to report on for the past few days except tons of work and an awesome dinner event tonight. The computer graphics club had its annual Spring Banquet. It was at a much nicer place than the previous years, with much better catoring food (VERY tasty), and half the cost.

This year's special guest speaker was Cyndi Greening who spoke about ( Read more... )

While yesterday was pretty big (what with fires and posters and such), today was even BIGGER. Yes, you heard right. Read on...

8:00 AM: Morning routine, then dress in business formal for a presentation and my graduation Senior photo. It took a while. I hate formal attire...

10:30 AM: Arrive at the photo contest gallery to volunteer 2 hours. Here I ( Read more... )
