Choices, money, etc
I'm a bit frustrated these days. I'd nearly completed the web design project for the guy who hired me when a couple of guys at the same company looked at it and decided he'd provided me with the wrong outline / outdated information, and called me in for a meeting, all this time later, to tell me how it should have been done and needs to be changed.
So far I won't be making any more money, really, because it was more or less "forfaitère" (although I'd given the guy the estimated # of hours it would take me).
I really wanted to be done with this, I have so much other work to do for school. I can't imagine what I would've done if I'd done full-time school this month like I had initially planned...
Grawr!
Moving on...
Band practice is changing locations to somewhere slightly more accessible (the plateau). While this is good because I'll save on time and gas money, renting the place isn't cheap. As a matter of fact, it takes up almost all the money I have currently allocated to 'my activities'. But we don't really have a choice because I don't have enough vocal amplifiers to compete with the sound of the drums. So, really, it's my fault :P
So what'll I do for social stuff? I can hang out at Ted's, as per usual. I can invite myself over to Iza's :P There's gaming with Berrt that should start up soon.
I can always take out of my savings, but I was actually hoping to do something big with those savings by next spring. Like, you know, go to Europe, or get a nose job. A new computer will be needed soon, too! My babies are growin' old. But I can only afford 1 of those things, the others would have to wait until I am gainfully employed, which will (we hope) in May 2009.
My learning of DirectX is happening, slowly but surely. And I'm about to install 3d studio max to do a bit of modeling to use as meshes in my game. These are the things I wish I could dedicate all my time to, but I'm taking Financial Accounting this summer as part of my business minor, and that is not an easy course at all. It's boring while being interesting at the same time. It's useful, but I just find myself always wishing I were doing something else than...
