Febuary Already...

February marked my 5th month attending Full Sail. It's insane how fast time goes attending this school, but at the same time it makes sense because I've learned so much since I've arrived. Before coming here, I was extremely anxious, but I had absolutely no idea where it would take me. I wasn't even sure if I would be able to handle it. However, I can safely dismiss those worries now. In these short 5 months, I've grown to adapt to a completely new environment, live on my own, and begin a new chapter in my life. In a lot of ways it's relieving to see that I was able to make it this far. Despite the fact that I had a lot of confidence that I could do it, I also had no idea because it is unlike anything I've ever experienced before. Being over 1500 miles away from the only home I knew is unreal... I was cut loose from my resources and put in a position where I have to face a lot of new challenges on my own. Every challenge adds a new piece of my character though, I can see myself changing everyday...

School this Month has been great. I've developed an awesome group of friends ( a few which are from my very first class before failing English ) which has really helped bring the comfortable atmosphere I've been used to for so long.

I'm halfway through this Month's courses which include ADG ( Advanced Computer Graphics ) and GAM ( Geometry and Measurement ). ADG primarily tightens our skills in Illustrator, and we're currently moving into Photoshop now. I'm in the process of finishing our last Illustrator assignment which was our 3D object in a 2D enviroment. I did my cell phone, and it's coming along pretty well. Along with that, we have to create a layout to put the object in which will be done in Photoshop. The whole project is due Monday, so I got to get going! I'll post pictures when I'm done...

GAM is easy - it's a blast back to Sophomore year for me. I've always sucked at Math, but show it to me enough and I'll pick up the concepts eventually. Our teacher Mr. Chu is a funny, heavy accented middle aged Asian man who does his best to teach the Pythagorean theorem to a bunch of left brained students.

I'll be adding alot more to this blog as the year develops. I want to add plenty of visual stuff to keep people up to date on what I've been creating as well. Stay tuned!
