Video games are taking ovarrrrr...  
Well, finally got back from orientation today for GNOMON. :O It went longer than I expected, but at least was informative. I really need to kick myself into being more social and making friends there as much as I can, since not only is it, hey, more friends, but also possibly future industry contacts. And those can never hurt! The director was just so enthusiastic about everything, he made me lawl. Financial aid still eats at my brain, but I think I'll be able to survive it.

Feh, I'm almost thinking about join the Gold's Gym next door to the Television Studio, because then I can get a parking pass and actually park in the nearby lot. Parking for that school is going to be the hugest pain in the ass imaginable. It was easy on Sunday mornings when no one was around to park, but today I circled the blocks for 15 minutes before finding something. -_-
(That, and should I actually find any time to use the gym, I could stand to lose some weight...)

So my class schedule for the next two and a half months or so will be as follows:

Monday - 1:00-4:00 PM: Introduction to Maya
4:00-6:00 PM: required lab time
Tuesday - 9:00-12:00 PM: Texture Mapping 1
3:00-6:00 PM: History of Visual Effects
Wednesday - 9:00-12:00 PM: required lab time
1:00-4:00 PM: Visual Communication
Sunday - 1:00-4:00 PM - Storyboarding and Animatics
4:00-7:00 PM - Introduction to Compositing

Which leaves Thursday, Friday and Saturday as technically completely free, but I'm most likely going to be using a lot more lab time than I'm actually scheduled (which is the minimum). So oyyy, I'll be busy! @_@ But still, I am looking forward to it!

Otherwise, I've been video gaming...am now in the Feywood in FFXII; having just beat Rafflesia. I did a bunch of marks, sidequests and snagged an esper before then, though.
Also, [livejournal.com profile] tegurunrampant gets a thousand points of awesome since she got me the FFXII OST, which I've wanted since I started playing and it's JAWSOME ♥♥♥

[livejournal.com profile] ghettopeach's friend Liz brought over her Wii yesterday, and I got to try it out with Wario Ware, and then started playing Twilight Princess. XDDDD Holy crap, that was hella fun. The wiimote took a bit of getting used to (I kept wanting to mash 'A' instead of actually swing the thing) but I think a bit of practice would get me farther. I basically got as far as Link turning into a wolf and then ending up in jail with Midna laughing at him before I had to stop. But it was still craploads of fun.

I WILL CONTINUE TO LUST AFTER FINAL MIX UNTIL IT IS BROUGHT TO THE STATES. *luuuuustillylustlust*

Less fun is the fact that I've got wisdom teeth growing in. They weren't really a bother before, but these past few days they've been hurting all the time, and today it's started hurting to eat or smile too wide. This is definitely Not At All Good. DDDX Even putting aside the fact that the idea of surgery scares me, as of this current moment I have no insurance. But I may just have to say screw it to both of those things and get it fixed anyway if this pain becomes any worse. ajsdsakldjsaldsalk *cryyyyyyy*

Drawing: Working on comics, natch. I need to work on Lunargyros next, actually, and post tomorrow's page. :O

Writing: Fic, plus starting an epic sporking. XD (Not Liquid fire, kthx.)
 
 
Current Mood: excited/nervous
Current Music: Final Fantasy XII - The Sandsea

seriously, don't worry about the wisdom teeth surgery. it's insanely fun in the beginning because of the laughing gas...yeah the next day you puff out, but then its an excuse to be pampered by your friends by ice cream and movies. also not do anything. also vicodin. then you can be like House! well...i don't reccomend that....lol.
