So, it's been a while since we've had a break, and when I say we I mean the students of AID. We get 3 week breaks alternatively with only get one week breaks, so every six months we actually get to kick back. The week breaks really only allow you to breathe. Anyway. I'm going to be in Midland for like 2 weeks. I will probably be very bored. But it'll be good to be home for a while.

Almost 2 years in... Things look pretty good. I did my first character model. Enjoyed that, though harder than I thought. Got Character Animation next quarter, excited about that. I have to start thinking about graduating and getting a job. Which means an internship, but that's really hard when I have to take 5 classes a quarter.

In other news. I finally got to play Metal Gear Solid 4,
Been on a binge, played the game all day non stop. It's been like 15 hours. so close to beating it. I'm glad to say it didn't let me down. love the MGS series. I'm looking forward to the one on the PSP too. BTW, my awesome friends bought me a PSP for my birthday. it's so awesome. Now I wonder why it took me so long to get one. Lastly, I built me a beast of a computer. Careful, computer nerd talk here "I put in a new motherboard. a nForce 780i sli, which is pretty nice especially for the price. I put in 6GBs of RAM, which I'll probably upgrade to 8GB some time soon. With the mother board came a pretty nice CPU a intel quad core that runs at 2.66GHz at 1066MHz. To accent my field of study, animation, I got a new graphics card, a EVGA GTX 260 overclocked edition, which is SLI compatible, so I'll probably just add those on as I go. I skipped the HD because, ya know, I have one, but I'll probably upgrade that too eventually. It runs fairly well, the games look great, everything at full. Sadly, though it runs too hot when I play games, and after a while it shuts off on me. So, I need one last piece, a new case. I want a cooler master HAF case, which runs for about $150, but has awesome cooling for the price, so we'll see. At least I think that's what the problem is." Really I tried to keep it as cheap as possible without sacrificing quality parts.
