So school is starting up soon, I'm not sure exactly what my schedule is but assuming I get all of the classes requested, I'll get my Comp Sci and Java VHS classes. With VHS I get to work on stuff over the internet on my spare time and mail it to a teacher who lives in Connecticut. Sounds fun eh? I'm kind of excited because it leaves room for me to procrastinate, it's supposedly fairly easy, and the grade is weighted the same as real classes. This will also help me build on what little knowledge I have of Java and programming in general; preparing me for college.
So I think I have made up my mind and I'm not going to potentially throw my life away by seeking a degree in "Interactive Media Design" or "Electronic Gaming and Interactive..." yada yada, whatever long name they wan't to give it to make it sound professional. My dream would be to get into the gaming industry, but I realize the competition and will be content if I don't make it. But I can still try. So yeah, I'm definately going to take a wiser path and major in Computer Science or Information Technology. Both would give me a good background in programming but Comp Sci really covers the entire spectrum of computers: programming languages, algoriths, computer theory, etc. My top college choice is Rochester Institute of Technology. They have concentrations in game design as well so that'll give me some experience in that while I still earn a respectable degree that could land me a decent job. I just hope my grades will cut it. God I regret slacking in high school...
I'm also working on building my artistic skills...going to try and get Art II added to my already loaded schedule, fool around more with Photoshop and draw/sketch more. Going to try and pick up a drawing tablet for my PC as well. We'll see how that goes. Here's something I whipped up a few days ago for the Moz La Punk forums (click to get actual size).
Well that is about it, if anyone reads this leave a comment and let me know, eh?
