Are You Where You'd Thought You'd Be Right Now?

After a couple of false starts, I'm finally on my way to fulfill one of my life goals of obtaining a Master's degree. I always wanted to work in the video game industry, and if my studies go well in Digipen, I'm on route to achieve that. I have an interview for an internship at Microsoft in a few weeks, and if that goes well, I have increased my chances of getting into the industry.

A few years ago, I wanted to enter Carnegie Mellon's Entertainment Technology Center program, but my plan to gain the materials needed for a good application didn't pan out (especially since New York City surprisingly didn't have many opportunities to build video game development skills). After realizing that my GRE scores were going to expire last year, I changed my plan and took a gamble at applying to Digipen. I'm happy where I'm at right now, even though achieving my goals is taking longer than I anticipated.

Don't feel bad. That happens to everyone. Just try to learn from the set backs. And remember, there is normally good from even set backs.

Also Drew, there's a TON of shit on YouTube for every instrument, which is very helpful if there's a particular thing you're getting stuck on.

I find sitting on the porch + whiskey helps me concentrate, AND I sound fucking great by the end of the evening.

Nope. That ship has sailed. I'm dating a co-worker. I know, totally against my "company ink" policy, but she's a keeper.
