Fall '08

I've got a little less than a month left of vacation, so now's the time to start prepping the fall semester. Here's a look at my schedule:

I'm trying something new this semester - as you can see, I've put nearly all of my units on a single day (Tuesday.) This means I have a nearly 12 hour day on Tuesday, but I'm out of class by 10am on Mondays and Wednesdays, and Noon on Thursday. This frees up almost the entire day on those three days of the week, leaving me free to work or just have the whole day off. We'll see how well this works out.

My classes include Spanish, a liberal studies class called Technology and Social Change, Performance Art, and something called Generating Narrative in Video and New Media. Of course, whenever the title of a class is more than three words I typically have no idea what the course is about (and often still don't at the end of the semester.) Should be an interesting line up.

Since that's all taken care of and paid for, I now turn to figuring out some of the things I wrote about last time, and just enjoying the rest of the summer in general. Recently I've climbed Candy Mountain (Lake Calaveras to most people), played dodgeball, broke my dance mat, got two new ones in the mail, and gone to Comicon.

I had a lot more fun at the con this year since I was a bit more prepared and saw a lot more cool panel discussions this time around. I met/shook hands with/got an autograph from Jordan Mechner, creator of the Prince of Persia video game series (and screenwriter for the upcoming Disney/Bruckheimer Prince of Persia movie), and attended many different panel discussions including ones with the cast and crew of Family Guy, Judd Apatow, Zach Snyder, Frank Miller, and Kevin Smith with the cast/crew of Zack and Miri Make a Porno. I also went to some miscellaneous Star Wars panels and something called "Worst Cartoons Ever" which was amusing.

That's all for now I guess. I'm gonna eat some macaroni and cheese now.
