Full Sail: The End is Near

So my experience here at Full Sail is coming to a close very quickly. Here's the remaining classes I've yet to take....

Digital Publishing (current)
Interactive Media Design and Usability (current)
History of Visual Communications
Interactive Media Design Project
Portfolio Creation
Career Communications
Production Management
Psychology of Human Interaction
Digital Media Assembly (3 months)
Media and Society

Wow. That list is short. Holy crap. I'm very excited to be done here. I'm excited about learning more as I get out in the industry. I've realized that knowledge is infinite and I won't be done learning when I graduate from Full Sail. I can't wait to see what's in store for my near future.

Word,

Koolaid is NOT Kool.

Warning...this is an angry blog post! If you can't take the immense anger that will be released by these words, I suggest you stop reading right now.

So, about 2 weeks ago, I spilled red Koolaid on my laptop's keyboard. NOT KOOL AT ALL! When it happened, I quickly tried to suck the koolaid out of the keyboard with my lips. Seriously, I did, ask Lance or Becca, they were there when it happened. So after that, I turned off my laptop and let any remaining koolaid dry out for a while. When I came back to turn it on, my keyboard was toast. Dead. Done. It wouldn't work at all. I was pissed.

I took it into the Apple store to see if they could do anything for me, and they said it would be $1300 to fix it. SWEET! So, I decided that if I'm gonna have to pay $1300 to fix it, I might as well buy a brand new one for a couple hundred more. I bought a new one and two days before it gets to me, I get my broken laptop back. I turn it on and miraculously, it works! I was pumped! So since I have a functioning laptop now, I called Apple back to get a return request for the laptop that's now being sent to me. They process the request and then I just had to wait for the laptop to get to me, so I can return it and get my money back.

The day after I got my broken (but miraculously fixed) laptop back, the keys started crapping out again. My spacebar, command, and colon keys stopped working. FRICK!

So now I'm keeping the new laptop. Today, I took out the HDD and Ram from my broken laptop and put it into my new one. Terrible process...nerve-racking to say the least.

I guess that really wasn't very angry at all. I suck at being angry.

Leaving the Koolaid to the kids,

Day 10: Admit Defeat

Yeah, so it turns out that I completely missed blogging yesterday, therefore, blogging for 30 days straight is extremely impossible. Unless your Brighten Photography, then it's extremely possible.
Because of this crazy school I'm at, I just don't have enough time for these shenanigans. I'm sorry to let soooooo many of you down.

Tail between my legs,

Day 9: Why are you reading this?

...I've got nothing for you today. I'm sorry.

But with much love,

Day 8: Throwback Day

Alright, these classes are kicking the crap out of me right now and I don't have much time to play around, so today is throwback day! This is from my first month here at Full Sail, a class called Design and Art Theory. We had to come up with a product and then make advertisements for that product.

I decided to make CRAP! tshirts. CRAP was something we used in class help us with composition. It stood for Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity. On the back of the shirt, I tried to illustrate each of those within each word.





My teacher was actually ecstatic and freaking out over my final project. She was telling me all about how I should copyright it and she was giving me these websites that I should go to to "patent" the idea. However, I didn't really think that they were THAT good, so I never did.

Grrrrrrrr,

Day 7: Happy Birthday Lance!

It's Lance's 21st today! So I felt that it would be a great time to take the day off of blogging...and wish him the best of wishful wishes.



happy bday buddy,

Day 6: Banksy

Since I really didn't have time to do anything besides my school work today, I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you all to one of my heroes. He goes by the name of Banksy (no one really knows his real identity) and he's a street artist from England. Here's some of his work...











Most of his work is made using stencils, but he does some other crazy street art too, like sculptures and statues, etc. Look at his site...Banksy...if you ask me, he's a genius.
