I'm not dead! (crossposted from LJ)
Note: I've commented here recently, but I've been pretty silent on LJ for a while, so the comments about not being dead are mostly for the benefit of my LJ flist. I'm crossposting for convenience.)

Finished first semester back at school, and should be getting good grades (looks like all A's; that would be more impressive if it weren't all introductory classes and prerequisites at a community college and if I hadn't already had some graduate education, but there it is). I realized I haven't updated in some time, and a quick check showed that it's been nine weeks. That's part of March, all of April, and most of May. So, yeah. I'm not dead.

It also occurs to me that I haven't talked much about school, including what I'm studying. I'm going for an Associate's Degree in Digital and Film Animation. (Whether that's what I end up actually doing remains to be seen, but right now that's the plan.) I made enough of an impression on one of my teachers that he offered me an internship at a local upstart film production company--it's a very new company--they haven't made anything yet, don't have an office yet, no website yet, but they're working on all of that, and I get to help. For my trouble, I get class credit and something to put on my resume, and I will also probably get to establish a number of contacts that could prove helpful.

I could go into detail about the classes I've taken so far, but that would make for a really long post that you'd probably find boring as hell. The interesting classes, the ones that will determine if I really do want to do animation, are all upcoming.

I will be taking classes over the summer--in addition to the internship, I've got an art class and then another on Adobe Illustrator. These are also introductory classes, and required for the degree I'm pursuing.

Nine weeks, and that's about all I can think of to say.
