Orange Juice

When your Orange Juice in your fridge expires the week that you graduate, that's when things start getting scary.

Almost too scary.

Oh, and I guess I dislocated my knee cap at the Senior Banquet. The POP I heard was my knee cap coming out of where it is supposed to be. And later that night when I heard another noise coming from my knee that floored me because of the pain, that was my knee cap going back into the joint. It pretty much sprained every thing that could be sprained next to me knee. And it bruised my bone. Ouch. It's still sore, but I can walk on it without a brace and crutches, and it's tons better that before.

Spring break was okay. It was good to be home, even thugh I had to go to the doctor 3 times and get an MRI cuz of the ol' Thriller injury.... I got some stuff done on thesis. Not as much as I hoped, but I got some done, which is good. Now it's time to lock and load. Take no prisoners. Hide you women and children. Put on your Sunday best kids:

We're going to Sears.

Spring Break

Well, a lot has happened since the last blog. I went to the Senior Banquet and it was so damn fun. I haven't had that much fun in a while, it was a blast. We had an animation table and everything. At the end of the night, the animation gang had a whole dance floor to ourselves, and the DJ was playing all 80's songs. He played Ice Ice Baby and I totally rocked out, and then I requested Thriller. Sooo much fun. We were all doing the thriller. At the end of the song, I went out with a bang... literally. My knee gave out and I fell over lol Too much dancing for me. On monday it was really swollen and hurtin so I had to go to the ER to get it looked at. Fun stuff. So now I'm in a knee brace and crutches.... all thanks to the Thriller. Oh well, it was still fun. You can see a picture of me doing the thriller in my picture album a few moments before it all happened.

And now tomorrow I go home for a week for spring break. I hopefully will be able to get some stuff done while I'm there, mostly backgrounds for my game. It should be nice though.

Time is still a tickin'.

Thesis

Thesis has official kicked into high gear. Every waking moment is now dedicated to Thesis. So if you don't see me for the next month, you'll know what I'm doing. So much for having fun at the end of college. There just isn't any time.

And I'm still scared to death.

But I will finish.

I will.

I must.

Scared

Well, last night I think it finally hit me. I was just lying in bed thinking for over 2 hours about it: It's almost over.

I have never been so scared in my entire life.

Shy Guy

I was always kinda shy growing up. Not super super shy or anything, but I was shy. I mean, I had lots of friends and everything, but I think it just took me a little bit... I dunno. I also went to an all guys high school, which was cool for many reasons, but was also bad for obvious reasons. It probably wasn't until junior or senior year in high school that I finally wasn't too shy anymore. College has been really cool, and here it is, senior year, and I thought I wasn't shy at all anymore. I mean, I can wear my Goofy hat and ears to school just because the hat is green and totally not care. I can even make faces at Disneyland on Splash Mountain or make funny gestures for the drop camera just for the sake of making people laugh.

But here I am, a senior in college, and I'm shy.

Like I said before, have you ever heard the perfect song that sums up how you feel at that point in time perfectly? That happened to me today. The song's called Let Go by Frou Frou.

drink up, baby down
mmm, are you in or are you out
leave your things behind
'cause it's all going off without you
excuse me, too busy you're writing your tragedy
these mishaps
you bubble wrap
when you've no idea what you're like

so let go, jump in
oh well, whatcha waiting for
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown
so let go, just get in
oh, it's so amazing here
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown

it gains the more it gives
and then it rises with the fall
so hand me that remote
can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow

such boundless pleasure
we've no time for later now
you can't await your own arrival
you've 20 seconds to comply

so let go, jump in
oh well, whatcha waiting for
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown
so let go, just get in
oh, it's so amazing here
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown

San Diego Zoo!

Oh man! Just got back from the Zoo trip. What a blast! I had such a good time. Mike, Andrew, Trey, and I drove down and got there around 2:00 on friday and everyone else got there around around 6ish. Friday night was a blast, everyone (minus Andrew and Trey) went bar-hoppin and we ended up at some guys party. It was really fun and stupid, but it was just good to go out, hang with friends in a new place. I love adventures, and all the U-Turns made this a pretty damn good one.

Today, after a looooong night (I barely got any sleep at all) we all got up early and went to the Zoo. Stopped on the way, got some doughnuts (ugh, and whole milk by accident.... *puke*) and after some "creative" driving, we made it to the zoo! It started out slow, we were all a little tired and cranky at the beginning, but soon we all started having a really good time. I think everyone had a great time, so that was awesome. We saw some really cool animals, got in some great quality drawing time and just had fun. I really liked hanging out with everyone, since we never really have a chance to do so outside of class (with this many people anyway) so that was a blast. So we were there until it closed (5:00pm) and then we headed back. The ride home was nice. We were all so tired, both sleepy tired and fatigued from walking tired that in order to stay awake, Andrew, Mike and I were singing 80's songs. I think Trey was asleep, but it doesn't matter since I was having so much fun. You know you have great friends when you can let all your gaurds and inhibitions down and sing "I just died in your arms tonight" at the top of your lungs in your highest pitched voice. So much fun, damn. We then stopped at Long Beach, grabbed some Chinese food, parted ways with the gals and headed home. One of the most fun weekends I've had in a long time.

Kinda Sick

Man, I think I have a cold. It might be allergies, but I have no idea. It's one of those things where overall I fell fine, except for the fact my right nostril is completely clogged. Fun stuff. I just better be better by friday, when we go to the ZOO! Woohoo, it's gonna be so awesome.

Lets see, what else. I guess the animation lab flooded over the weekend, so now it smells like crap in there. I went to TA and an hour into the class, we were kicked out. Apparently we weren't supposed to be in there. Now I got a clogged nose and a lungfull of spores. Fun stuff.

It better not rain tomorrow... I have to walk 2 blocks to my internship because of our new parking spaces, and I really don't want to walk in the rain. I don't even own an umbrella.

Thesis is coming along slowly but surely. I have to make 2 more levels and 2 more bosses. Not really too bad, but then I have the artwork to do as well. I sure hope it all comes together. It will, but I sure hope it does...

I could use some gollashes. And a hug.
