I finished my VCD final projects today. I actually had them done last week, but I was procrastinating on writing a cover letter/objective for my resume because, well, I didn't want to. So I kept waiting on it and went to class today. Turns out, we're not getting our third project on account of class being cancelled on Monday. Awesome.
Instead of heading straight home from class, since I had nothing to do, I stuck around and helped a few people out with their projects. I wasn't struggling at all with the programs or anything like that, so I had no problem helping people out. Sticking around was a good idea because I got to bullshit about Macs vs. PCs and how the JMC department is now requiring all incoming freshman to have a Mac, which is such bullshit.
BUT! The instructor said he's helping to put together a new cirriculum for JMC (if I'm remembering this correctly, that is!) that's similar to what we'd learned in the VCD class this semester. Like learning the programs in the first class, doing projects in the next one, ectera. The reason I'm mentioning this? He asked if he could show my final projects to the director as examples of things that can be done with the programs we used and to 'get my name out there'. I said absolutely and then realized that I didn't want just the photo gallery with my art shown as an example. So I made up a second photo gallery with some of my photos from the drive to Seattle a few years ago.
I tried some different things with that one, too. A little more 'out of the box' with the title at the top and the thumbtacks on the images actually show up when you click on an image, so you know which one you're viewing. I wanted it to be the opposite way, with all the thumbtacks visible and when you clicked on an image, the tack on that specific image would disappear. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out why it wasn't doing it correctly, so I saved myself the hassle and just did it the other way.
SO. That's exciting.
In other news, I think once the rest of the money I'm waiting on falls into place, we should be good. I'll get a paycheck either next week or the week after that'll catch up on the rest of this month's rent and I might have a few bucks straggling at the beginning of January. BUT, hopefully my landlord will be happy and we'll have enough from our financial aid to pay up to May (when we get our money next).
If I'm really lucky, the bookstore will keep me on permanently. I don't expect it, but I know I should have a job through January at the very least. Plus, lots of things on campus come open with a new semester and they're opening the library 24/7, so maybe they'll be hiring for that, as well!
Some commission stuff I'm working on. Dreadfully exciting, I know.
I also changed my journal layout to something that reminds me of TRON. I always forget how much I love black + cyan.
