How am I like the only person in the world that gets sick in the first few weeks of summer? Not like little sick, like week long sick, eyes burning, phlem-choking sick. I hope by tomorrow or Tues I'm better. I think I'm on the up shot of this but I start the new job on Tues and it would be nice to start while I'm not sick. It hurts to look at the monitor for too long so I haven't been posting a lot. The newest thing with me is I'm compiling my XNA Tutorials, finishing 3 more, and publishing them ......
I think this next year is going to be big for me for many reasons. First, I'm graduating which, obviously, is probably my biggest achievement in the next year. This last semester I was freaking out about grades but I ended up with an A, A-, B, B, B- so I'm pumped about that. Next, I'm speaking in Sept and Oct in Minneapolis about HLSL and shaders. I'm super excited to talk about HLSL and introductions to shaders. The Sept talk will be about the anatomy of a shader and how it works with your GPU. ......
Finally! I'm back to post about finishing school and such. Finals were fine except I'm pretty sure my Calc grade is going to suck. As long as I pass... The reason I haven't been posting to this blog every 5 seconds is that....I've become addicted to WoW unfortunately. I'm going to play it during the summer but hopefully I'll also get programming things done. Related to programming things, since I have my desktop back I took Friday to organize my folders, clear up space, (un)install items, and just ......
So I already typed this whole post and then hit the back button because I'm an idiot and now need to retype it. After tomorrow, the school year will be pretty much over except for finals, which I'm not freaking out about. Hopefully I'll get some decent grades for this semester. I feel like I've done tons of work this semester and none of it was enough, like I need to do more. I start my new job on May 27th so that gives me a few weeks to work on a new DirectX demo as well as re-understand VB a bit. ......
HOORAY! I got the job at this programming place for the summer! I'll be making almost double the pay I would be making at where I normally work. Although I do have to commute about 30 min each way to get there but it should be worth it. I'll be working with Visual Basic .NET and I believe ASP although I'm not positive.
Oh, and GTA4 still rocks.
