[1734] Carpe Diem

Works been pretty good. considering how bright it is all the time. And that a million people are walking by all day.. but... i think its ok... i wish i was in the engineering department. the lights are dimmed and all the noisey departments are on the other side of the office. Probably due to the fact that a handful of those guys are probably on the autistic spectrum. in fact i would bet money 80% if them have aspergers. Thats why i think i belong over there. the marketing department is RIGHT next to us. they're talking constantly.. on the phone and to each other. and walking to and from the lunch room... back and forth... all day. but. its ok... i hope.

it has to be. because we need the money to save up for a house. and we need a house to have a baby. and we need a baby. and we also need money so i can go back to school and i would like to have an AA before a baby. not a necessity but it really should be. i always pride myself in the fact that i am self taught in web development... but. its beginning to not be enough. not if i want to move up any time soon. i know i just started but i see how relaxed people get in their jobs. i don't want to settle for ok. i want to keep moving up.

I've been looking at SMCC. Art institute of LA is in Santa Monica (in the activision lot actually).. and they have a great game programming program. but i cant afford it. santa monica is pretty much the center of the gaming business world. so i figured SMCC is the next best choice. plus its the only junior college that actually acknowledges gaming as a degree and has a pretty cool program.. the academy of entertainment and technology. So I am going to take a few courses there.

I'm going to take

CIS 3 - Introduction to Computer Science

CIS 54 - Web Development & Scripting

CS 9A - Technical Project Managment I

and maybe CS 17 - Assemly Language Project

Fall Semester starts in August and September. So I have a while to think about it... I'm thinking I might by the books now tho. And study during my lunch breaks. And I can use the side money I'm getting from the Autism Speaks freelance to pay for it. Although.. I'd rather pay for other things. like well.. too many things to list. grr.
