One month left, oh my!

Another installment by me, for whoever is reading this :)

So, life for me is going to change drastically after the next 4 and a half weeks. I will be graduating, and going out into the *ahem* "real world".

Future plans? Well, I'm already starting to find a job in the industry, but man is it ever hard to find a job that doesn't either 1: require a University degree and/or 2: require 3-5 or 5+ years of experience.

Well, how are you to get 3-5 or 5+ years of experience when every job requires that amount of experience?!

In any case....I've applied to a company called KineticIS here in the Sudbury region (Copper Cliff, actually). They deal with financial application development. Not really "I'm making games!" material, but hopefully it will get me that much needed work experience. We will see.

On the school side of things, I firmly believe I've passed one course with a C (hopefully), and the rest of the courses I'm doing fairly well in. I also have the highest GPA in my class, so that's a bonus.

Game Development with XNA Game Studio 2.0 is ridiculously easy, and a lot of fun!

Onto the Internet. Oh the Internet and all the wonderful treasures you hold. One of which I found yesterday!

I stumbled (yes, the Stumble application, not the figure of speech) onto www.onesentence.org . Wow. What a site. I've actually submitted a small "story" of my own and hopefully it gets accepted. Look for it in the next few days. I won't tell you the pen name, but for those of you who REALLY know me and know everything that's been going on with me, you might pick this one up. It has a keyword in it ;)

Life news...I'm probably buying my dad's car, and he's taking my late-grandfather's truck. That's how it should pan out. Other life news...Nothing much really. I want College to be over, because I'm getting very tired of going into class all the time and doing work that I don't get paid for.

To be quite honest, there probably are some things I want to say to this blog, mainly just to simply say what they are, but because of people who might inadvertently read things into what I say, or read things that I'd rather not have them hear, I keep them to myself and my mind.

Have you ever really realized how much you ponder on things, and how many times you can't say those things that you think on so much for fear of someone either finding out, or taking it the wrong way?

I don't know because I'm not at that stage, but I wonder if, with all the things that we keep in our minds, if that's one of the reasons senility disappears. We cover so many things in our lives from what people might hear or think that we start disillusioning ourselves to what is really going on and by the end of our lives we really don't have a clue what to think anymore.

Interesting food for thought.

In any case, I'm going since I really have nothing more to say, or rather, I have things to say that you all can't read.

Cheers,

Clay
