Eternal Sunshine

An educational journey through the Web Design world.

Well it’s official. I’m not taking any classes this Summer. Mostly because the offerings are pathetic. Not a single thing that will either take care of a needed credit, or just anything I want to take in general. So this summer shall be my own way of learning. Woot!!

I’m working out a mental list of everything I want to accomplish by summer’s end. Some are personal, some educational, but all things to keep my busy and the brain working. I give this until June 1st, then I’ll just be playing video games and catching up on my sleep.

In no particular order I give you:

Things to Accomplish Summer 2008

• Re-write Resume
• Get DisasterDesigns completed and online
• Research possible college options for future bachelor degree finishing
• Write/Call MSU regarding what I would need to do to finish my Psych degree
• Take on a few freelance jobs
• Work on the Marty/Me book project that is collecting layer upon layer of dust
• Read. Read. Read.
• Learn ASP.NET
• Refine Flash skills
• Create no less than 5 CSS templates for use with sites
• Improve layout technique and design in Photoshop
• Learn. Learn. Learn.
• Eat better, move more
• Organize files on computer more efficiently
• Start an IRA
• Save $. Save. Save. Save.
• Start looking for companies to potentially apply with in the area and out of state
• Write daily entries here
• Sell things I don’t need.
• Start creating a more professional wardrobe. Comfortable but office appropriate.
• Plan out for a better financial year
• Relax and enjoy the sunshine

I’ll likely add to and subtract from this but at the moment that’s a little window into the things I want to accomplish with my ’semester off’.

Oh yeah, and I’ll be working full time as always. I just can’t get enough of doing something all the time. I am a sick, sick puppy.

Mid Semester and I haven’t written a word since it began, sad isn’t it.

I just finished my very first full Flash game, which I’ll post (maybe) after I do some finalization type things to it.

My website is up for my advanced web development class, but it’s nothing spectacular do to the constraints given in general for the assignments.

If there is anyone interested in seeing that it is located here.

That’s about all this girl’s got right now. Too busy with work and life in general to really have been into anything else. Haven’t really even had time to poke around my usual Design blog haunts…depressing really.

Ah, another afternoon of Digg-ing.

This should be helpful for my Flash Game Design Class. Now if only that pesky homework would get finished on its own so that I could play with all these ideas…
