I feel like writing another journal, not a long one, or about anything in particular, but just because I can.

The past few weeks have been pretty restful. I haven't submitted much still, but it's nice to be at leisure for once. I mean, really, I couldn't have guessed that my first year of college would take up so much time.

Of course, I enjoy college, it's much better than High School (well, except that it takes more time and costs alot). This whole year was learning programs and preparing a portfolio to be accepted into either the 3D track or web/print design for the next three years. I submitted my portfolio a couple weeks ago and got it back the following Monday... there isn't much to say, I got accepted to the 3D track, so that's what I'll be studying.

I like 3D animation to a certain extent, it's pretty nice. Once everything is modeled, there's just the matter of animating it. I guess some people might see that as lazy, but it's because 3D animation can be done in such a way that striving for proper camera angles and timing and everything else makes it that much more of a challenge to accomplish. Of course, I'm not even close to their yet, I barely got to fiddle in Cinema 4D for one of the projects in my digital imaging class, it won't be till this Fall Semester that I'm dunked into the world of Maya and start to get modeled into a proper modeler (model, instead of molded, get it?)

Right, but that's in Fall, and I have one summer class that starts in July. So, I'm really just going to relax as much as I can till then. Of all things at this moment in time, I'm looking forward to meeting Amber.

If things go well when she and I arrange a time to talk to her parents again, I should be able to get another ticket soon to visit her after her semester ends. And, I really do hope things go well, I'm counting on her parents letting me sleep on the couch or something... cause, well, I'm a college kid, I can't afford a dorm room let alone a hotel for a week. Must depend on the kindness of her family, but even if they don't let me, I will find a way to meet her. She's very important to me (as can be seen in what fills up most of my gallery this year... heh heh, so much love).

I know I've said before, but I'll say it again: please pray for us. I know very well that meeting someone that you've talked to on the internet, it can be a very unpredictable experience; rather, you don't really know how you'll feel about a person till you meet them. I do love her though, very much so, and I can't imagine my life without her, but it's because I love her that I pay attention to such a possibility. No worries, I'm not thinking negatively, I have it in my highest hopes and dreams that the moment I step off that plane that I'll see the one I'm going to marry some day. Of course, if not, I still want her to be a part of my life.

So, that's what has been going on, and what will go on. I'm in college, I'm getting my education, and I'm going to work hard as I can. Amber, she's made this semester of college and the year of 2009 a joy. We've had some ups and downs so far I'll admit, but I know this to happen with all couples at some time, and it's because each event brings us closer that I feel we'll have a life together.

On to other stuff, I have quite a lot I want to do this summer, and we shall see how much I get accomplished before my 3D shackles are returned to my wrists till Winter. *snickers*

Onward!
