im-no-superman

School’s getting into full swing and it’s really getting me stoked.  Is it weird that I’m making far more work for myself out of the extraordinarily simple assignments we’ve received so far?  I just.. I want to get into the habit of staying late, going early and doing far more than the professors ask, as that’s the only way I’m going to stay ahead of the class.  Or the only way I’ll get above an eighty in programming;  weird.  I’ve never been the kid who does extra work, who stayed late, studied or put his all into it.  High marks have always just come naturally to me (excluding NSCAD, but that doesn’t count).. but I don’t want that anymore.  I want to be the kid that tries his hardest and everyone likes and actually succeeds and has a foot in-front of everyone else.  I’ll be in a graduating class of maybe.. ten or eleven, depending on how many people actually make it that far, and I really want to be able to tell studios that I’m worth hiring over them.  It’s weird because Alex isn’t feeling that at all, but I’m finding it easier to break away from him to go do my own thing recently.  I can see him being a bad influence at some points, though.

Overall, though?  My program kicks ass.  I think I’m really going to dig doing a lot of what we’re going to be doing.  My Intro Design class has already spawned some great discussions and Darren (read: prof) is a co-founder of Northern Geeks and (I believe) is on a podcast.  I may invite him as a guest onto one of ours sometime, as he’s by far my favourite guy at the school.  And the people in my class are not as bad as I had originally thought.  A couple of them are pretty cool and whatnot;  one is even totally keen on helping set up the Smash Bros. tournament.  Keen, keen, keen.  Also?  I have to go paint-balling with my “Interpersonal Communications” class tomorrow.  That’ll be.. interesting.

Also?  Scrubs is still absolutely hilarious.

    You’re totally my favorite Bryan. Scratch that. You’re just my favorite, period. I can’t keep from thinking about how happy/proud I am that you’re liking school so much and doing well in what you like to do.

    Also, sketches are always win.

    Especially space helmets.
