I explained a lot of my day in high school in my new blog that's being written by Tyler and I as co-editors. In fact, you can check out the new blog here. Anyways, I'll just very briefly run through my day today.
It turns out that during my initial meeting with the vice principal I had selected my courses. The one little thing that bugs me is that my past self had selected Fine Arts 8 over Band 8 (or it might have been an accident, I don't know how I could have made that choice). Anyways, I got my home room, locker, agenda, and I'm all ready and set for the next epic five years of my life.
So I've been fiddling around with Fireworks more than Photoshop lately and I've decided to preview my latest piece of art here on my blog (as I always do). This time I've created this desktop wallpaper in celebration of my enrolment at Alpha Secondary.
I'm willing to create more school themed desktop wallpapers (I know, I'm such a traitor) for other people (more specifically, my friends from Vancouver Technical over in Vancouver) that I know, but I'm getting tired of just making boring wallpapers. It's time to step it up a notch and bring in the dynamic. The next piece of original artwork here will be great. I'm going to commit way more time to it than most projects.
Talking Of Projects
In the light of projects, I've decided to give a few updates on the projects I'm currently working on. It turns out that we will not be making a 3D Settlers of Catan board, but instead just a simple 2D one (but when you think about it, life itself is 3D). The recreation of the board game is currently in beta, but the game is fully playable as of now. We just got some wood the other day, so we'll be making the sea port frames soon and permanent hexes with better cards and number chips (I wouldn't be surprised if nobody understood this, because I don't know any friends who play Settlers of Catan).
The troll story site has been officially deemed closed and shut down for further work. I found out it would be way to hard to work on the site alone while guaranteeing one new story every week. So I shut it down. It wasn't a very elaborate or well laid out plan anyways.
The rabbit hutch and smoke house are in the VERY distant future. It doesn't look like it will be any time soon when we actually manage to find time together to build the hutch. And the rabbit hutch would be further down in the priority list, so the smoke house won't even come until we get the rabbit hutch finished.
Custom typography desktop wallpaper sounds like it won't be happening. But who knows? I may just do it in my spare time.
Online book? I left it on a computer in Michigan. I'm currently asking my cousin, Lina, to send the folder to me. I haven't written it in a while, but if looks like the book will still be published online as a work-in-progress site. Sort of like a blog, except it's a book.
I've also got a very long term project going on. I have arranged for a group of my techy (shouldn't use that word anymore) friends to start learning a specific skill outside of basic HTML and CSS. For example, they can learn PHP (which would be extremely useful), or just do design. I don't care. As long as they know one unique skill. Over the months, I will try to "collect" more people. In hopefully what will be one full year, I will have enough knowledge and experience in the group to create a small company.
Content With Life
I am very content with life. Incredibly content and happy with my life right now. I'm headed in the right track, as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to set things right in life. I brushed some dirt off my grave with a few friends, so I'm also pretty satisfied with my life. Hopefully I'll start working out to get in good shape. I'm also looking to try and sleep earlier, as sleep always does people good.
Today I am a 9. I have no bad things lurking on my mind and I can perfectly say I would be happy to live in this time frame of life. Looks like things are going really well for me. Really well.
