Excitement is building ...

So here it is, 8 more days before school starts, and the excitment is building. I am so excited, I made a slight booboo while preparing dinner this morning (crockpotting it). I pulled out a frozen beef brisket, and dropped it in the crockpot with some cabbage. I know I looked all over the brisket and the in the packaging and could not find the spice pouch, so I figured I didn't get one because it was sold as a "beef" brisket and not a "corned beef" brisket. Well ... we just got home from work and I am spooning out the cabbage and the meat, when lo and behold, there was the spice pouch. Meh, I added my own spices, so it will taste good anyway.

Some things that are adding to my excitement as we get closer to my school start date are the job listings online. Checking out the Game Developer adds places such as Disney and NVIDIA are hiring. There are jobs all over the US, and there are even a lot that are freelance. I haven't given freelance much thought, but it has it possibilities.

Another thing that is getting my excitement levels up are the classes I will get to take. Here is a list of all of the ones I need to take for my major:

Even if I can't make it as a Game Designer, with courses such as Digital Illustration and 3D Modeling, I should be able to get other jobs as well. I have never felt so many possibilities were open to me.

Anyhoo ... in the days to come I plan on posting some of the jobs I have found listed, and maybe even a picture or two of this and that. So ...

See ya around!!!
