The quest continues! Current quest status:

Get Job as a Video Game Programmer! (Incomplete)
Get Website (Complete!)
Make Business Cards (Incomplete!)
Stalk... err, research some people for GDC (Pending)
Finish up polish on essays for GDC Student Scholarship (COMPLETE)

So after Karate this morning I've been coding until about. Now, and I'll be coding some more with some breaks for eating a three hour class which is, yeah more coding. On the plus side that class has a big quarter long project in which I will be making another video game, boo yah. If it becomes something more I'll post about it here. 'Sides that, my intrepid quest to become a game programmer continues as I finished up my essay to enter a scholarship contest whose prize involves being paired with a mentor for GDC. That would be the ultimate networking and awesometastic oppurtunity so I put a lot of effort into the essays. Cross your fingers non existent readers! Must be getting back to coding, for it is a harsh mistress and only allowed me a break to let the lashes heal JUST enough to stop being numb and allow for more pain later. Below is a character sheet changelog.
