College. :D

Journal Entry: Sun Sep 6, 2009, 1:38 PM
  • Mood: Overwhelmed
  • Listening to: Spotify
  • Reading: Several game design blogs at once.
  • Watching: Psych Season 4
  • Playing: The game of packing your stuff for college.
  • Eating: ... Oh yeah. I forgot about that.
  • Drinking: Australian Root Beer.



So, in the end, I was very accurate in my predictions. I thought that if I got it, it would be close.
I got in, and it was close.
I got in by exactly zero points. Half a grade lower in any subject and I wouldn't have.

I'm going to Carlow IT, somewhere in the South East of Ireland, and doing Computer Games Development for the next four years. Hurrah!

Thanks everyone for your support in the last, oh, four months or so. I swear, I might have died if there weren't so many nice people around telling me I'd do fine. ~pYrO1v1aniac, =AglioPh0bia, ~Matthaias, I'm looking at you.

Now, off to college. (I'm leaving home tomorrow!)



"The infinite possibilities each day holds should stagger the mind. The sheer number of experiences I could have is uncountable, breathtaking, and I'm sitting here refreshing my inbox. We live trapped in loops, reliving a few days over and over, and we envision only a handful of paths laid out ahead of us. We see the same things every day, we respond the same way, we think the same thoughts, each day a slight variation on the last, every moment smoothly following the gentle curves of societal norms. We act like if we just get through today, our dreams will come back to us.

And no, I don't have all the answers. I don't know how to jolt myself into seeing what each moment could become. But I do know one thing: the solution doesn't involve watering down my every little idea and creative impulse for the sake of every day easing my fit into a mould. It doesn't involve tempering my life to better fit someone's expectations. It doesn't involve constantly holding back for fear of shaking things up."

Randall Munroe




"What if everything that you see, is more than what you see? The person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it or accept that there is more to the world that you think. Perhaps it is really a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things."

Shigeru Miyamoto
