150 Posts / School on Thursdays

It was brought to my attention a while ago that I never did anything special or even acknowledge when I hit 100 posts. Well, in an attempt to make up for that, this is my special double-sized 150th post.

OK, it's not really double-sized. It's just another regular post, but I am at least acknowledging it this time. Now onto the actual post.

I love my Thursday classes this quarter. This is the first week of the new quarter, and when I found out I would be taking three classes in one day, which meant I would have to be at school from 8 AM to 9:20 PM, I was NOT looking forward to it. Granted, I was looking forward to the individual classes, but all at once?! Not so much. However, after going to each, I can genuinely say I've very excited about Thursdays this quarter.

First up is Compositing, which is where we are going to take separate elements - such as film, green screen footage, 3D models, special effects - and combine them into a single composition. This is going to be a fun class. Next up is Intermediate Motion Graphics, which focuses on the artistic and design side of creating things such as title sequences as well as all the fancy flourishes and visual elements used in things like commercials. Finally, there's 3D Visual Effects, which deals with recreating the science - such as collisions, fluids, particles, etc. - of real life in a 3D scene. All in all, I expect to do a lot of fun stuff.

Of course, I can already tell that each is going to have a lot of work. That means an exponential amount of homework due on the same day. So, I may be excited right now, but ask me again in a few weeks when the homework catches up with me; I may not be so excited then.

So, there you have it; my special double-sized 150th post. Or not. Oh, well. Here's to another 150. Thanks for reading.
