New chapter of my life here after that debacle that lasted for two weeks... we'll see how it goes then.

I wonder how long can I tolerate staying here in Las Vegas... planning to leave this fucking place shortly after I get my degree. Never was my place to start over after leaving the Navy anyway... it's just that things got shoved down my throat and had to deal with the consequences afterwards.

Anyways,

Made a couple of concept art sketches for my group project in Game Design Development... my groupmates loved it which made me happy. Though I'm thinking of redoing it with copic markers instead.

Since I'm currently unemployed at the moment, I will have more time logging my entries and doing more updates as I look for another job... but this time I'm going to look for a part-time job instead: I need to concentrate further on my studies and I need to add at least one more subject on my upcoming semesters so I would be able to graduate on time.

It will be a tight squeeze but I should be all right: time management is the KEY to this.



There are so many things that I need to straighten out.

First off, I need to get back in shape. Need to curb that soda cravings. Need to stop engorging myself. That shit is killing me slowly. Look for healthier alternative. I'm planning on talking to my yoga instructor again and discuss about me getting back into the groove of things. I LOVED practicing Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga anyway. I'm currently 210 lbs. I want to be around 160.

Second is to devote more time to practicing whatever I need to practice. My Art Director liked the fact that I've been attending more and more art sessions and even sitting on some of his art classes. Thing is, not only I need to hone my traditional art skills, I need to devote the same energy in the 3d aspects of it as well. While I'm getting the gist of using Maya software, I feel that I'm not practicing it often enough. I need to be proficient with this or it will bite me in the ass big time later.

Third is to, of course, get a part-time job. I have some money saved on top of what I'm getting from the VA's GI Bill. I need to save more in order to have something later down the road when I finally leave fucking Las Vegas. I may have to use my 401K money just to act as a buffer.
