The Summer 2022 internship search has concluded!

     I will be working for Adobe as a Research Scientist intern! They liked my combination of coding and art skills, and the project will involve a combination of both.       I can look forward to the summer now, knowing that I will be working for an amazing company and will be taken care of financially. Prayer works, promptings are real, all the good stuff. I've still got a lot of work to do. But I know I'll be fine money-wise, and Adobe is also one of my dream companies. I am exhausted, but I feel a calm sense of renewal as well, like it can be done. I hope to do incredibly well this summer and get a return offer. Even more, I hope to push my coding and animation skills to an even higher level, so I can get noticed by all sorts of top companies and have a greater spectrum of choice for what I do.      Here's the final spreadsheet. I might update with everything else as results from other companies. 73 applications, 18 rejections, 1 off...

cool quote from film dailies today

 "The key to success and creativity is iteration."  - my professor  I iterate on Houdini, so why do I never iterate on my drawings or paintings? Hmm. I think iteration is a great thing. You kinda take an educated shot in the dark, get feedback, and keep writing; keep going. With writing too. 

Got an A- on my computational creativity midterm

...Which dropped me to an A- in the class. ENOUGH screwing around. I will NOT get another A- in the rest of my master's program. Or at least not in this class.  Honestly, all things considered, a 92% isn't bad. But I need to do better. I WILL do better. I will drag my entire group up with me lol. 

When the software bug gives you a heart attack

I was listening to ICP (from the Carnival of Carnage album) and for some reason, Musi randomly decided to switch tracks to "Sanctity Within Darkness" by Graveworm.  That song starts with a long, piercing shriek. Since I wasn't expecting it to start playing, I practically jumped out of my skin. :D

Fandoms that move too fast

Pokémon and Star Wars are the main ones. Keeping up alongside everything else seems almost impossible. This is why I'm struggling to restart my Pokémon fanfic. And don't get me started on the fact that I haven't even finished the Mandalorian yet. It's hard to set aside 45 minutes! But now there are even more shows to keep up with.
