February is Here At Last

January was one stressful and busy month.  I've enjoyed the last of my vacation back up home, said some goodbyes, moved back over here, settled in, been on a few interviews (one incredibly promising), took a few actionscript tests, got lost in Jersey a few times, been down to Philly more times than I wanted for a check that the HR person lost, and became acquainted with my new life.

And yet, through it all, I can't help but think that I've joined in something that already has a predetermined click.  I thought about blogging a few times through the past week and a half (2... weeks? I don't remember), but then I thought, who would really care?  Who is actually interested in my day to day travels besides my mom?  I would say Andrew, but he's here with me.  And that's not to say that I need people to care.  I could live like a hermit and be fine, but it just seems like I'm Pluto, now trying so hard to be apart of something that I'm not, and never will be.  I would love to keep in contact with everybody, but I don't think its really the same for everybody else.  They got their peeps, and that's cool with me.

The interview with Splinter Tech went extremely well.  I actually interviewed with their parent company, Lock Heed Martin, which, SOMEHOW, my dad had heard of.  Not sweating bullets over it, but it does make me a little nervous when he doesn't mention some of his connections.  I was given the opportunity to look at the two tests they had, one for an actionscript enthusiast who bleeds it, and another for an animator who knew actionscript.  I took the animator one.  I read the questions for the first one and my head exploded.  Hopefully I'll hear something from them later this week, if the weather lets them finish all of their interviews.  If not, I just have to keep plugging away.

I also picked back up Flash for the first time since graduation.  I needed the break, but now it's time to get back into the fray.  I actually wanted to go back to Flash.  A little disturbing to me that I felt that way. I had always hated this program and cursed it out when it had done Flash-like things.  But now it's the key to the life I want right now, and I'm okay on using and abusing it, like it had done to me throughout school.

Speaking of which.  Back to storyboards!  Take care everybody and stay safe in this huge snow storm that stretches from Texas to Maine!  Hopefully, it won't do anything here.
