Hello all. To just clear up on what I meant in my last post, I’m not going to stop blogging, I’m just thinking of moving my blog to either sub-domain of urbanroxy, or creating a whole other domain for it, so when I’m ready to start my online clothing line, I can use urbanroxy.com for it instead. No worries, I love blogging way too much to just stop it. =)

As you all can see, I have chosen yet ANOTHER theme, I like this one a lot though. It just screams my style and if you don’t like it, that’s TO BAD! =P Haha, I’m joking, but seriously this is my look and I like it a lot. And I don’t know about you, but it’s really easy on eyes, something that most people usually cannot get right on their websites. So I’m happy.

Well, I’ve been uber busy this past week/weekend. I got an email from Michelle (Desgin4Dot) and she has another project for me to do. So I will be working on that, while also working on some projects I have going on with Surpass Hosting. Wah, I love my job, you have no idea how many times I have stressed this out to people. =) Well it’s about to 9:30 and I want to go to sleep early, since lately I’ve been really tired in work and have been drinking coffee, mochas, and the like at work and Kayla (my boss…sort of) says she is going to buy me a mug…lmao! I’ve never usually been a heavy coffee drinker…but oh well.

EDIT// I changed the theme again! Gawd help me. I liked this one too. Oh well, I’ll stick with this one, so people will appreciate it more. =P

I’m currently working on my first project/test with Design 4 Dot. They’re the design company I was talking about in my last blog. Right now I’m just taking a little break, as I have been staring at HTML coding for an hour now. I’m trying to get the content to look a certain way and it is not coming out, but I know that if I take a little break, I’ll figure it out once I go back to it.

So I called Bright House Networks today and talked with the lady at Human Resources. She scheduled a phone interview with me for Thursday morning. You do not know how excited I am! It would be really great if I can get this as a steady job and then have the D4D as a on-call job, which from what the lady has talked to me about, sounds like it. So, it should be OK. I still have my meeting with her tomorrow, and will be sure to ask her, just in case.

My best friend Dustin, who is currently in the Navy, is coming home again in November! Although I talk to him on the phone a lot, it just isn’t the same. Another good thing is he is coming back just in time for his 21st birthday, so that will be fun. I have to cherish these moments because, God forbid, they can send him to war at anytime. He is one of my and currently only best friend! He’s the best and I can’t wait till he is back home!

Today I went to Full Sail for their ‘Behind the Scenes Tour’. Basically, it’s an open house to all visitors, students and family. They hold this event once a month and talk about not only the program prospective students are interested in, but also all of their programs and events.

I just have to say; this school is amazing! Everything they own is state-of-the-art. The students, teachers, and staff are all very down-to-earth people with a passion for this industry. This school has everything any undergraduate to even graduate could want and then some. The film department just got me a little to over excited when we visited all the rooms with equipment after equipment. I felt like running over to the cameras and playing with them! And, oh my gawd, their sound editing systems were HUGE! Bigger then what I’ve seen in a recording studio, it was crazy! They also showed us the many graduates and their accomplishments through out the years, and I have to say mostly everything you see out there has at least one Full Sail graduate on board. I love it!

Of course, where there is happiness, sadness is always at toe. Finally we get to the end of the tour, where we are able to meet with admission and financial aid representatives and faculty. Their film department in the span of 21 months comes out to be a whomping $69,175.00 dollars! That’s $23,025.00 dollars every 7 months. My mother, who accompanied me on this event, jaw dropped when we were told this. I mean, I knew it was expensive but not THIS expensive. Do you know how many loans I would/will need to take out for this? I’d be in debt before I could even start my life. A year and nine months till I’d graduate and then six to seven months later, I’d have to start paying my dues.

And even after all of this has been said and done, I am still interested in going to this school! Woe is me. =(

Sadly, I did not get the job as Westgate. The man called me back and told me that at that time they really needed someone with expert skills in Flash and action-scripting. I’m not going to lie, I SUCK in Flash, but I do know the program, since I had to make a mock company website using Flash and made a menu made purely with action-script, but I guess it wasn’t good enough for them. My hopes of finding a well off job in web design are sinking fast and I feel that I should just stick to freelancing and find a part-time job doing something else. In the end, I need money, no matter how I get it. (OK so it DOES matter how I get, if you get my drift…ha ha)

So, for the rest of this week, I will be trying to find as many grants, loans, and scholarships I can find and fill out an application for them. God only knows I will need them.
