Big News!

Today, I got accepted to the Indiana University School of Infomatics where I can pursue a master's degree in Human Computer Interaction Design. Sounds like a long string of rather impressive words? That's because it is! I've very excited about this. I've been waiting for the past two months to hear back, and it's finally happened.

That means, I should be hearing from Carnegie Mellon in the very near future. Even though Carnegie Mellon is a more prestigious university, I honestly think I would prefer to go to Indiana. What it really comes down to, however, is the almighty dollar. It really depends on which option would be more economically feasible. So I'm holding out to see what CM is going to offer me before I commit.

So, I'm really excited about that.

Also, I've been trying to work on Captain Numbskull lately. Last semester, I spent a great deal of time working on sketches and mock-up layouts. I lost that notebook. So, I've been redrawing all my sketches. I need to do this to see where it is that I'm going. Honestly, this is the hard part. It goes hand-in-hand with the writing. Then I need to transfer those sketches/notes into real pencils. Then the inking and coloring is a cinch. It's coming along...

However, if you have seen my original notebook (I think it was a black UL notebook), please let me know.

So, that's all for now.
