February? Gone.

I'm sitting on an airplane on my way to GDC right this very second.

Somehow February seemed to go by in a blink of an eye -- maybe that's because those few days missing can make that much of a difference.

A lot of great things happened this month. Mountain made it through Alpha and has a fully playable game from start to finish completed. A lot of work has to be done still, but it's in a good state and is on its way to something greater. Many of the other senior projects are also looking great, and I'm excited to see them move towards completion. The reality of the closing chapter in my life is really setting in, and it's daunting/exciting/crazyridiculousscary.

I've put together most of my portfolio website. 4 projects are currently live, although 2 of them still need lots of work and could use some additional images. It's difficult to balance the want to explain my experience and the game in detail with the need to be concise and marketable. I've got some more I could put up there, and as the project with Vivity Labs continues I'll be looking to put that up as well. This is a fairly slow process, I'm finding, especially on top of all of my other school work, but it's coming along. I'm still working on it now, and I can only hope that it reaches a respectable state before the end of Spring Break.

Ryan and I have tickets to PAX East for Friday, and I'll be apartment hunting during the week of Spring Break. I've been job searching in the area and all across the US with the hopes that I'll have a job upon graduation. I can hope, can't I?

Anyway, my excitement is running high now. I'm happy to get some time away from Burlington, and I am looking forward to the weeks ahead.
