So on my way back to NJ I almost died haha, funny story so about half way during the 5 hour drive I was in the fast lane and last second I notice a broken down car halfway still on the road. I don't quiet know remember why this happened, I think I might have been zoned out from driving for so long, looking at my gps, or I was behind a truck and switched lanes but what ever did happened I quickly pulled the steering wheel right and lost control, turned it back to the left and into the grassy middle section almost into the opposite traffic and back into the grass where it got stuck in the mud. The cops that showed up for the other car called a tow truck for me and miraculously neither the car or I were hurt. The scary part was how calm I was during and afterwards I believe most people would have pooped themselves. Well I am alive and well and back at RIT because I've come too far for my journey to end now and I will keep blogging.
On break I watched videos and taught myself how to use zbrush and sketchbook so I wasn't completely unproductive. I also got better with Illustrator and unlocked its true potential with the pen tool, I wound up making a t-shirt design for my fraternity's 40th anniversary as well as a series of tshirts for sororities and a photoshop poster for a dance party. I hung out with some of my close friends and we decided to go make our second epic meal, based on a youtube channel. Our first one was a white castle lasagna where we took a crave case which is 30 slider cheese burgers along with some of the sides like onion rings french fries mozzarella sticks and chicken rings and put it together. This time we bought a frozen pizza from walmart a bag of shredded cheese and three baconators. We put the burgers on the pizza and covered the whole thing in cheese, the pizza was 5 cheese so I guess it was 7 cheese total. It actually came out really well; it was extremely filling and hard to finish my portion of it though. I also went black friday shopping with them, this year didn't quite feel like one since there where no lines or crazyness since it started at 12 in the morning but it was still fun, I got some pretty cheap clothes and the last copy of a new video game, it was also pretty cool being in the mall at four in the morning but it felt just like any other busy weekend there.
Thanksgiving was fun with my family as usual and I ate the food for like the next day or two. I'm back in the gym now so it wasn't too damaging to eat so much this break haha. I designed a new workout since I am really tired of doing the same full body workout 3 times a week, the full body thing worked out really well so I decided to make two separate full body workouts (horizontal push and pull with quads for the first and vertical push and pull with hamstrings for the second) its set up so you do heavy with one and do light with the other and then light again with the first workout and then heavy with the second. I've always had an easy time gaining muscle but when it came to losing weight I had trouble so I think I will focus on that this quarter, you can technically do both at the same time but its a lot more difficult so I am going to do a lot of cardio and be more strict with my diet while keeping my strength. My new work schedule forces me to wake up mon-wed at 6 but on the bright side I can try and get more things done during the day as well as workout early. My classes this quarter should be interesting, I am taking Japanese which will fill my only liberal arts thing I never finished and if I do well and like it, I might make it my concentration. 3D modeling and animation should be really easy since its for game design kids and its for my minor but maybe I will learn some new things but if not I can always use more practice or time to work on my portfolio. Senior thesis assist is a requirement where I think I help a senior do their thesis, and character design for 3D I am excited for since thats what I pretty much want to do for my career, but the first class was cancelled since my professors at a conference somewhere or something. I ordered a zbrush anatomy book so as soon as that comes in I'll hopefully be sculpting some awesome characters to post up. Well till next time, hope my classes go well.
