Hey so it's the middle of week 2 at RIT and I found out I actually have to be here for 4 weeks instead of 3 till the next break and my break is only 2 weeks long because they are switching to semester scheduling which sucks for us but we gotta just roll with the punches I guess. So working really early for the first three days of the week isn't taking as much of a toll on me as I thought and I am getting my workouts in. I am actually trying out a new diet or eating pattern since apparently that word is taboo or something; its called intermittent fasting where you pretty much eat your days worth of calories in an 8 hour window and apparently it works really well, it goes against everything I learned and believed in but whatever works I guess. I come across it all the time since would read topics on forums in my free time. You can read long articles about this but in short its pretty much comes down to just skipping breakfast. I just started doing this strictly at the start of this week but it saves me a ton of time in the morning but I do miss breakfast foods a lot though, maybe i'll just eat my egg whites for dinner or something. Well only time will tell if this thing is legit or just another silly crazy.
For work I actually picked up a new shift which isn't a short one that would make me get up early in the morning but I do have to show up on Sunday though. I also received an email about a note taking job for my 3D class for my game design minor so hopefully I get that job, I don't want to gloat but I am the best in that class even more than the teaching assistant mainly since it is my destined profession, maybe I will even ask to be the TA for next quarter. Japanese is also going pretty well, I think it might be because the teacher is actually pretty good at teaching and pushing us to study; over last weekend I had to memorize the first 15 characters of haragana (1 of the 3 writing styles in Japan) but then I found out I had to memorize the next 15 over night which I did thanks to my visual memory and memorization methods I developed but now apparently we have almost a week to finish the rest of those characters which is 16 more so I don't know how the thought process of the spacing of these quizzes was thought out. I sometimes wonder if my friends care when I start yelling out random Japanese phrases. So I got good with sketching on tablets and drew up some characters for my character design class based on a photo I took of myself in a T pose. I still need to develop a back story which I might actually just develop a short story about a universe I thought of but the details for that are for another time. For my senior thesis assist class I am helping design and develop some game characters for some game design majors with a partner in my class. She's a really hard worker so I'm trying more than usual with getting things done early so I can pull my weight. I am excited to start modeling all these characters this quarter though; I will post the details on my characters another time when they become works in progress. As for my 3D class in the game department; it's really easy but I am still putting a lot of time in since I try to have optimized clean geometry, as for now I am just waiting for the teacher to teach about one of the game engines I can put my characters in. I think that's enough for now, till next time.
