Today I got the chance to see the AWD (advanced web design) final projects – what I’ll be working on for the next 2 months. It was nice to kind of get an idea of what kind of project I’ll be working on with some of my classmates. Some of the projects were flat out amazing – others, not so much.

Given the time constraints, I was overall impressed with what they were able to do with such limited resources. Another cool thing is apparently you can actually charge a local business/band/whatever for your services. I was under the impression that it had to be pro bono.

I also got my grade for my web design class and, as expected, I got an A. What kind of makes the whole thing bittersweet is the fact that a few of my friends ended up failing the class. The pace and the difficulty of some of the projects were just too much, I suppose. The funny thing is, the teachers for this class were by far the best we’ve had since I started here, so it’s not really due to poor instruction.

In any event, it’s sad to see some of the kids you’ve gotten to know over the past 6 months or so hit the dusty trail. Hopefully round 2 teaches them a lot and they get out of there. This weekend should be nice.

I think I’ll be attending a shindig thrown by a DM buddy of mine, and if the weather cooperates, I want to go to the beach on Sunday. I’ll try to enjoy my last few lazy days before AWD and Game Content Creation classes start up next week.
