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.
