I guess I can write a little bit of a journal here now but yeah, what recent in my life.
Housing
Im guessing the majority of you know that I'm not in a very good situation at the moment, I sleep on a sofa, not a bed, I dont have an actual room and I use my PC in the living room alongside other people.
This makes making YouTube videos very hard, which is what I love to do, however, whenever the flats empty and I have some freedom, I usually jump on the opportunity to record videos, its usually one day a week and I typically look forward to those days.
My Minecraft Lets Play series has had some success recently, Episode 4 not so much but hopefully I can rekindle the light, however my YouTube channel will probably have a bit of inactivity because I'm due to get out of that situation I just spoke about.
Today, a deposit has been put down onto a house and we should move within the next 2-3 weeks if all goes right, its quite a decent house, my rooms not to big, but at least I will have a room, somewhere to relax and somewhere to record, and also somewhere we can get fully connected to the internet again meaning I can be reconnected with you guys. I'll have Skype back, Steam back and I can actually watch YouTube videos again, I'm looking very forward to it. So the inactivity for a few weeks on YouTube and this blog will be worth it because when I'm back, I'll have more variety, because then I can play Multiplayer games.
College
I'm stressing myself out immensely at the moment because I need to achieve Merit criteria or above in absolutely everything in order to go to University next year, which I really need to do, in order to succeed in future life, and its worrying me. Hopefully, Once I have my own room, I will study better because I'll have my own space, so hopefully some of my college stress will lift up a bit, I'm working in the majority of the free time I have recently, even going on my girlfriend's laptop in order to study
Computer Upgrade
Too much of a lack of funds to actually have a decent computer upgrade, maybe a bit more of an upgrade closer to Christmas though. However, I've been saving and piecing together any change I've had and been dropping it into my bank account, and last weekend, I amounted enough to afford to order 4GB of RAM for my computer, so I did, and its arrived, I just need to go pick it up from my Girlfriends when I can, which will most likely be tomorrow, seeing as it arrived today, but obviously, Today I've been busy, looking at that house and running around, as well as College work.
Game Development
This is another thing that has been filling in my free time recently, as well as stressing me out too.
I want to hopefully become a Games Developer in the future, however looking at programming languages, it looks very dawnting. However, I've been researching, looking up Jargon and researching indie games.
Today I learnt what an IDE was, which I did wonder. I decided to look into using Flixel in order to make games, downloaded FlashDevelop too, I need to download Flex SDK tomorrow at college and then port it to my computer via a USB stick so that I can hopefully practice making games with Flixel.
I think I may put my Game Development at-home education on hold a bit to concentrate on being less stressed with college, being less stressed with my living arrangement and generally leaving it till I am comfortable with College, comfortable at Home, healthier and generally a happier person, and hopefully then I will learn better, however, obviously I dont want to leave it too late.
It's been tempting to look into Games Design instead of Development but I'm not too good of an artist, but I could write a mean storyline, however, I've said I wanted to be a developer all the way through high school, and I suppose I am more likely to actually make a career out of it, hmm, wish I had some sort of help.
Conclusion
I am wrapping up this blog post here, thanks for reading guys! Got a bit off my chest, thanks for reading, and if any of you do, thanks for caring. I love every single one of you guys, thanks for the support. Ciao.
