The Theory

Whoops, it’s been quite a long time since my latest blog post hasn’t it. I was planning on updating the blog about two or three times a week but I haven’t got around to updating it so far. I would’ve done it sooner but… I need my sleep you know!

As it turns out this last week has been quite a busy one. I am doing my final project for college and am extremely close to the deadline. With, in my humble opinion, the most awesome group ever we are creating a point-and-click adventure game. This game is about Alec Thorne who must travel into his own memories to discover a terrible incident from his past which left him with a permanent fear of the dark. By reliving previously hidden memories the player will find out exactly what happened.

It’s the last project I’m doing before I quit my course. Actually I already quit my course in September but I’m finishing this project for a number of reasons. First off I was one of the people who started the project, this being a project the others and I really wanted to do. Secondly the group in which I am working is so awesome I couldn’t bear not seeing them anymore. Thankfully we already have plans for after this project so I’ll remain in contact with every last one of them, fuck yeah.

The third reason is that while I will not be getting any EC’s with this project I’ll still be creating a wonderful portfolio product. Among others I was allowed to write the story, which is pretty important to the game. There are a lot of other small reasons but these are the main ones. I wouldn’t have found a new course within these few months anyway so I see this time as anything but wasted.

Anyway I’m getting off track. I’ve been having some busy weeks lately as there are numerous things I have to complete. I’m still practicing for the show, which was rescheduled to the 25^th, thank God, and which is taking up at least an hour a day. Furthermore I’m off to college at 7:45 and return at about 18:00. I’m also working on a side project which is taking up quite some time every week and try to do the miscellaneous tasks in-between.

Does it bother me that I’m having so little free time at the moment? Well, no. Actually I love it. Everything I do now, I do with a focus. A focus on improving myself and the things I like to do in the future. In short: within a year I’ll be a super self disciplined, focused and efficient worker getting the most out of my life in every possible way. That’s the theory at least. Now to make it work.
