Discovering Digital Media

Finished, FITC, and Freedom

So… I’m officially a real person. Or at least I’m supposed to be. I’ve finished college, but I’ve yet to find a job… or even job prospects! I’ll always look back at my time at Seneca College as a good one. There’s been ups and downs, but I’d have to say I’ve been the happiest the last two years, learning to do the work I enjoy doing with people who share the same interests.

I’d like to thank a few people, starting with Samina Patel, Alex Steacy and Danielle Pepin. You kept me sane, you kept me on track, you were my partners in crime, as well as on projects. You were always there when I needed an ear to bitch to, or just a shout out for help on work in the middle of the night. You listened when times were tough, when I felt like giving up, in school or otherwise. Thanks big sis Samina, thank you ARECKS, and thank you Danielle… cause I never call you anything silly. Derp.

Next I’d like to thank Frank Duffy, without you I’d never have gotten that Flash site together in time, and Kim wouldn’t have either.

Also I’d like to thank Laura Kucharchuk, Amanda Davy, and Daria Magas-Zamaria (not that she’ll ever read this, lol) for being super-awesome.

Lastly, I’d like to thank Kimberley Hollett for spending many an all-nighter on work, cracking the whip (people will lol hard at this, but in all seriousness, I wouldn’t be where I am without her) lighting the fire under my ass (same applies to this) being my partner in almost every project possible, being my partner in dinner preparation, being my partner in Brawl, putting up with my sometimes grumpy moods, and being all around the best person ever. I love you. <3

With that out of the way, after we finished classes, we all loaded up the truck to take our Senestuff to FITC. FITC was three days full of presentations, booths, swag, and dinners out. I manned the Seneca Booth a lot of the time, answering questions for people that came around, converting videos to show on our screens, and trying to get people to blog. Which they didn’t much. (If anyone’s wondering about the skin, Kim couldn’t get the FTP working with the info we were given. -_-; )

Now for part three, freedom. What have I been doing, what will I be doing? What is next for Craig Follick?

Well, since I got home on Thursday night, I’ve just been hanging out at home, sort of winding down. I borrowed my friend’s PS2 and I’m re-playing my copy of Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil (one of my top five favourite games of all time) to prepare for the remake of Klonoa: Door to Phantomile that’s coming out for Wii next week. Also, Kim bought me Animal Crossing: City Folk and SSX Tricky, so I’ve been playing those too. In the near future (probably tomorrow) I’m going to start building a website for myself, probably simple at first. Finally, my domain will have a little more than just an “Enter the Blog” button! Tuesday, I’m going to a concert with Kim, Ben, Sonja, and Jess, and then I’ll be staying overnight at my place until Wednesday… I haven’t thought much further ahead than that! Job hunting will be soon after, no doubt.

Anyways, I’m gonna go have dinner with my parents now, then go hang with Cindy for a bit, then hang with Nate, Phil and Shayne for a little belated birthday celebration for Nate. Craig, out!
