School is such a blur right now. We’ve been going none stop for two years now at full capacity without taking a quarter off. We are just nearing the end of winter quarter 2009, but because we are enrolled in online courses, we’ll be missing spring break finishing them up… blerg (thanks Tina Fey for that wonderful new word).
But while we are finishing the quarter off while simultaneously jumping into the next, we’ve been dreaming/thinking/talking of our life after school. There’s the biggest concern; finding jobs to earn the moneys (school ain’t cheap!)? But we want to find jobs that are going to push us in the right direction, jobs that are going to help our dreams/goals.
The immediate thought and desire is to find work in New York. We absolutely love everything about New York and the thought of living there does nothing but excite and inspire us. But a recent investigation in the Bay area could be in the works.
Watching Finding Nemo the other day, Sarah began researching Pixar animation studios. There are great internship opportunities that would help me in more ways than one. Pixar just looks like a great place to learn not only in skill, but in work ethic and leadership. They have great attitudes and work hard to maintain them. I really like what I see at Pixar and I see a gold mine of the “invisible stuff.”
Now, I’ve always been interested and drawn to 3D modeling and animation but never had the tools to really test myself in it. I could spend the next couple of years learning to as a hobby whilst building a portfolio to apply for the internship. The weird thing is, I wouldn’t pursue any other animation studio if I were to invest into my animation skills. The thought excites me and Pixar would be great! But that would mean moving to the Bary area before moving to New York. That is the biggest catch at the moment.
We’ve got some thinking/praying to do. Big choices in front of us but thankful that we have them.
You updated! HUZZAH!
