Graduated and long lost on the event horizon.

Yes I know, it’s been too long since I have bothered to write anything on the blog. I feel like I should be more up to date with my self. =)

Q: Where have I been?
A: Somewhere almost all the graduates end up in I suppose. In a post- graduation black-hole, as we call it. =)

So, what’s been going on is, “I graduated”… =) Mad Props! right?  Hurray!!! YeAH!  OR? well…… to be honest the reality kicked in WAY too soon.  No holiday, no proper celebaration.. No getting drunk and losing it.  Not that I was expecting a total shift in my reality, but maybe a temporary one would have been cool ;) I kinda needed it after an overwhelmingly “serious” year. With no obvious difference to tell one from another, I couldn’t complete the transition properly, I guess. Not yet at least.

Anywhooo, all the boring, troublesome, distasteful “adulthood” details, such as trying to find a job etc  aside(living in a foreign country does make a huge difference unfortunately =P), I could say that all I have been doing, in full focus, was working on the Go for IT! Project  that I have started during my studies.  An Urban Game Project in Rotterdam South (NL) initiated by the organization called The Patchingzone. It’s a cool, interesting, challenging yet very very “human-cpu hungry” project. =P  Especially in the last couple of months, production process sped up quite a lot and it is great to see things actually happening. But since there are a lot of deadlines ahead of us now, the current schedule/work load/timeline leaves very little headroom for other stuff. All the while, I’ve been collecting my ideas , tagging them “to be realized” for upcoming “one day”, some day… they are piling up =) call it good news or bad news. Depends on one’s perspective I guess. To me it is good news cos I feel like as soon as we make it to our deadline, and lunch the Game we have been developing, things will slow down, the tension will be gone, a bit of a relief a bit of a cool-down…. a bit I hope..  And I will be able to focus on my personal projects as well. I hope. There is always a risk in postponing things though, I know… tricky.

Anyways, I should write about the Go for IT! Project in details at some point as well. For some reason I haven’t published anything about it although most of my life in Rotterdam has been evolving around it for about 10 months now =D. But  I guess I’m gonna leave it for another time. No, not to procrastinate, but to go to sleep =D It is quite late.. So forgive me for my long break and accept this little post as an intro of a new era (wow that’s a big word eheh) : “life outside of the school” (well yea that’s literally it; after 25 years of continuous education, crazy stuff…)

Check the website: Go for IT! =) it might help.. for now.
