Next week is graduation day and generally the last time I'll see
and speak to most of my peers and lecturers. Though I can imagine I’ll keep in
contact with a 10 or so, it’s realistically the last time you’ll see everyone
together. People move back home in most cases
around the country and in some cases back to their home country. It’s a great opportunity to reminisce and
socialise although I personally won’t be attending mine because of costs.
I think this time tells a lot about a student. Speaking to
quite a lot of my peers almost all of them haven’t even opened 3Ds Max (Main
program we used for uni) and I think it clearly shows those who were actually
passionate about the course and their career. At the
moment my timetable is 10 hours’ 3Ds Max a day, 6 days a week. I'm planning to
give my portfolio a huge boost with my skills in the next few weeks.
I enjoy doing it and sometimes in my assigned breaks I’ll be
still working on projects. Though in the meantime I've been accepted to 3
different scholarships at 2 different universities. This means if I decided
that industry isn't right for me at the moment then I’ll carry on with
education.
I think the perfect job for me would to be working in a
small 3D animation studio and I think I'm ready for that. I’ll polish up my
portfolio in the next few weeks and be sending it to a certain few companies
that’d love to work at.
I think this applies to any computer science course, work on
your portfolio. It’s 100% your portfolio that counts. Your degree will only
matter when being compared to someone who doesn't have one.
