First Day @ Carnegie Mellon

So yesterday was my first day here at Carnegie Mellon University. Although I didn't really do anything out of the ordinary or pertaining to the Game Academy I went to some meetings, and a speech from the director. As well as a campus tour. I have to say that CMU's campus is really beautiful. It has a lot of buildings which have a long history on campus. The residence halls are very spacious and comfortable, and are all fitted with high security. Overall the security of the campus is outstanding. And there is free WiFi within one mile radius of the campus! So even if you live outside campus you can get Carnegie's wifi!

My room

The room I was assigned is pretty cool. Since I got here after my roommate, who is cool by the way, I got the bunk bed. Although it might seem like the better choice, it's a pain when you've got to get something in the middle of the night.

And this is where the magic happens :)

So today I will go on a walking tour of Pittsburgh, hang out, maybe go visit some stores and restaurants; because, tomorrow we will start the hard work.

National High School Gaming Academy @ Carnegie Mellon University

It has been a while since I last blogged, so I am deciding to do something a little bit different. For the next 6 weeks I am going to be attending the NHSGA over at Carnegie Mellon University. It is a Pre-College summer camp in Pittsburgh where attendees get to explore the video game industry and the skills needed to be successful in it. They teach Game Art, Design, and Programming. I am attending the camp with a focus on video game programming, but all three will be taught.

Today I board a plane to Pittsburgh and stay overnight there, because tomorrow is the registration day. I have everything ready and packed. Well everything besides my laptop, given that I'm posting this. After this I will pack the laptop and get ready to head to the airport. Hopefully my next post will be from the campus at Carnegie Mellon.

I will try to keep up with my blog on what's going on @ Carnegie Mellon. My camp activities, as well as programming progress.
