Luck of the Irish

Well as I had hoped, I am now being fed my own projects and am able to do them very well. Recently, I have been in charge of a lot of cutting out of headshots for Notre Dame. Today I was given the women's basketball team to do and I learned very quickly... I HATE women's basketball teams. This has nothing to do with the sport, I love basketball, but the hair. As if cutting out hair wasn't hard enough, some girls decided to go above and beyond to make my life difficult with their curls! However difficult, I feel I have done a great job on them and that may be why I am being given more. I also have been in charge of helping Nate with other Notre Dame stuff such as what plays on the big screen boards before the game starts. These tasks are actually quite simple, but take a lot of time and if I didn't have a lot of prior knowledge of After Effects, I wouldn't be able to do it. What I am really excited about this week is that I have finally moved past, if barely, the templates. Today was the first time I was given a project and had to create it, not edit a template. It simply gives me a better feeling to know that (in the words of Mr. Petty) I MADE THAT. So far I am loving it and I can't wait what awaits me the rest of the week
