It's the end of the year as we know it (and I feel fine)

Wow, so year's almost over. It's lunch break and I'm writing from my desk at Immersion Games, where i'm about to gather my second month of work. The job is awesome! It's really difficult - I'm asked to make an animation using two characters that interact per day - and I had to stay in town during Christmas and New Year so I could finish some pendant work, but it's still amazing!!

Last time I wrote here it was November, so mmm.... I guess I'll do a fast recapitulation of this year's story:

- I finished my diploma in Character Animation at AnimationMentor.com
- I went to my graduation in San Francisco!! And to my first (but not last) Siggraph convention in LA
- I moved out from my parents' house to a big house with my sweet girlfriend and a bunch of friends! We got moved from one room to a bigger one (with its own bathroom) due to one couple of friends moving out from there to an appartment in September.
- I bought like 20 books in the International Book Fair (FIL in Spanish) in Guadalajara. Most of them were meant for my girlfriend, but I managed to buy 2 big novels for just 8 dollars and some small biographies for 2 dollars each.
- We did a small quick vacation trip to Acapulco this summer, and I was saving to go to Quebec this winter but well, job called.
- Aaaand, I got a job as an animator!!

Preety cool year, huh?
