So, I'm finally here in Philly, and my college adventure has just begun. I got my MacBook, AND Adoe Creative Suite in the mail yesterday. The Mac is awesome, and I get Photoshop, DreamWeaver and Flash in the Suite.

The only problem with the MacBook is that it doesn't have a VGA/DMI port, of which there is an adapter to connect a serial device to, namely, my tablet. (My roomie, Tyler, has a MacBook Pro which DOES have the port, which is why I expected mine to have it.) Even IF I could find the adapter, it seems Macs don't support serial tablets. (The only reason I have a serial tablet instead of a USB is because my uncle gave me his that he doesn't really use, after I found out that the one they gave for Christmas two years ago causes Flash to crash unexpectedly.)

So, I guess I'll have to put up with the latter of the two tablets until this Christmas, where the possibility of me getting an actual USB Wacom exists. ...It sucks, being poor.

I know that at least a FEW of you are waiting for *HYPERANIMATION! Episode 2, among other Flashes I might throw out at you. I promise I'll get to work on those ASAP.

The only thing that would get in the way of my animating is, ironically, my school schedule. Naturally, you don't start hands-on animation classes in your first quarter, so I won't be doing stuff for school for a while. Doesn't help that I have to get up brutally early on Mondays and Tuesdays, but hey, that's college.

tl;dr Problems with the tablet, trying to resolve, college is fun but hard.

Wondering if he'll think it's too quiet at night back at home,
