Post-Uni, I am lost.

Hey guys,

I finished Uni on June 8th, and went on holiday with my family for the long weekend.

On Monday I got home and spent the week relaxing.

On Wednesday I did a bit of Pickle-Shaped Peanuts stuff, since it's been a year since the last video on that channel. I should make sure to get some videos up for Mickell Pickell to edit.

It was race weekend for Supercars, and I very much enjoyed catching up. At first, I was very unsure about whether I wanted to because of how much I missed out on. I started catching up on that Wednesday, and by Friday I was caught up for the most part. There are still bits and pieces that I will have to find. Nevertheless, I am understanding how the series is going right now, although unsure about the "return" of Ford to the championship with the Mustang Supercar due to debut next year.

I feel like I have gained very little from Uni, even though I am very aware of the things that I have gained. The 18-year-old who drove to his Australian History exam knew nothing compared to the 22-year-old who has driven to many since then. In terms of my Resume, there is not much to add from the three and a half years of Uni. I put Project Management because I have done many projects with lots of different people. I still feel like the jobs that would be ideal for me (like I know what they are *sarcasm*) are beyond reach, but I think this is for a lack of trying. Once I get moving I think that things will start feeling better.

I also have to get back into the swing of all of my hobbies: comics and YouTube videos mainly. Today I made myself work on videos, and I'm still working on them now. It was for the best and I think that it has been sufficient to get me moving again. What is in my brain in terms of knowing how to do stuff is more able to do the work than the part of my brain that has been pegged to Uni work, YouTube viewing, and Civilization 5 for the past four months.

It's an emotional problem, but I'm working through it.


I've been working on three videos about my 2019 plan.

I posted this picture on Twitter and on this Blog a few months ago, outlining my thoughts of what needs to change for my channels to improve.

Today I continued from where I had left off and made the profile pictures for Mabeanie Games and Mabeanie Talks.

I like the Mabeanie Games one because it looks more realistic, but I like all of them really. Mabeanie2's could do with some darkening with the speech bubble being a bit too similar a colour to the background. I just copied the colours from this year's profile pictures. Luckily I have the liberty to make modifications for the next six months. 

The hard bit is wondering if I want to make gaming videos anymore. I have a big stockpile of stuff that needs to be uploaded, and maybe I'll post the stuff that I like the most. I did an Assassin's Creed episode with Ihasnotomato a few years ago, so that would be fun to publish.

I am not so much lost in terms of where I want to go in life, but I can't see a pathway. My simplistic approach at Uni of finishing my degree, then getting a job afterwards (any job), and having two separate things in my life consisting of work and then my hobbies while I save up for all of the things that I want in life: a house and a game design business. I plan to be very conservative with my money, and the amount that I've saved this year has surpassed a thousand dollars, so that's very good. CentreLink can't frighten me anymore if I have a pillow to fall back on.

Anyway, that's the update on everything for the past four months.

This Friday I will work on my comic Hale Kane with Ihasnotomato, and on Monday we will have an AIM Industries recording session.

Busy days!

See Ya!
