Well, my winter break was 5 weeks long. It was pretty good. I spent the first two weeks living in Cuba doing a study abroad trip with the film department! We shot our short documentary on race relations in Cuba vs. in the US. When we stayed at EICTV, the national film school that Fidel helped start, there was a cafe that had $1 mojitos. Those mojitos were pretty damn good. But the scenery was amazing and Old Havana was beautiful. I did get pretty sick on the 4th day though and that was not fun. Other than that we ate some good food, smoked some good cigars, drank some really good rum, like every night, and yeah. When I was in a cigar shop in Old Havana I ran into two Drexel grads from 2015, it was really weird to meet Drexel people in Cuba. We also met up with 2 Drexel professors, one of them was there to get married, and the other was there playing at EDM shows. We went to his EDM show and it was pretty lit.
Then I came back to capitalist America. I told myself I was going to get a lot of work done. I got around 80% done on 3 of the 4 weekly models. I spent a lot of time catching up on sleep and just spending much needed time with my family. I did however do some unintenional research while playing one of my new favorite games. While everyone else was fighting off zombie-like creatures I was busy inspecting all the game models and textures and was able to figure out some new modeling techniques. Also unlike everyone else, I have 2 production classes this term... yay. Pros: I'm all rested and ready for winter term! Cuba was great. Alcohol was cheap, food was good, the people are all really good looking. Cons: I have production classes and I have to resubmit a final from last term because I wasn't able to finish it fully. I might die again later in the term, but its for SPROJ. I really miss the carribean weather... we really could use that right now instead of this cold weather. Film students aren't that bad after all. Ruins01 by banditofernando on Sketchfab Ruins02 by banditofernando on Sketchfab Ruins03 by banditofernando on Sketchfab
