JANUSSENPRE'S PROFILE

I grew up in a relatively high income family so thankfully, I've never really been in a bad financial situation. I've paid off all my college debts and I've even got plenty of money left over my college english tutoring to support the last couple of years I've spent living a somewhat "hedonistic/frivolous/artistic" lifestyle. That being said, I'm only providing for one. I don't have a family to support let alone a girlfriend at the moment so I can afford to be a bit superfluous with my spending. I'm really thankful for all of the extra cushion that I've been given in life. I was born in 1985 and to my knowledge, many of the peers that I've reconnected with over the years are still living paycheck to paycheck.

I am reminded however, of one of my old apartment-mates back in college. Three out of the four of us in the apartment were big spenders so we liked going out to eat every other night (mostly sit down places as opposed to fast food), we frequently purchased video games and got our weekly groceries at Whole Foods. The last guy however was barely making it through school. His diet primarily consisted of PB&J sandwiches and homemade microwaved baked potatoes. Most of his pants were so worn down that some of them were practically in tatters below the knee. We never looked down on him and we always extended an invitation to come along with us during our food excursions. Thankfully, as terrible as his situation was, he worked hard with what he had and out gpa'ed us all. I think he's working on his PhD now. :)

I've subbed here and there for a while. The pay is okay. On average its about $100-120 USD where I live for a day's work and the pay will scale depending on how long the sub assignment is. I can definitely relate to your experience. Classroom and faculty environments can really differ depending on the school and district. Unfortunately, from my experience, subs are generally disrespected by both the administration and student body more often than not. If you do decide to sub, stay away from middle school. If you plan on continuing to stay in the classroom in any sort of capacity then I recommend you look into shouldering some extra debt and try and get your Single / Multi Subject credential and become an actual K-12 teacher. Programs usually last a year (maybe more) and you have to spend quite a bit of time in the classroom as a proxy "assistant teacher". I'm not sure how much you get paid as an aid, but it will sure as hell feel good to get paid a salary.

Hah! It looks pretty damn good for having been finished while half asleep.

That "wait is her secret code word for attack!" line kills me. Also, call me crazy, but did you finish the "animation" for the poison status effect icon? I could have sworn the colors pulsated briefly at 1:32-1:33.

OH BABY.

Nice! I remember you troubleshooting that particular bug for a loooonnng while. Nice bloody work mate.

Yay, Ultros! Great comical fight. I love his battle ramblings. I also love that multi-tentacle splash attack animation... very nicely done.

On that note, I'm probably going to have to make a blog post sometime this next month about the graphical progress towards the next demo... concerning sprites *ahem*

Crazy combo. Its music to my ears.

+200 MP regen per turn sounds pretty damn great.

I wholeheartedly recommend Uncharted Waters: New Horizons.

AAA+ :D
