Introduction, Otherwise known as "I have a Blogger already?"

So this is going to be the very first blog post of this first semester. I'd say it would be the first post of this blog, but apparently Blogger saves account information for much longer than I thought.  Anyway I guess I should begin describing myself.  My name is Jake McLain and I'm a senior studying biology.  My main interests include video games, animation, and some music.  More specifically, I've gotten really interested in PC games after I built a new desktop last year.  Currently I'm playing Starcraft 2, Guild Wars 2, and Kingdom Hearts 3DS.  In the past two years I've become really interested in the process of animation.  As long as I've remembered I've being watching cartoons and more recently I've started to think more about the techniques used to create these shows that I enjoy so much.   I think this class is going to either go really well or just become the most frustrating class I've ever taken.  On the one hand I love technology and can pick up on the mechanics of a program pretty well, but the problem is that I'm not a very talented person when it comes to art.  The worst part is that I think I have the creativity to come up with something really cool, but this disconnect between brain and hands is really killing any dream I would have had to be a starving artist one day.  Oh well I'm hoping for the former, so I guess we'll see.
