Hello world! February 20, 2008

Hello Blogging World! This is my very first blog post ever and I am starting a blog only because it is an assignment for my Career Prep course for the Digital Animation Program. Who knows, maybe I’ll fall in love with blogging and end up blogging it up until the wee hours of the morning. Maybe, I’ll become addicted to blogging. It would be a cheaper alternative to my current poker addiction (half joking). Speaking of poker, I am super excited and anxious because this Friday I will be playing in the 3rd Annual BC Women’s Poker Classic. I played in this tournament last year and couldn’t wait to play in it again. It was my very first tournament ever and I ended up making it to 13th out of 300 participants. woohoo!

Mona Yuan #13 yeah BABY!

My hope is to bring home the grand prize so I can pay for my tuition. That’s enough poker talk because my life isn’t all about the game, right now I am devoted to school. I apologize to all my friends reading this whom I have promised to hang out with and haven’t contacted yet. I have to hibernate till this program is finished. My background mainly consists of training in traditional fine art, but I have entered the digital realm now and I am keen on expanding my skills. I am excited to use this blog to showcase some of my traditional and digital art. I am a pretty random person and I tend to veer off topic, so I can be blogging about almost anything and everything. Right now I am wondering where the word “blog” comes from…. and I just wikipedia’ed the term because I am constantly wikipedia’ing everything and it is states that the word blog is a portmanteau of web log. So, I just wikipedia’ed portmanteau and it means a word that fuses two or more words or word parts to give a combined or loaded new meaning. So there you go. You gotta love wikipedia.
