Day 1

Day 1 wasn't too productive. One reason being that I need to reset my sleep schedule so I actually wake up at a reasonable hour (ie before noon). Then I had to go grocery shopping and roast a chicken. And lastly, there was a double header for Monday Night Football. So I only got through basic stuff like learning about the interface and creating and manipulating simple objects. I haven't made anything particularly noteworthy yet so here's just a picture of what Maya (the program I'm using) actually looks like.

so many buttons...

So not that much progress but actually getting started feels good. I think things will snowball from here.
