GDC Day 1
Rebecca Fortelka
So, GDC Day 1 went amazingly well. The day started at 6 am bright and early but since I was excited to go to conference, it was not a struggle at all. Wish it was that easy to get up that early on a school week. When you take 20 credits a semester sleep is something that is not easy to come by.
