HUGE GINORMOUS EXCESSIVELY LARGE POST AHEAD! Originally, I was gonna break these projects up by the class, but today's a blogging day according to my calendar. So I figured why not spend a bit more time with one big post today about all my animation projects instead of spreading them out... >.> I got time. ... I love saying that. Sooo, where to begin...?? We'll go with my 3D animation projects. ^^ And, no, we're not talkin' Pixar status here. I swear, I will never view those movies the same ever again. The amount of time and effort that goes into this kind of work is EXCRUCIATINGLY wearisome. And the big Mac computers (lol bigmac) could barely handle the short animations we were putting together. I can't even imagine what kind of system is needed to produce a professional movie of Pixar's caliber. 3D modeling and 3D animation were two different classes I took as we saw in earlier entries. Had to take the modeling first, 'cause of course anima...

Pulling one more all-nighter for a NIGHTMARE of a final exam at noon. Then I have two final critiques after that... Listening to songs like ... Light 'Em Up by Fall Out Boy, Never Close Your Eyes by Adam Lambert, and Wide Awake by Katy Perry... ARE YOU SEEING A TREND HERE...'CAUSE I AM. AND THAT SH*T IS ON REPEAT. x___________x *feels like death* I have a salad, airborne, cookies, and a cake next to me...and the icecream is on stand-by. CRAP! I forgot the green tea... *goes to make it* Good...now. WE GO HARDCORE TILL THE END 'CAUSE THAT'S HOW WE ROOOOLLL!!!! ~Uni

Just want to ramble for a moment to get away from work. Poor Facebook is feeling the effects of my uneasiness; I really do feel bad. It's Dead Week. That oh-so-ugly week before finals. There will be no sleeping. Not even my Dad is trying to get me to sleep this week. And he's always telling me to mind my health on every level. It's THAT serious. What I have left is to finish an Asian art research paper, a contemporary art quiz, final exam proposal, and BRUTAL final exam (prof's own words)...I have to finish my final 3D animation by Thursday this week, my final video documentary assignment by Wednesday, and my final senior video project by next week. My instructor also wants me to try and redo some audio on a project I just finished for reasons I'll mention at a later date. I plan to blog about everything that's been going on, but I don't even have time to do that right now. I actually need to go pull out my journal to record some more personal issues goi...

I just got back from San Francisco again. It was a nice day - I'll be blogging about it later. But time is so, so limited... The things I really want to record in blog posts are piling up fast, and I just don't even have time for this. lol I may actually resort to podcasting a lot of them just to get them done, because I record a lot of what I do for personal sanity. Kind of like a: Yes, I did this, it was significant, and now it will always be remembered even though its impact will fade in my mind under the pressure of everything else I'm going through. It's my boyfriend's birthday today...I hardly have time to do anything for him. I couldn't do art for him this year, I hardly have time to Skype with him (long distance relationship), I hardly have money to buy him anything... I sent him a letter. Not sure it'll get there in time. It's just frustrating. Upon getting home tonight, I learned of at least 4 other major tasks I need to accomplish in addit...

So, I'm sitting here in the computer lab at school during Spring "Break"...which really isn't a break at all as I'm spending it catching up with all the work I couldn't do regularly. x_X Figured I'd blog as I work. This week I'm making two trips to the hospital for a lengthy physical regarding the job I'm testing for. They're doing extensive testing on things like my sight, hearing, heart, breathing, blood, dental, body fluids, and women's health stuff. So far so good! My eyes are pretty damn good, but, unfortunately, they aren't perfect. SO...I will have to wear my glasses on the job. It's a field that requires perfect vision no matter what. Glad I already have them so I don't have to buy new ones, and also glad I'm not going to be a pilot - they HAVE to get corrective surgery if they're not perfect already. ...But the glasses are still not something I'm looking forward to. I also found out I'm blood type O+. F...

My Contemporary Art History professor is requiring us to take a trip to San Francisco this semester and "raid" the Museum of Modern Art (a.k.a SFMoMA) to write a research paper on our favorite work there. So, that's what I did this past Saturday. SF is about a 2-hour drive from me, and I went with a fellow classmate and her two friends. We were required to visit every gallery in the building across 5 different floors. We had to take multiple photos of works in each gallery, and of ourselves...because she will not even grade our work if we don't have photo proof that we were there. x_x So, pretty much it was a given that we had to go with other people...not only because SF is a hell of a city to brave alone...but also so we could take each others' photos and what-not. We also had to sketch our favorite work, and keep a photo journal inside the actual museum. BUT...as a blogger, I'm naturally inclined to take more photos than necessary. :P We stopped in B...
