When everyone around you sacrifices so much that by comparison, have you really done anything?

When they have been living on coffee, do you still cook?

Even though, by comparison to the normal world, damn, you've done more than ever, ever before.


to add to my summer list:
finish projects that weren't finished.

In the trenches of finals, but I've got it mostly under control. Just a little under control.

my shoddy after effects final:

Finals finals finals. I don't have to kill myself over these, but I need to work pretty damn hard. I want everything to be done- but that doesn't mean I don't have my work prioritized.

And it's only Tuesday. I live day by day, and they go slowly.

On another note, how has 2 years gone by so fast?

Upcoming: lists of things I'd like to do / books I'd like to read / games I'd like to play for summer.


For now, this is a part of my animation final, and I think it's the cutest thing in the whole world ^_^ That is, if it loads.

art history, and a story of internships

Today I've applied to my 6th internship (it turned out that I'd applied to the same one twice). I've gotten amazingly better at writing cover letters I've also contacted a couple (but not enough) places on campus about summer jobs.

Halfway through April, and I'm still at a no-go for summer.

But my backup plan, my last-resort plan, is still to work on my own art all summer and build up a portfolio. But it's a last plan. A nothing-else-goes-through plan.

Besides this, I need to finish my 3 animation pieces. Each is 30 seconds.

But I'm almost done with my art history essay, and it's not due till Thursday. So. There's some hope?

shading adventures

Brown paper, some kind of pastel? and black marker. And the last one is one black paper... and looks like a mess.

more caricature

And then I accidentally drew Kirsten Stewart. Not looking up if that's the right name.

 

Caricatures

From my drawing for animators class.

Beethoven's 7th, mvmt 2, Allegretto

As I listen to more classical music- mostly from the Beethoven symphony compilation on my ipod- I would love to play bassoon again, just for the sound. Just enough so that I can play bassoon with a recording of the symphonies and play along and become even closer to music- just like singing along with an other song.

Right now, this is one of my favorites, Beethoven's 7th Symphony, 2nd Mvmt, the Allegretto.

But my art! Last semester feels like years ago as the weather brightens. I have a strip of sunlight coming through the window and warming my face every morning, begging me to get out of bed.

Last weekend was I-CON, which just was a mess of transportation, but I got to meet the nicest people and didn't spend nearly as much as I thought I would. And I survived without a jacket, too.

I have 1 month left of school. In that time, I have main projects to animate, I have 3 papers to write (one due each week starting next, and I've barely started them), and I have finals in the same classes.

Then, summer.
