Wow. So we’re a little more than half way through the year. That’s kind of scary because I really need to start working on my demo reel. Industry night was last week. It was pretty cool. Everyone did a kick ass job, I think. I’ll miss bugging some of the grads, especially when I’m bored. Haha.
Hmm…our XSI assignment is due on Thursday. I went to school today and yesterday to work on it, but …haha… I barely got anything done. Horrible. I’ll get it done, I swear. Our character model sheet is due on Thursday too, actually I have been working on that. … but agh I have to get my proportions right. What else, what else is due soon? Oh! Our project for career prep is due soon, so I got to start on that too. Bah. Lots of work to do!
I’ve been meaning to get my sketchbook from high school since September (everything I’ve done is in there!) I never really got around to that. Hopefully, it’s still there when I go visit on Friday. I doubt it though. I want to start painting again, but I don’t have the time. I should make time for it, because I have so many unfinished paintings from high school! Yeah, I’m such a slow painter… sometimes I can be a perfectionist? I remember one time I painted one part of my painting like at least five times because I either ran out of the colour (and couldn’t get the right shade again) or I didn’t like the colour. Yeah, my friend was annoyed at me for that. Pft, not like it was her painting anyway, right? I guess she got sick of watching me paint the same thing over and over again. Sad to say, but I threw away some of my old paintings from high school. Sigh. I regret doing that. I wasn’t thinking back then. I remember even using one painting, that I worked my ass off for by the way, as an umbrella (I was really pissed because I didn’t realize what I was doing… I was pretty sleep deprived at the time so I had no clue as to what I was doing). Yeah, I was really pissed off at myself for that.
I finally got a wacom tablet and pen. It’s actually fun. I’m starting to get hooked onto it.
Anyway, once again, I went to the mall almost every day last week. I was so stressed out. So… retail therapy?I need to find a better way to handle stress! My head was all over the place at work, on Saturday, my coworker and customers (the regulars) said straight up that I was a mess. Haha, losing my composure? Don’t I always? Sometimes stress affects my mood, it did, but I think … I’m not going to let the workload get to me. I’m just gonna go with whatever I have.
