Quarter is over

Hi!

So I've been a bit busy with my finals and was able to complete them as best as I could. Although, I do feel that if I actually put forth effort to work on my 3D animation assignments sooner, I wouldn't have been in the situation I was in. Well, it's over with and everything's okay.

I passed both of my classes with a B. I would've had an A for my materials & lighting class, but I was behind by one point so :P Oh well!

Soooo, where to start? Okay, so I have a few things in mind that I would like to do. I recently downloaded this free crochet pdf from a website! I'm so excited. I also started reading The Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams. It's all about 2D animation.

I've also started two separate sim movies. A lot of people create series or machinima's using the Sims 2 or 3.However, I have a webcomic I'd like to complete! I'll be starting Chapter 4. I'd like to get a start on it now and I've been considering multiple ways as to how I want Chapter 4 to play out. There's way too many ways and I can't quite figure out which one I like best!I hope to finish Chapter 4 before my class began again in January. It's always been this way. The longest time I have is actually the summer. I'd also like to come up with a concept for a Christmas page.

When it comes to coming up with ideas, I become wayyyy too serious and I know it's not necessary. I need to just relax lol and have fun with what I'm doing. :3 After all our greatest critic is ourselves.

I just happy that my followers have been by my side this long. I feel I owe it to them to give them great work. But then again, who determines how great one's work is but the person doing the work? If I keep thinking this way how will I ever get anything done? :P

So I'm thinking something cute. So I'll do that. I also need a cover page for the next Chapter, but I figured that when I write the script a cover page will come to mind.

Hm...what else? Well, for Christmas I decided to crack out the cookbook my sister got me last Christmas! So far I've only made one thing from that cookbook and it took me about 10 hours to make because I had to do everything by hand (I didn't know it required flatting machine lol).

The book has all kinds of foods in it from different countries (it's an international cookbook). For now I have my eye on these Ginger spice cookies. I also want to make an apple pie (I've never made one before!). Hm...I guess I'm more of a baker. I dunno, I just like to try new things. Every Christmas or Thanksgiving it's usually the same old thing. Not that it's bad or anything, but it does get tiring.

Oh! That's what it was, I was thinking of making Spring rolls. But spring rolls for Christmas? I guess it doesn't matter right lol In the end food is going to get eaten.

Also, last night my mom gave me this book by a man named Elie Wies. I started reading it last night, it's suppose to be about his experience in a concentration camp. So I'm sure there will be tears lol I don't often read fiction novels, but I thought "why not?" I realized that the amount of novels such as fantasy, or horror has decreased and I moved towards reading about metaphysics. There's nothing wrong with this, but I kind of asked myself if I ever missed being able to hope into imagination land. Besides, since I'm working to improve my storytelling skill, where else to start than reading novels by other authors?

Then I started to remember how much of a bookworm I was as a kid. I start to think about how I was a kid and thought that I just read whatever I wanted. There's no restrictions at all! As kids we felt the amount of possibilities are endless. When did that disappear? When we listened to others who said it's impossible is my belief. The worst part is when we started to believe them.

Everything is definitely possible. The more you tell yourself that, the more true it will become. It changes the outlook on life, and then never again will you think any less of your ability. It can seem difficult but it's really not impossible. It takes effort to get over an old habit but, speaking from experience, it's by no means impossible. It's all in the mind/head. I repeat that it's not impossible! It's very very possible! Trust me when I say that the moment you kick an old habit and improve with a new, you may say "that wasn't hard at all" and head for improving other faucet of your life.

 I find that there is always something I can work on :3 That's why it seems like there's so much to do! A lot of the work is inner though. Well, actually everything comes from within, it's the putting it out there part that is the work.

What's a bit strange is I feel that I'm doing nothing at all lol

Okay, I'm rambling. I said my words of encouragement and also started my plans. If I can't complete everything then so be it. I'll just get back to it some other time.
