Well, what's due?
I have a 15 page paper that is due! It's my first fifteen page paper EVER. Yet what I like about it is the fact that it's more of a personal paper. The research is to back up what we write about. I still have to make adjustments and add in information, but I've reached nineteen pages after making the page adjustments that my teacher wants for the paper. In the beginning I felt very stifled and stuck because the teacher let us choose the topic. She constantly told me to stop worrying and write. This took me so long to get over! Eventually I made it. Now I need to gather up a few more sources to add to my bibliography. I only have tomorrow, but I'm going to do my best not to stress. As long as I have something I think it will be okay.
I also have three characters I have to completely model, rig and pose. This one is a bit more tricky, but if I manage my time wisely I should be able to complete two of the three characters. Everything isn't due until next Wednesday and Thursday, but I'm not gonna wait until than.
I'll also continue with my webcomic beginning next Saturday (I hope!). Yet I'm gonna hold off one putting a pencil to paper until I feel more confident in my class finals begin complete.
Overall I'm pretty happy. I did slack a bit this quarter, but not so much so that I didn't get much of anything done. The thing is is that this quarter I spent the first couple of months getting myself to a decent modeling workflow as the rest of my class. This is what took the most amount of time. The first two and half the of the third month was me literally cramming all kinds of video information and new information from my teachers into my head.
This wore me down like crazy and I was constantly sleepy. Yet, I played video games or watched something funny in order to keep my sanity lol At one point I even had to tell myself that it was okay for me to go and hangout with my sisters and mom every once in a while. One thing I don't want to do is sacrifice my free time and time with chatting with friends and hanging out, with work work work because I feel I could definitely do something like this. When I become passionate about something, and I mean really passionate, I shut myself off from a lot of things just to focus on getting it done.
Most people would think this is good, but it's not worth shutting out your loved ones for the sake of work. This kind of thing has it's pros and cons, but it must be used efficiently and in a balanced manner. This is why I make time to chat with friends. This is why I make time to watch a funny video. Sometimes I feel that if I take a break I'll run out of time, but I imagine if I lose that occupation or that school gets shut down, then what? I couldn't go back there and I'd have to turn my attention to those I turned my back on...unless they decided to leave because I shut them out. These are things I consider.
Now, I do find that if I take a long break it's very difficult for me to find that flow. Sometimes I can't seem to get to work. I know I can, but it takes a bit of time for me to concentrate. I guess this is what I want to avoid if I decide to stop working on something. It's like "will I be able to do decent work like this again?" or "I won't be able to get to that this point, I better take advantage of it!"
So when I'm away without typing a blog for long, it's probably because of something like school lol School is the ultimate reason. I'm usually too tired to type or my mind is too focused on school to type about anything else.
Well, on that note, I'm gonna get ready for bed.
I have quite a few things I'd like to accomplish over break, but I think I'll keep it fairly simple. I seriously owe it to my readers for waiting patiently for me to return to complete my webcomic. So I'll get to that and work on that during break. I'll have to put my other projects on hold.
Until my next Blog
See ya
Mon
