Long Update

Long update this time.

So finals came and went. I got an A in World Cinema and a B in Sequential. I wrote a cool piece on Persepolis and Iranian cinema, which was a lot of fun. Finished my comic for sequential a bit late but the whole class book is put together and ready to be published! If you want to buy a copy, just check here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2113857818/game-boss-the-final-form-anthology Mines the one about Luchadors :)

Spring break came and went. I got to meet my boyfriend (Carter)'s mom, who was really cool. We had a great weekend. I feel so happy when I think about him and all the time we've been together. I can't wait to see him again~

Right at the beginning of this quarter was the Career Fair and I'll be honest, I wasn't too interested this year. I had hoped to meet ReelFX there but they didn't come, so I ended up just going home. There wasn't much for 3d animation there.

That evening my grandma had went into cardiac arrest and collapsed, so this past week I flew back out to texas and spent pretty much the whole time in the hospital. She wasn't really expected to make it but she  managed to pull through. She is still in a really fragile state though. I feel so exhausted though after it all. I can only hope to continue to do well in school now and make her proud when she recovers. I feel brief in talking about it now because I've had to tell so many people the story already lol


Anyway this quarter is Character Look Development which turned out to be a 3d texturing class (which is a lot more interesting that what I thought it was going to be- a character development course). By interesting I mean it being something I dont know much about. The prof is really cool and has been a professional in the movie industry and is really strict. I'm doing the old lion model from last year's 3d Collab Course (which was a big failure for me as i spectacularly burned out like a bag of garbage entering earth's orbit. ...Long story.)


My other class is Animation Studio II which is basically continuing working on my thesis. Mrs. Moorshead is super nice, and is probably one of my favorite professors here. She's really friendly and approachable. I hope I can get this insane paper done by the end of this quarter so I can focus on animation over the summer.



5 more months till graduation!
