2 Weeks Down!

As week 2 has come to an end, I try not to cover my computer in pencil lead that is all over my hands that I'm too lazy to wash off right now.

I have just finished my first assignment for Story boarding class. Finally.
Not one of my favourite assignments, Ive basically been putting it off repeatedly until now.

I have work tomorrow and Monday which I'm not looking forward to at all.
I guess the trouble with starting a new job is not knowing how to do everything completely.
I HATE IT!
At least at Blockbuster, I knew how to do almost every function, and I knew how to deal with every situation. Now, I have to re-learn everything and it's a lot more complicated this time around.
I've been going over things in my head, I know the basics of what I'll be facing, but I also feel that when it comes down to it, under the pressure of the line ups and angry customers, I'll forget everything.
Another thing that bugs me about Ikea is how friggin' huge it is. There are SO many people working there, and yet its so hard to ask for help if I need it. Because it's so busy everyone is doing something, and can rarely come help me, or if they do, it takes a little bit in which the customer will be giving me an evil stare.

Here's hoping my first few days of working on my own go smoothly and without problems.

I'm starting to get to know the people in my class more and more each day.

Hockey starts this week. Ive finally paid so now it's official. I have to play. Let's see how this goes with school work and what not. Also having my early day the morning after hockey will be fantastic.

Oh! I wonder if the Rocky movies continue this weekend from last weekend.
I really do enjoy Rocky Balboa thoroughly. What a guy.

As Promised, pictures of my studio.

That's my desk.


The other side of the room.

Colourful eh?


Yo Adrienne. That's for you. ;)

Later days.

Happy Bluestein Day!

Today was 'wear blue day' in honour of one of our teachers, David Bluestein.

And wouldn't you know it, he wore a bright green shirt today.
Everyone heckled him with 'Greenstein! Greenstein!'

His response, 'I didn't get the email, guys!'

Then he reworked one of my drawings into something awesome. What a guy.
Takes him like 2 mins to draw something amazing, even in just rough it blows my mind.

One day...

Tomorrow is 80's day...I don't know what I'm going to wear...
There is also a soccer game after school, students vs. faculty. Should be fun to watch, because me and running don't mix.

Till tomorrow.

Later days.

P.s. I also have pictures of my animation desk finally, but I have yet to upload them. Tomorrow if I get a chance.

Superman!

And....we watched The Iron Giant.

It was amazing.

The end.

Spirit Week

So this week is Spirit Week in the Animation department.

A new event every day, lots of food, festivities and fun to be had by all.
It's my day off school and I'm still going in! Hows that for dedication?

Today is favourite t-shirt, wacky hat or sports jersey day.
Followed by a secret screening of an animated movie tonight. I want to know what it is!!

Should be fun!

Later days

First week DONE!

One week down, I don't even know how many to go.

As you know, I couldn't stop talking about how excited I was for school to start.
As Tuesday rolled around I felt nothing but butterflies. Well, that was pretty much how every day this week started for me.
Starting something new is always a challenge, even if I am super excited about it. When it comes down to actually doing it, I get really anxious until I'm in the situation.

The beginning of the week was a bit harder than the end, but I must say, by the end of the week I had a permanent smile on my face just knowing where I was. In animation, finally.
Now, instead of being excited about starting school, I'm excited about my art improving, and all the possibilities there are. Each day, our teachers tell us stories about all the amazing adventures their jobs have taken them on. All the people they have met over the years. I want to have that too.

I'm proud of myself for taking everything seriously right from the start.
Ive already stayed for extra life drawing twice, that's once more than I did in all of Art Fundamentals. Tuesday and Wednesday I was at school from 9am to 8 or 9:30pm.
Having my own little studio/desk makes it so much easier to stay and work on assignments.
I'll post some pictures once Ive had a chance to take some.
The people in my class seem nice, and I look forward to the 3 years of getting to know them.

I'm glad I'm not the oldest person in my class!

This blog has kind of been all over the place, but I must end it now so I can go work on some more homework.

Here's a skeleton rotation I did on Wednesday. Kinda sucky, but we still have time to work on them. I like how he gets bigger as he goes on, and his head gets smaller.



Later days.

Schoolz

Omg, blog!

First of all, it's been too long.
So much has happened worthy of blogging about, but I have had no motivation to do so.

School is in 2 days!!!
It's finally here and I'm still just as excited about it as I was before. If not more!

Ok...quick run down of some things that have happened:

-Lost my job at bbv.
-Had 3 weeks 'off'
-3 interviews later, Ikea hired me.
-Couple shifts in, realized how difficult of a job it really is
-Got my new macbook! woot woot!
-Haven't gained any weight!! (haven't lost any either)
-Went to the Ex and watched my friends eat deep fried butter.

Hmm...what else? Cant think of anything.
Anyways, now that school is finally starting, I'm hoping to update this blog with some art as I go.
So we'll see.

Anyways, I've got lots of iTuning to do so I must get back to that.
I'll be back soon.

Later days.
