I had a bunch of strange dreams last night, but there's only one in particular I can remember now...there was some strange time paradox affecting the world, and I was in a huge building complex (those pop up frequently in dreams...) with a ton of other people, like at a school. This time paradox was basically "redoing" a particular day in time, and was giving each person one chance, and one chance only, to fix one particular thing that had gone wrong that day. And the date was 9/11.
Except I was clearly not in New York, but someplace like Los Angeles instead, and while my brain was connecting 9/11 = terrorist attack, the disaster was more like a huge fire or bombing, possibly both. Which I suppose would be appropriate for LA. -_- So everyone was running around trying to find and fix the One Thing that they could while the time paradox allowed it, like saving their loved ones and such. Somehow, I missed my One Chance to fix whatever it was that needed fixing...like, I saw a huge door swing open for me, and I just knew it was meant for me to walk through and change something outside...but I went out and couldn't figure out what it was that I had to do, so I just went back inside because it was all fire and smoke. But somehow I wasn't worried, because I knew this day had already taken place and I'd already told my family where to meet them and stuff. So even though I was trapped in this building with hundreds of yelling people and fire outside, I wasn't worried because this was just part of the time paradox and I knew I had already survived it.
...And then I found a submarine somewhere in the building, which helped me get away. And it made perfect sense for there to be a submarine there because I knew it would be there because it already happened so I was able to...guh...

Yeah, WTF, brain. D: I woke up feeling very confused and kind of disturbed. What would that kind of thing even mean?

Err, yeah, the rest of my week...

So, I've had most of my classes so far...sculpture got canceled on Monday, so we'll have to have our first class for that tomorrow. We have Jeremy again for Lighting and Rendering 1, and he's a nice guy, but I can tell I'm gonna have to do a lot of work in that class. At least this stuff I can apply most everywhere...

My Character Animation teacher seems like a fun guy, although like our first Animation teacher, he tends to kinda get excited and ramble on about all kinds of different things before actually getting to the teaching part. But what's cool? He's worked as a cleanup artist on The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Enchanted. 8D *amaaaazed*

And we also had Character Skinning yesterday, which also looks like it's going to be quite a bit of work...but maybe now I can get lion!Sora working for an animation. Our teacher somehow looks like a member of a boy band, I swear. Except he talks very quietly and quickly, and the subject matter includes a lot of technobabble...not a very good combination.

So today we have ZBrush all together...we'll see how that goes!


And finally, I intend to go buy PW: Trials and Tribulations on Tuesday. XD

Drawing: I've been in the middle of this huge art funk lately...I start all kinds of projects, yet it's very difficult for me to finish them. I can't tell what's holding me back, but I've just been feeling so artistically constipated and frustrated lately. Like I'm not learning and growing fast enough. I don't know what to do...

Writing: Nothing really.
