While it's not finalized (at least for me) they've finally passed out our schedules for the summer term! :O So my weeks starting at the end of June will look like this:

Monday
3D Body Paint - 4:00-7:00

Tuesday
Labtime - 1:00-4:00
(???) Character Animation for Games - 4:00-7:00

Thursday
Labtime - 1:00-4:00
Digital Sets - 7:00-10:00

Friday
Career Realities - 12:00-3:00 (assuming?)
ZBrush Texturing/Anatomy - 7:00-10:00

Maya Mods: Hair, Paint and Fur - ?!?!?!?!


Good Things:
- OMG I HAVE A WEEKEND AGAIN, YAAAY. I think this is the first time I've ever had a Saturday OR a Sunday off since...I started this program. XD; Man, that's almost going to be weird getting used to.
- OMG THREE DAYS OFF, YAAAAY. I get Wednesday off as well as the weekend! Who knows if I'll have to use one of those days to come in anyway just to get work done, but if I can manage my time effectively enough then maybe I can save the gas for that day.
- No morning classes, which means no getting up at 6:00! YAAAY.
- We had one digital elective this term, so I asked for the second ZBrush class, just because I enjoyed it and it probably relates the closest to what I want to do. I'm also attempting to switch out my Dynamics 2 class, just because I'm not really all that interested in it, but I don't know if I got my second choice yet, which is why the Character Animation for Games class is (???). I really want to switch it out with figure drawing gesture drawing, but apparently I CAN'T. Ghhhhkkkk.

Bad Things:
- We have another online class, this one being the Hair, Paint and Fur one. I've barely learned a thing from Lighting 2 this term as it is, so I'm wary of another online class. D: I'm hoping that actually having a personal project (the Wolf Spider) will keep me interested enough in it.
- I predict struggling in the Digital Sets and Hair, Paint, Fur classes, and there's nothing really analog or concept-related to offset them, bleh. :P But I'll get through them.
- Our Career Realities class is TBA on the teacher, but I actually hope it's R.T., since he made History of Visual Effects really interesting and knew so much about the industry...but I somehow doubt he will be. :P

So! We'll see how the term goes! o_O Obviously more good things than bad things (which aren't even that bad) is a good start.


I had the absolute creepiest dream last night. D: I dreamed there was some kind of unnatural heat wave all over my neighborhood (even though it didn't look anything like my actual neighborhood) and peoples' skin was being blistered red and burned off everywhere I looked. But everyone was still alive while this was happening, just in terrible pain and exhaustion. And I'd gotten ahold of a water hose and was trying to provide water to this wide variety of heat-burned animals in a garden, which was helping a little, but not much. It was just...really unsettling.


Oh! A little bit of good news: my mom went to see the surgeon today, and he said it wasn't actually a snapped tendon, but it was instead a tear in part of her muscle that was causing the pain. It'll still take a long time to recover from, and she'll have to get a different kind of cast, but at least it doesn't require surgery. So, slightly better! o_o

Drawing: Inked another LG page yesterday, some sketching, but need to get to other stuff...

Writing: RP doom, mwah!
