I know I haven’t been having the best month and it’s been real tough to keep positive. Everything that could go wrong, has. It’s been a complete train wreck and it’s just been piling up. I’m getting overwhelmed. Monday night, I wanted to finish up the lat bit of my animation project before class Tuesday. I go to check my work from my thumb drive and turns out, it’s COMPLETELY BLANK. I have no idea what happened or how it happened. I was mortified! I spent all of the night trying to figure it out and that cut into my sleep schedule. To take a break from all the built up frustration, I continued to work on my group project. I got frustrated with that because my laptop was running severely slower than normal. I decided to take a break and move back to recovering my animation project. This time, it didn’t want to open AT ALL. Just my luck, right? I gave up all together and hoped for the best in the morning. Hoping and praying that I saved it on one of the desktops at school. AND thankfully, it was!
As much as animation was a struggle for me this month, I can honestly say I’ve learned a lot. I figured out how to mulnipulate every little bit of movement. I’ve also learned to take risks and try new things out. I’ve also learned to ask for help. That’s why your professors are there day in and day out teaching us specific material. I’ve learned not to be so tough on myself. I am a budding designer and shouldn’t expect my work to be overly magnificent. I’m surprised at my level of technique now because I had no idea how to work a Mac computer and not to mention the least tech savvy child in my family. And with this generation, that’s saying something.
I just want to show appreciation for something I was dreading before it even began. Don’t let your pre requisitions keep you from learning. As hard as it may seem, keep an open mind and light heart and it’ll always work out.
Until next time,
