Day 4
Today was my first full class. It's so much fun! I find that even though I get bored doing crude animations at home, I don't get bored here. Maybe it's because everyone else has such a passion for it. I haven't shaken from my bleak character designing dreams though. One girl in my class does really great ink drawings. We watched a morbid documentary today on a particular type of hand-drawn animation, where instead of drawing each frame, you draw, erase, and draw some more on the same paper. It almost made me fall asleep. The art building is now open after class too for about 3 hrs So I went in with Molly to get some work done on my puppet and in the process, skipped dinner. This prompted us to do some grocery shopping. We met up with our RC and some other girls from our hall on a mission to buy tampons and red food coloring heheheheh. I bought some bread and some muffins.
Day 5
We showed our animations today. My puppet seriously needs fixing. It's moving way too slow and fixing it is going to take a shitload of time. I feel rushed becasue we're starting hand-drawn animation tomorrow. I didn't go in after class to work on my puppet becasue Molly, Amy, and I went to see The Day After Tomorrow, which btw has a really hot guy in it. I read "15 min" parody of it before I saw the movie so I started laughing duirng some parts, but the parody was so true. I twas dark when we headed back and I spent the rest of dthe time thinking up stories for my animation. Oh yea, we also went to Urban Outfitters. I'd never been there before, but wow, I love that store, lot's of cute clothes!
Day 6
We started hand-drawn animation today. The Cappacillo from last night made me nauseous all morning. No more coffee for me. I ended up spending 9 hrs in the art building, geez, I might as well be getting paid. Our refridgerator also finally came. But of course it's this small, old, grimy thing that we're supposed to put food in. Besides this, there's not much else to say. This place is kind of boring, and the people are so clicky. Plus I can never find the ppl that I do know...I find myself longing for home more and more.
