I can’t sleep right now, I just woke up and now I can’t get back to sleep… I so hate it when that happens and you know you need the sleep.
In any case, I just finished my last shift of the summer yesterday - in two days I put in a good 28.5 hours which is nice, it a good chunk to finish off the summer and give me money, and thus, food for September. It was a frustrating day yesterday though and I’m just glad that it’s over, for now, for summer, whatever.
So that means that school is coming faster than I had realized, I start school on Tuesday (gadzooks!) and I must admit I’m a touch apprehensive about it. I feel like I’m going back into grade 9 again and totally don’t know what to expect knowing that everything is going to be harder than grade 8 y’know? It will be fine though, I know at least a quarter of the people in the course and a pile of second year students so I will slide into place easily.
Now that I’m going back into school I wish the break hadn’t been so long, though. In the beginning of the summer I felt really motivated to keep on top of my drawing and teach myself so that when I got into animation in the fall I would be a step or two ahead of the class - but near the end of July I just ran out of my own steam and took an extended hiatus from drawing for a good month - a month! My figure drawing dropped off before that too which I really regret… I had been working a lot for a bit so I stopped going then work dropped off and I just forgot to start going again.
In any case, I need to get my arse into gear this fall; I want to do really well in animation. I want to really learn how to draw well and stop hindering my learning by my reluctance to actually work things out.
Wish me luck, and fuck, let me get back to sleep.
