work and school baby!

So far this week I've been such a good girl.

Sunday I worked at Pirate a little, but spent the rest of the day finishing an English essay.
Monday I read for 7 hours straight, trying to catch up on the readings for my American Lit class.
Yesterday I spent 14 hours in front of a computer at Pirate-- all I did the whole time was tutorials. My brain was really hurting by the time I got home. Last night I couldn't sleep well because I kept thinking about the tutorials and about the model I'm working on. When I woke up this morning, my thoughts picked up where they left off.

So now I'm passing time in the hour break I have between classes. I'm not really looking forward to the rest of today. I'm so tired, but I have to bus/walk back to pirate, pick up my bike, and ride it back home. Then I'll have to somehow stay awake long enough to study for the three tests I have on Friday. Just thinking about it makes me want to go to sleep.

Super Bright-Sides:
1) I'm being a good girl-- keeping up with school and work
2) There's nothing to eat at Pirate. Yesterday I didn't get to each much, so today I woke up with a really flat tummy. I celebrated by wearing a low-collar, skin-tight shirt.
3) If I can keep up this pace, two mucho cool things could happen:
-- I might get XSI SoftImage Certified
-- I'd be ahead of my classes, so the end of the semester will be a breeze

Bad side:
1) I never see phillypie!
2) tired
3) No social life. ASG is getting harder and harder to go to.

TANGENT:

I'm still thinking about my model. After I finish modeling it, I have to texture, rig, and animate it by the end of this month! Eeeeeek! Okay, so it's already the 6th and I haven't even finished modelling. What's worse is that I don't even know how to rig or animate yet. :( I have to learn in a super hury, hence the tutorials. However, the tutorials are freaking LONG! There are 4 of them that I'm trying to get through. They cover a ton of material. But yesterday I spent 14 hours on the first one and I only completed about 80%. On top of that, I was lost on certain parts, so I'll have to look at them again after I've tried to figure out how to do that stuff on my own. Hay carramba! So like, lets say the rest of the tutorials are 15hrs each. That means I have 45 hours of tutorials left to watch before I can go back to working on my model again!!! Ahhhhhhhh! I'm soooo worried that I won't finish my animation by the end of this month. I think I'll cut down on time by giving him a real quickly done texture. I'll just put some cool lights in the scene to cover up my hasty texturing job or something. I don't know where else I can cut corners though. :( Booo hooo hooo!
