Let's Start with the Schedule

This year at Ringling is going okay so far - I guess.

Let’s start with my schedule shall we? Now it you think you have bad Mondays, you’re wrong. Mine start at 7:20 to eat and get ready for a class I get to at 8 that starts at 8:30 (I like to do the finishing touches at that time). That class ends at 11:15 (Concept), then lunch, another class at 12:30 to 3:15 (Design), the a third from 3:30 to 6:15 (Fine Arts), a quick dinner, a forth class from 7:00 to 9:45 (Biodiversity), then call home and work on animation homework till 3 or 4 am.

Yeah, I hate Mondays. And I'm not the only one.

These 2 always fall to sleep in Design, no matter what we're doing.

Every other day is easy in comparison. Tuesdays and Fridays are only animations at 3:30, Thursdays are the same as Mondays without Bio, and Wednesdays are completely free.

I also have Ministry of Magic (MoM), Anime Club both of which I am very involved in (actually run anime club). In MoM we are organizing a Yule Ball for the beginning of November. We had one last year in February as already have a lot of the stuff. For anime club we wish we had more people (only about 5) while we meet once a week for 6 hours (Saturday nights 7pm-1am) and just watch anime the whole time. I also organize a weekly dinner in our on-campus apartments on Sunday nights with all our friends so we can get together and also so I can pull them out of the labs and get some fresh air. 

I mother them a lot. Can’t help it.

So far classes are, eh. My Concept teacher made me think I was okay, then shot me down with little warning, my Design teacher made me feel like an insect everyday as he ripped apart my type layouts then turned around and said that I was one of the people who understood it the most. What? 

My first project in Fine Arts dealt with fabric as the main medium and I don’t think the teacher knew anything about it so it’s been easy. In Bio, the teacher realizes we’re at an art school so doesn’t bother giving us tests and quizzes, just asks for a blog post every now and again.

My FA project when it was almost completely done.

Then there is animation, so simple to me. I don’t understand how some people can have so many problems with the basic aspects. I guess I just get it, but it makes the class a little slow at times.

∆ My cube in 3D space with After Effects. I was the only one to build it during the animation.

So there you have it, my schedule and classes for the week - mostly.
