The Craziness that is my Week

So this week has been a bit hectic. Fine Arts is due on Monday, presentation boards for Motion were due Thursday, then final storyboards due Friday, and board-a-matics are due Monday. 

The only good things are 1) my concept for Motion is biased around solid shapes and text. 2) My Fine Arts teacher liked the test piece I brought in on Thursday.

So let the craziness be explained.

Okay, my animation concept for this Sarasota Film Festival commercial was approved, then I do the first set of boards of Thursday and they don’t like it at all. Then I propose something later on in the day, don’t like that. Then a new plan on Friday, Jill doesn’t like it. 

Oh my goodness I wanted to hit something. One minute it’s good the next it isn’t and when someone does like it, another teacher hates it.

Finally I came up with something that Jill will just have to deal with as the boards were due in the template on the webshare by 6 pm to be emailed to the client at 6:05. I got mine in, my partner didn’t get his in...

Moving on to Fine Arts.

This concept is basically cover wooden balls in paint and roll them down a ramp onto a piece of paper. There are some things that they bump against (4 sculptures that represent a different block in my life that has been over come). It worked well. I got done 8 small ones and 6 large ones.

What the process looked like. 

The crit. is on Monday - tomorrow. I went to hang them up and prepare it all in the room today since I don’t think I will get a normal lunch time since we are meeting with the client tomorrow in Motion.

Close up on one of the large ones.

I go over there and the door is locked. I call Public Safety (teacher said to do so) and get no answer. I leave a message and wait. And wait, and wait, and wait. 

They didn’t show after half an hour, so I left.

I sent off an email to the teacher asking if we can set up in the room across from us (was open and empty but has classes in there) and have yet to get a reply.

Wonderful.

On top of all this we only have 4 weeks left of school and we have yet to schedule classes for next term. We don’t even know what classes are available or any dates for when we do sign up. It’s a mess.

But there was some good this week.

Since last week was my birthday, my friends thought that cookies weren’t enough of a celebration since I give them cake and a special dinner. Therefore they were taking me out to eat (even though I had to drive).

We went to Olive Garden all fancy (Yule Ball was last week too and we couldn’t do the after ball outing so were combining the events).

Us at diner.

There were 10 of us all fancy for diner (everyone was looking at us) and the first thing is that one of our waiters offers a free sample of wine to those of age. Everyone was very excited for me to try it (me being the only one old enough) and I did. 

It was nasty.

Okay, some would find it good but I hated it. Not even a real portion of the free sample and I was grabbing my water. Only three of my friends saw me doing it and talked me through it, everyone else was really upset they missed it.

Lots of bead sticks, salad, and chicken parm later we were done. Kind of. Our waiters came out with a little dessert for me with a candle and they were all singing. It was nice.

Carlos took this of me as they all sang.

We finally left (they all payed for me too) and back at the Quads there was a cake too. We didn’t eat much of it since we were all still full and everyone left soon after to get work done. I also had to leave to get to anime club which I was late for. I ended up falling to sleep for part of it too. Oops.

And that brings us to today. Waiting for an email from my Fine Arts teacher, trying to get done a board-a-matic, doing laundry. Fun, fun, fun. -_-
