I AM FREE.

Okay, temporarily, at most.

You guys don't know all the sh*t I did for these few weeks. I had to rush out 20 Graphic Design ideas (which at least, I enjoyed, albeit now I realize I screwed up the whole submission in my whole frantic rush to compile everything inside the CD using my old, coughing, I-don't-know-what-else-to-say laptop. The only person who can understand my pain is Adora-unnie, whom I bugged (then gave up bugging) regarding my Graphic Design. But anyway, it's over. Albeit I screwed it up ultimately even though it was looking so good in the beginning!

And then, I had to draw out 70 frames of a bouncing ball. Yes, I had to animate it. It's like the traditional animation-sorta thing, where you draw everything frame by frame. So if the person moves the hand, you have to show her slowly stretching out her hand and moving it up - before you play it fast on computer and have it run smoothly. Yes, pretty much all those tedious stuffs. I stayed back almost every other day just to draw out a really complex background (I WAS SO STUPID I SWEAR) and it took all the time I had, serious. AND THEN, to make things worse, I realize, towards the end, all my lines are off so my things are out of place. I screamed the expletive (we all befriend the F word without us really wanting to, sometimes) really loud because I was so exhausted and now they gave me this crap. So I had to stay back even more just to draw out the lines properly, and then I realized I couldn't erase the lines properly, so I had EXTRA works to do on photoshop to erase out the lines.

I thought I was free, so free to play my games, write stories and whatever, but no.

Life is just so hard.

My cool and awesome drawing teacher, Mr Jimmy, just had to tell me I have a digital painting due on the week I am in Taiwan. This. Is. Just. Fabulous.

Thanks for being awesome, Mr Jimmy.

Previously, he kept on telling us it will be due on 'Week 16', which is like a month away and he told us to 'take it easy'. Then, suddenly, three days ago, he came with the shocker -  it's due next Friday and I pretty much haven't done a single crap for it and I'm flying off for Taiwan like, tomorrow. Digital painting is really, really time-consuming. By the time I fly back, the deadline will be over. LOL. And no way in hell am I doing my work while I'm on my vacation. My parents would be so upset, and I can't do that to them. So, I decided to just screw with it. Maybe I'm not meant to be in this course, who knows? I'm just going to go with the flow and do what I like, my own way. /rebellious

Anyway, Mr Jimmy is actually a really cool teacher so I was praising AND being sarcastic at the same time. I enjoy his lessons. It's really easy but at the same time he tries to help us in our drawings, the way I like them to be. I am the sort of person who, in chinese, "prefers soft over hard". I like it when things are easy and I ACTUALLY FREAKING IMPROVE IN MY DRAWING then previously when I had a really strict teacher and I was so scared and my works looked like dump. And, with Mr Jimmy, I actually LIKE digital painting. I have been thinking about being a digital painter, actually. He's really cool and he bonds with my class really well. He's fun to be around and he doesn't act his age. But when he starts doing his digital paintings - it's like. You are stumped. Pretty much. He's that good. He's good. And fast. I wish he will do my work for me so I can submit it early.

I feel like ranting all these perplexing emotions to someone, but I don't know who is free to listen to my blabber.

Either way, I really missed all you guys. I always log into AFF everyday just to see what you guys are doing albeit I don't reply and stuff.

I want to talk to all you guys again! I'll look through my wall to see whom I've yet to reply.

But if you want to talk to me (MORE LIKE I'M BEGGING YOU GUYS TO TALK TO ME XD OMG SO DESPERATE.) then please leave a comment or whatever. :3
