Stella--Marie

Well, I apparently skipped March in my updates on here. WHOOPS. Ehehehe... March was a month of madness for me, mostly because of my internship and classes.

Finals are in two weeks though, so I'll be done soon. Although... a week after I get back home, I'm packing up to go to Washington State for a month to visit some really, really good friends of mine. <3

Life has been GREAT! Editing is my blood, love, and passion now. I'm learning so much in my internship, and it fills me with joy. I'm going to actually be living the dream, and doing what I LOVE for the rest of my life. And it won't be work; it'll be fun.

I've also been learning how to use Photoshop and Flash to create animations, and I should be uploading one in a few weeks. It won't be very long or very special at all, but I'm proud of it so far.

I'll be taking a painting class in the fall, so I shall be uploading more (though I always say this and it never happens).

I guess my updates are monthly now, but it works for me. It's February now, and that means Valentine's Day time to draw some love-themed pictures. I'm trying to get back into drawing for holidays, so I might as well start with this holiday. I'm currently into my character Kat, so it'll probably be here, but maybe Autumn. Who knows.

I want to get better about drawing human anatomy, so I've started doing gesture drawings again. I plan on doing at least 10 a day. It should also help me get out of the habit of such static poses. I'm not sure if I'll upload them yet. I might if something pops out as, "Hey! This would look good as so-and-so."

School's been kicking all of the free time out of my life, but I guess that's what 21 hours of classes will do to a person. The projects are starting to pile up on top of each other, and I imagine it'll get worse as the semester goes on. I'm determined to push through it though.

Life has been a rocky road lately. The university is basically getting rid of the housing for anyone with 30+ credit hours in favor of giving them to the incoming freshman. They set up a "lottery" for anyone over 30 hours to enter. If the person's number is drawn, they get housing. I'm in the last section, so I have the least chance. JOY. If I don't get a housing contract, I might just...move. I'm not sure yet.

I think those are all of my updates for February so far. <3

Well, I've had that important meeting, and it's had a large impact on my schedule.

With the merging of my university with another.... they have decided to get rid of some degree programs. My program's on that list. Luckily, I have the best two film professors EVER. My schedule has been altered so that, while they remain at the university, I'll be able to take their classes.

Spring 2013 Schedule:

Music Appreciation
Information Technologies
Intro to Graphic Design
Post-Production for FIlm
Writing for Film II
Directing for Film II
Internship (ART 4815)

That means I have 21 credit hours this semester + the out-of-class work for the internship (Saturdays/Sundays) + a work study of 138 hours this semester. You know what that entails? I have no free time whatsoever anymore.

I'll still try to update if I can squeeze in some time. I'll definitely be uploading my Graphic Design projects at least. Thinking about getting a subscription to dA...

Whelp, I'm back at school again for the spring semester. Classes start on Monday. I'll have more ramblings about that after I attend a *very* important meeting on Tuesday.

Crocheting! I have been keeping to my word about uploading everything I've finished. Working a bit on amigurumi now because it looks awesome.

More info after the meeting!

Delayed update is delayed. I haven't updated since September. ._. Whoa. Whoopsie.

I've been extremely busy with work, school, and personal things so I've dropped out of playing many web sites and games. I'm not sure when that'll pick up again since I added a larger class load for next semester.

Speaking of, here is the list of classes I have for next Spring:

Music Appreciation
Intro to Graphic Design
Post-Production for Film
Writing for Film II
Directing for Film II
Information Technologies.

I shall also have the work study to complete, which is about 15 hours a week.

I'm learning how to crochet so I can make adorable things, so hopefully, I'll remember to upload when I finish a project.

Final exams are next week, so yay for stressing and cramming for those.

As far as personal things go, I'm still trying to decide what to do when I graduate college. I have a goal in mine, and we'll see if it comes to light. If it does, it'll mean moving as far as possible away in the continental US.
