Started a Nuzlocke challenge in Platinum!
Started off alright, got a female starter! Which is weird, thought I’d get stuck with a male starter (87.5% chance after all). Named my rival Tony. After Iron Man of course. LOL yeah I usually name my rivals after guys I like in real life. Like I named my other rival uh, Richard, because Richard Grayson. Dick sounds weird, Robin is like a girl name. Well maybe it’s unisex. Whatever....

waitlisted for animation
well damn, i’ll be honest. out of the possibilities I was thinking of regarding the animation application, I wasn’t expecting to be waitlisted. we’ll see how this goes…
i guess i just wanted a straight yes or no- not maybe if. now it’s like hinging on possibly yes, but probably no. i mean, who would turn down an offer to be in animation? well… hopefully...

so impressed with traditional animators
I’m not that great with shooting; like srsly. Even though I went and shot all my scenes for the animation, I ended up photoshopping a lot of the pictures so that they turned out how I wanted, or to add some extra movement like the beak opening up. Shhhhh don’t tell the teacher! It’s supposed to be traditionally done… but omg it was impossible. So much respect for ppl at...

Asking for help in class...
There’s an ironic oxymoron here, I know it. Here’s the thing in design class. Our teacher is trying to teach us how to be critical of our own works, so that we have an eye for this sort of thing, and we can fix up things by ourselves when we go out into the design world. This makes sense- except when you’re asking for help at the end of the semester.
First of all, you’re...

Omg so relieved
I finally got the acceptance for the internship, although it’s only for half the summer, and I am happy that I can finally say I got it yay ;A;
Also I finally finished the journalism project, which went pretty well. They liked bits and pieces of it, and it’s just not cohesive, which was the main problem we had and I brought up. Overall I can relax a bit now
headdesk
sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh[[MORE]]
that internship is looking less likely by the minute. so i had the phone interview last week, and he said he’d give out results by thursday or friday. it came and went, and nothing, so I e-mailed him on monday (a week from phone interview) asking about it. he replied saying he emailed out all applicants about the push back of results, but forgot to include me...

You take a deep breath and relax — because you’ve got this! :) Not sure how your interviews work, but just be prepared to talk about anything on your resume!

Reflecting upon back in the day
I remember in 3rd grade (or something) when we used AIM, I would always set my font to be Comic Sans MS. I really liked this font, it’s playful and round, and I loved it to pieces. Sometimes I would try out new fonts, but eventually I would return back to Comic Sans. I was probably sheltered or something, but I feel like all of a sudden in high school, everyone hated Comic Sans. I...

i’m so friggin done with this olympics thing. for the past month or so in design class, we’ve been designing a campaign for the olympic logo. and i came up with a logo that is cool, by itself, but my teacher says is too “spa-like” for the olympics. and i’ve edited this way and that, that way and this, and it’s still so friggin spa like??? i’m so done. i...

this is really really horrible. i’m like, paying attention to only half the things going on and switching. like, doing some design homework, then working on an internship cover letter, then switching to updating my portfolio online, then watching a video online, back to design, portfolio, internship, design, internship, portfolio, design……….
also, this one internship I was...

ughhh
references. hmmmmmmmm. i have none. i have professors that would be willing to write recommendations for me, but like. a reference is different isn’t it? it’s also gotta be someone who knows your working capabilities as well as your educational knowledge. why. i’ve never held a job :<
sigh. hold off on applying to all sony internships now because of this.

Never too much Wreck-it Ralph
hehehe bought the blu-ray at costco for $25! :D
The Gamer’s Guide was kind of a disappointment because- HEY I knew most of that stuff. It wasn’t really a nerdy thing either, didn’t point out everything and all the games, it just pointed out some stuff that was like- watch out for these types of things, but go look for it yourself! Meh. Plus I had to pause to watch it. Hm, I...

It’s already day 2! D: how can time fly by so quick? I’ve barely settled down in Cupertino, it feels like. I spent nearly all of yesterday looking at new computers, because I want to upgrade it (thanks Jason for answering all my questions for like, all of yesterday). He showed me some pretty cool computers, too, like alienware by Dell, or this other computer I don’t recall, but...

Awkwardly enough
I was looking at this one company that makes games, and I was like. Never heard of them. Don’t think they make any popular games (and thus have high standards like Disney or something), but their qualifications were kind of intense. So I went to see what kind of games they’ve produced, and lo-and-behold they flipping made the League of flipping Legends. So Riot Games makes LoL. Now I...

Advisement and Career Fairs
Wow my life for the next two years just got planned out on paper. Classes anyways. Got to include all my Fine Arts requirements, plus some business classes for Communication Design minor, plus all the animation classes for the (potential) animation minor. I had asked my advisor about when I might possibly hear back from the Animation department about the minor (and major). He couldn’t say,...

yay my package arrived!
WOO I ordered all this stuff from Express, and I received them today! This morning has been filled with posing in front of a mirror (no one else was here :P), but I’m pretty happy with my stuff. Only complaint would be that the leather shoes look cheap (leather’s thin/cheap looking, metal buckles look rusty/scratched), for something that would have cost me $60, but I got them for like...
thanks
cx882 replied to your post: Crap.
Shoot them an email with the missing materials, or to explain.
thanks, always the voice of reason :P sadly disney is dumb and their contact information only includes mailing addresses… no e-mail, no phone. hmmm I guess I can try looking some more. after i finish hw.
Crap.
I clicked ‘apply for position’ on one of the Disney Internships, but I didn’t realize that meant ‘submitted’. I didn’t gather all my materials yet. Shoot. Um. Uh. @_@ WHAT DO I DOOOOO THERE’S NO BUTTON TO TAKE BACK MY APPLICATION!?! ALSO THEY SAID I NEED TO SUBMIT A RECOMMENDATION LETTER ONTO MY PROFILE BUT THERE’S NO BUTTON/PLACE TO UPLOAD IT?! ALSO...

Shopping @ Express
So there’s 30% off at Express for President’s Day weekend. I don’t have a car though, so I can’t go to a store. Online requires shipping, $8. Free shipping for over $125 orders, but come on.
Found a really cute and CHEAP dress! It was 59.90, then on clearance for $19.99, and for some reason in the online cart, it discounted for $9.99! So much want for this dress. I would...

Jump over the bar!
Do I set the bar too high for myself? Lol first, tried transferring majors to SCA’s animation, which apparently, only accepted 2 transfers last year. I’ve met so many people who are applying to animation, and that’s only from within USC, not counting the people I don’t know, and the non-USC transfer applicants. And today, I submitted materials to an internship at Warner...

Major or not...
Applying to the animation major and minor this semester. This semester is my first and last attempt to be part of the animation school here at USC. I really hope I make it in, because I’ll definitely be happier if I get to focus on learning animation, not as a supplement on the side. But even though I’ll be sad if I don’t make it in, I know in my heart that it’s not the end...
