come down to lake pontchartrain

SO YEAH I'M ALIVE GUYS.

Sorry about the last entry. Turns out I was fretting for nothing, since on Monday, the day of the hand in, my Tutor informed us that, yes, this is part of our degree grade, but the majority of the marking wont be done till second hand in in February which is where the majority of our grade will come from. So I was working myself up into a state for PRE MUCH NOTHING.

I did get lots of work done though, not as much as I had wanted, but enough. And of course, the Sunday night, the night before hand in, Tumblr decided to commit suicide for over 24 hours, making it impossible for me to update my blog. The blog that I have to hand in as part of my production journal. The blog I actually started BEFORE the hand in unlike my usual rush at the end. JUST MY FUCKING LUCK, NO? If it was going to die, it had to be on that day. I'm moving all my university stuff to Blogspot now, because Tumblr has just been too unreliable, and I cannot afford for it to do that again on an actual IMPORTANT hand in. Which SUCKS because as far as I know, Blogspot doesn't have a backup tool like tumblr does. RHGHN

But yeah, I got the animatic done, and a couple of short animations, but my tutor told me that it did not reflect the amount of time I've had, because of all the stuff I've been struggling with. I'm going to do some work over the winter break to try and get something WORTH handing in, because I cannot let my brain fuck up my degree. I won't let it >:[

If anyone wants to see the animatic for my final film, it's here. Any feedback on stuff you think needs changing would be great. The music was written for us by a second year in the creative sound and music course, but we gave her the wrong animatic to time it to which is why it's a little short.

But yeah now I am recovering from all that stress and I'm back at home with my parents. There's still some snow on the ground, and we decorated the Christmas tree yesterday, and I've spent the majority of my time at home so far with my sister playing half life 2 and portal, and watching Glee. It's really great to be home, and to have not to worry (at least for a little while) about University. It's nice to get back into things I like, like RPing and icon making and drawing for ME, as well as seeing my sister omg I have not seen her in like 3 months sdjkgjkfhd

Man, I cannot WAIT for this degree to be over.

SO I'm home now. Packed as much as I could into my suitcase and almost broke my back around London dragging it, but I'm home.

OF COURSE, I was in such a discombobulated rush the morning i left that I packed up my suitcase, put my computer in my bag, and then left my power cable plugged into the wall. Suffice to say that I don’t have enough battery to last me two weeks 8| I needed to order a new one anyways, so I'm going to call Dell tomorrow and see how much it'll cost me and how long it'll take to get here, so till then I'm confined to my mothers computer which I have to battle my whole family for. It’s also really fucking slow, the keyboard is weird as fuck, and I hate using it so I'll be really scarce till I get my new power cord. I can still check my email and stuff via my ipod, but typing on there is a pain, so I’ll not be around at all in the late evenings :C

I’ll still be tagging and stuff but not as fast as usual (which, lets face it, I’ve been hella slow with ANYWAYS) and I should be back in a week if Dell send me a new cable. If not, then see you sometime after the 28th 8|

ugh I hate internet explorer so much. give me my firefox lj logins and spellcheck back ;A;


at least I have an excuse to start a new game on Twilight Princess 8|a

Just a quick update to tell you all that I'm safely at home and not only did I play Mario Kart on the Wii with my mom till 11pm, but me and my rents just spent the last hour and a half singing really really badly to old 80's hits. Really badly. And really loudly. I have no longer got my voice.

Fuck yes we're so cool.


I definitely needed this break. Tomorrow I get to make a list of all my manga books and email them to a store in London who is going to buy them off of me. Yay \o\

K ILU ALL STAY COOL.

(sob i hate using internet without firefox spellcheck ;;)
