It is 8am, and I’ve just awoken to what is known as my “day off.” On Sunday, I don’t have school or work, so I am free to stay home and… work on school work. This is, of course, providing that I don’t have other errands to run. I am in good company with fellow students Cindy and Emma, in that we all have rather pressing schedules and to-do lists.
Mine looks something like:
Today I MUST:
- match up background art and character art for ~20 animation frames.
- start and complete a 11 x 17″ typography poster project.
- sketch 20-30 potential web interfaces (I have 3 projects on the go at the moment, only one is for school).
- pick one and start to mock it up in Photoshop (for the school project).
Today I REALLY SHOULD:
- take 12 sequential photos, live trace them, import them into Flash and make a rotoscope.
- ink and start to colour my drawing for my Editorial illustration project.
- come up with 3 objects to make in 3D that “tell a story.”
- record audio for the animation mentioned under list 1, bullet point 1.
And then, some 5 or 6 tiers down you would find:
OPTIONAL:
- Eating.
- Showering.
- Socializing.
- Cleaning nuclear disaster zone that is my bedroom.
There really just isn’t enough time! Of course, you all should ignore the fact that I have taken time to blog about this, and to post on a forum. I need some relaxation time, really. I will get back to my many projects in a minute… or maybe I’ll go watch a movie.
If THAT’s what your day off looks like, I really don’t envy the days you deem to be work/school days. D:
Sucks to be a student sometimes, doesn’t it? TBH though I think I prefer this to actually working for a living
Oh, wow, that is a lot. D:
I don’t have any days off, so it’s hard to juggle everything I have to do. I don’t even know Sunday will be like until Saturday, so it’s a gamble to leave stuff until Sunday.
But, you know, I don’t have nearly as much to do! I hope you can get it all done without your brain exploding.
Wow, that’s a lot.
I’m dreading the end of April when my first major exams start; I tend to skive a lot, but then I won’t be able to. And next year will be a lot harder, and I’ll never be able to get away with skipping homework like the lazy person I am…ugh. Goodness knows how I’ll survive in university, assuming I actually get in when I apply in a couple of years. :L
You JUST blogged, how am I supposed to keep up with this? D:
I have already expressed my feelings about your 6 projects for 5 classes. I am not jealous one bit.
Oy, good luck! I’m — well, in the same boat as you with regards to the whole busy-student life. Hope you get all your projects done!
