school's finally out (about time) and as usual...it doesn't really feel much different. it's like when you're stuck in it you feel so suffocated but then when you get out it's like the load hasn't really lifted either. then you feel kinda cheated and empty cos there's no legit reason to you feeling so lousy and bummed out :S

Well..what can i say? Life's confusing.

I think I didn't really put in my best this quarter cos i was quite xianed out by everything and 3 studios, 16 projects in 10 weeks is really quite draining. Thank goodness school functions of a 10 week quarter system. My digital page and web professor was very impressed with my website, more so cos it's only my second legit website that's built from scratch (design, coding etc). BUT BUT BUT the thing that made me feel really good about myself was how he said that my website was a grad student's website standard (BOO-YAH!) which is pretty awesome considering how little i know about website design. it just helps to be OCD and obsessed about such things and details. I really like web designing. it's fun with the coding. makes you feel smarter than other people for once. HAHAHA.

Second awesome thing is for my final project in my other class, my professor decided to submit it into another competition. YAY!

She found my work to have a nice balance of playfulness and professionalism which is very great. The best thing that can happen to you in a critique is have everyone try and find something bad about the work just because it's so good and it's happened to me multiple times in that class. I think with this motion graphics class (ironically without the motion. we're just designing still frames and concepts) I really pushed myself and broke out of my usual vector graphic style which is great cos i'm quite happy to see a different kind of work in my portfolio :)
