AUGH CLASSES.

I already know I won't be able to get into Quick Sketch; it has one spot left (19/20), and this is just, what, an hour or less after it had shown 17/20? Damn. D: Lee White is a great teacher. I keep thinking of how much I learned (and how much fun I had) in his Image Manipulation class winter 2008.

BUT, this means I can replace it with Experimental Sketchbook, which will be a lot of fun. Amy Ruedinger is another ridiculously awesome teacher. The times for Quick Sketch and Experimental Sketchbook clash (both are from 12:45-4:30 on Thursdays next term), so I can go with my original choice. 10/20 so far.

Upper division Creative Writing looks good so far: 9/18. I can get it!

Also, something I realized: I really shouldn't put Intermediate Modeling off until summer term, because summer term is shorter than the other three terms in a year. I should probably just take it next term... but I'll talk with Liz about what the workload of my classes will be like depending upon what I'd like to take. If I am to put it off, I'll put it off for fall term.

I still need to retake 2D Animation, which takes place on Monday mornings from 8:00 - 11:45.

I realize one thing that could possibly help my sleep cycle during a school term is if I were able to take all afternoon classes.... But that's not likely to happen.

ACK WHY IS STORYBOARD PRACTICALLY ONLY OFFERED AT NIGHT?!

ANGRY FACE. D:<

I WANT AFTERNOON STORYBOARDIN'.

Er, what would TRULY help my sleep cycle is if I stopped taking so many naps (though I've been good about this recently), used my time efficiently for homework, walked and rode my bike more regularly (I typically get out to walk or bike on nice days), and... blaaah, I don't know.

HAPPY-NAPPY PILLS!

And an adorable icon of my precious Gimpy. <3

Good luck getting all your classes! It's so annoying when there's only one spot left, but you have a few hours before you can register.

Having all afternoon classes does work best for sleep, but it is definitely difficult to get.

And it's smarter not to take naps and do homework (I did that today! ^__^), but sometimes, you just want to SLEEP.

GIMPYA! <3 (lol, that's how I typed it)

*hug* Thanks, Kat! I hope I can work up a schedule that isn't too taxing, but one which also has full credit hours. The interest on my loan jumped from 8% to 12% because I'm taking just three classes this term; Dad was wigging out over it. =P

I hope I can get all afternoon classes one of these terms!

AUGH I KNOW. The urge to sleep is especially strong after morning classes. 0__o

lol, GIMPYA! It's like... the Land of Gimpy-Kitties. Or something.

*hug* You're welcome, twin! Oh wow, I didn't know that your loan's interest went up because you're part time. But that's the best balance- full time, but not too crazy.

You just feel it in your eyes and body, and you are like, MUST LIE DOWN. 0__o

Haha, I think that works.

Agreed. I'll just never take five classes at a time again. First two terms, and that's it. It's too much for me to handle.

You can't fight it, and you lie down thinking, I'll just nap for a half hour.... - AND FOUR HOURS LATER, you wake up, and think, Shit. XD

It's best to understand your limits.

Haha. XD I don't think I've accidentally taken a nap that is that long, but it usually takes me awhile to wake up from naps.

Oh, I've done it several times. I really should just set my alarm if I plan to nap for only a half hour or and hour. But sometimes, I wake from my naps on time and feel refreshed and eager to work. Other times... I feel like a slug. XD

But setting alarms don't always work. I almost always set my alarm when I'm taking naps, and I end up waking up to the alarm, but falling back to sleep. I don't often feel that refreshed from my naps, but I'm glad you do. I mostly feel like a slug. XD

WHOOO!!!! Yeah!!! you go for it and get that creative writing spot!!! X3 ddoooo eeeettt!!!! /cheer cheer!

And i'm sorry you can't has quick sketch ;_;

And taking maya over summer isn't so bad. I did it and the teachers all realize they loose a week and work around it really well. Basically means some assignments will over lap a bit. which just means you'll be working on it continuously which you would do anyway cause it's maya.... X3 yush.

*salutes* I SHALL DO EET! I MUST FULFILL ZEE WRITING URGE! :D

Baah, it's alright. I'll take it later on. It'll probably be great for helping drawing skills in general, eh?

lol, Yeah, that's true. I first took 3D Modeling & Animation II summer 2008, and for a while it didn't seem too bad. I just didn't spend as much time on it as I should have, but I didn't have Maya at home at that time, either. Having Maya at home helps a lot. :P
