You can check out my last news post, where you may have missed loads of information.

3D Animation is kicking my ass. I'm finding it very difficult to retain this wealth of information, and I feel like what information I'm getting is blending with my Maya Rendering II class...same professor, same classroom, same software, different material and assignments.

I came into class and I forgot how to add a damned keyframe...had to look it up on Google. I just feel like I could become more fluent with the program if I had the opportunity to mess around with it at home like I do with Flash and Photoshop.

I fear I'm becoming overwhelmed, but this 3D stuff is interesting; I want to learn it, but I'm finding it difficult to learn. Perhaps if I had a similar program at home, this kind of stuff won't seem so alien to me, but I'm worried because I passed a whole semester on basic 3D rendering, and I feel like I retained little of it.

There's gotta be a solution. If my class's progress is at 40/100ths, I'm lagging behind at 20/100ths...there needs to be some way I can at least catch up to the savvy of my classmates, or ideally, become savvier.

Unfortunately, I gotta jet back home after I get done here; I still got an assload of homework that's due tomorrow morning, and I ain't got shit to show for it....*sigh*...and I'm hungry with no money to make matters worse.

Gotta keep my head up. The world belongs to those who show up.

Film at Eleven.
