Thursday

Today's been a pretty normal day, just going to do math homework and study for a hard Latin quiz tomorrow. 

Monday

Pretty average day, just doing to my Psychology class at 5:30, going to study for a latin test tomorrow and do my math homework.  I may work on my animation more today, not sure if I'll have time though.

Sunday

Just have a few things to do today.
   A.  Finish the in class essay.
   B.  Translate some sentences in latin
   C.  Read a chapter of psychology


I think B will probably be the hardest because I'm kind of bad at the translations in that class, we just got a ten page packet of the concepts we have to translate, so that will be kind of hard. 

I think once I finish those, I'm going to just work on my animation. I've finally gotten to the point with my animations that I can start submitting my animations, sell advertising spots on the loading screen, and make some money off of views, which would be a really nice summer job.  Working on my own hours, doing something I enjoy, and not having to do a really tedious job all day every day all of summer, it's just kind of hard to not get distracted while animating, or get stuck on a section that is hard to animate.

This weekend

I haven't really done that much this weekend, my sister came back from IU for this weekend so I've mostly been around the house.  I've been working on my animation, here's part of what I"m working on now, jumps are harder than I thought they would be to do.  I thought it would be easy, but if you watch somebody jump, it changes the body.  People move their head back before a jump in order to get more forward movement, they move their head forward while jumping slightly, and it moves down just because of physics.  The hands move upward while getting to the peak of a jump, then move down as you descend, and the legs kind of move forward with the momentum the whole time.  The one guy randomly goes away because I'm still working on his jump.

Wednesday

I don't have a lot of homework today, just finishing up my essay and I have to do a latin translation.  The math quarter final that I had today was kind of hard too, I hope I did well on it, I studied, so there's not much else I could have done to do better.  Once I get my homework done I'll probably just animate or play Crysis on the computer.

Computer Broke

About two weeks ago my computer just broke.  Whenever I started it up it would just go to a screen saying my computer was broken and that the computer could not automatically repair its self, so I took it to the place near Blockbuster to get it fixed, I think it's called Integrity PC's.  They had to wipe the hard drive to fix the computer, and they were able to get my animations off of the hard drive which was nice, but I still have to reinstall all of my games.  So, that's why I couldn't blog last week, but now I can try to keep up with it.

Psych Test

Today I took my psych test, I'm not that sure what to think of it.  It was nice because it was more general than I expected, but it was harder becuase I studied such specific facts that I didn't know some of the basic principles.  One example is I could list every phase of Piaget's theory of development, and what every phase caused.  But there would only be a question asking "Who made the theory of development" and I would know it was Piaget, but that also meant I wasted a lot of time memorizing that.  Only to get other general questions which I didn't memorize because I thought they weren't that important.  It was open note, so that probably helped me though.

I also bought a cd by BRMC today, I don't like very many of their songs because they seem like pretty cookie cutter songs with too much repetition through really long choruses.  I'll check my itunes to see if it looped it or something, but that's how the songs is supposed to be.  I probably should have listened to this on Youtube before I bought it.  Here is one of the songs I think is okay though.

At least we have a two hour delay tomorrow.  I also guess downloading that Windows Vista patch on Sunday didn't fix my computer, so I'm not that sure what to do about that.

3 Day Weekend

This weekend was kind of busy, I have one of my two tests of the semester in psychology tomorrow at Saint Francis, so I've  studied a lot on Friday, Saturday, and all of today, I am probably over studying for it, because I don't think it will be as hard as I am studying for it to be (if that makes sense.) I didn't really have time to do very much fun, but I did get about another 100 frames in my animation, and I might be making another background for it in a couple weeks, which I can post while I make it.

I think I may have also fixed a problem that was making my computer freeze instead of going to the screen saver too, which is kind of nice because it was annoying to go away from the computer for 15 minutes, find out it froze, and then restart the computer, wait for it to scan the computer for some reason (I didn't get any option not to scan), and that was just kind of annoying because I'd have to walk by my computer and hit the space bar every 15 or so minutes if I was working on a paper or animation to prevent it from freezing.  I just fixed it by downloading some update for vista on the internet.
