Pressure

October 1, 2008 by Anna — 28 Comments
Filed Under: Personal

People, people! I have 2 new hostees! Everyone, please welcome Jeni and Becca! :yay: I apologize for the late announcement and Becca dear, I am trying my best to fix the lil problem we have right now

Happy October to everyone! It’s rather confusing to assume if we’re off to a bad start because of the rain/typhoon (but in my case it’s a GOOD start, hoping for no classes tomorrow! :)) ) or it’s just there to fool us, making us see that this October is going to be a good one.

Lemme share something to you guys, do you ever wonder why there are a lot of ‘October Babies’?? I do, all the time.. it ain’t no coincidence anymore, back in HS I use to think it’s just ‘timing’ that I know a lot of people who have birthdays in the said month but when I got to college, about 10+ people have birthdays in October. WHY IS THAT? What does October have that other months doesn’t have?? Thoughts? 😛

I’m starting to hate this term. 🙁 Because we’re being given with tons of stuff to do. I know I shouldn’t be complaining because it’s going to benefit me sooner or later but they’re things I don’t wanna do that bothers me. Can you guess what most of my professors are making us do right now that bothers (particularly) me? Starts with the letter ‘D’ and ends with ‘G’. 😆 Well, yeah I’ll leave it to you guys to figure that out and you will.. eventually.

I’m not good in rendering traditional art manually. That’s it. I tried (my best) coloring, drawing, sketching.. but they all come out crap. I have never done any trad. art that came out passable, near-perfect and clean. Always dirty. It’s not just a state of mind, I kept my mind open and thought of ‘happy thoughts’ while making them.. no help at all. So much for being positive, no? I’m willing to learn but yeah maybe fate doesn’t want me to.

Practice is the way to go, but there’s just way too many things around me that distracts me not to focus. THAT’S IT! I lack focus and practice. Assuming that I’m good with computer stuff already, it’s because I’ve done nothing for the past years but spent tons of hours infront of the PC. 😛 I’ve had too much practice already. I need to do other stuff. But as the saying goes, Old habits die hard. It’s like wanting to stop smoking but you can’t and you won’t.. until you see the side effects of what you’re doing, hopefully that won’t happen to me. No, I don’t smoke.

Enough with that. On my TO-DO list: (1) Create a Cylinder and Cone without the use of a ruler in a 3-point perspective and add shadows to them (HAND DRAWN) and (2) create a pattern for each of the Four Temperaments using the elements of Nature (HAND DRAWN) must be realistic looking when colored.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. *insert more here* I’ve done one though, finish this color wheel for my color rendering class. Wanna know something? It took me 3x to redo the whole thing, just imagine the amounts of paint wasted for it. 🙁 I hate it when paint gets wasted. I am not enjoying the sight of getting it wasted.

I’m not having much problems on my other subjects, just these drawing subjects.. I thought I’d get away with taking Design Principles last year, but I guess I still have to face the other drawing subjects the hard way. I never thought we’d be drawing in our History of Arts II subject, cause I didn’t last term. 😐

Oh, woe is me with this kind of misery. Bullshit.
I have never felt this pressured because usually I have a way with getting away with it. *sigh* Now is different from the rest.

This term is THE term I would be out-of-this-world happy if I receive 1.0 or 1.5 on my course card giving day on all my drawing subjects. I seem to have badluck when its the 2nd term, just like last year when I got a failing grade on one of my subjects. :roll: FUCK!! I’m having thoughts on shifting to another course but it’s prolly too late, even people I’ve asked are against the idea.

I hate talking about school 80% on my blog posts, especially when they’re not happy-happy. I miss talking about the movies I watched or stuff I’ve downloaded. HAHAHA. Btw, I’ve watched Heroes last week and there’s too much going on and flaws are showing up. But I still enjoy watching it. I’m downloading episode 3 right now and blogging here to pass by time! 🙂 Mohinder is disgusting, bow. =))

Damn pressure.. 3 more months to go. This is probably the longest term in a year in CSB. I hope classes will be suspended tomorrow because I’m sure as hell not ready to make hybrids and attend color rendering classes. Thank God for the rain, I hope it continues till Friday. 😆 But it seems to have slowed down now.. NOOO!! Let’s be grateful everyone and do the banana dance and rain dance/song!

Speaking of banana dance.. I’d like to thank people who signed up for Plurk using my referral link! :heart: I got 10 referrals last night and now abusing the exclusive smileys, much like controlling not to abuse them because my Karma might go down. Hahaha, Plur(k)-ddicted much?! Seriously, thank you guys for the help! :worthy:

That’s all for now I guess. I hope I finish everything in time. ;;)

    Aww.. I don’t know a lot of people who have birthdays on October, so I don’t really wonder about it. 😆

    Good luck with your studies. Malapit na nga ung exams.

    Congratz on the 10 referrals. Hehe…

    BTW, it’s okay if you can’t fix it. I could backup my files so that you can do it again, if ever. =) Thanks a lot for hosting me!

    Maybe because a lot get married in December? It’s different for me, I hardly know people born in October and most of them are October 9s. Most people I know are born in September. =D

    I think there are a lot of October/November babies cause they were conceived during the cold and holiday months, and i guess most were in the mood during those seasons? haha

    Anyway, good luck with all your classes! my brother has the same course as you, but a batch younger i think 🙂 I got here through Tric’s blog. I hope you don’t mind that i link you. I linked you already.

    Thanks Anna!:)

    probably it has something to do with the weather when babies are made and born. 😀

    in my case, i know a lot of september babies. if my math is right, september babies were conceived on december which is a cold month…. soooo… i guess that’s why. if october, well, january is still a cold month. 😀

    well, good luck on the drawing classes! you can do it! go go go!!

    Hmm.. October. Counting back 9 months, it’s around January or February. People “celebrate” coz it’s either New Year or Valentine’s Day. Bwahahaha. Just a random thought :p

    Congrats on the hostees and the referrals 😉

    I wondered about that october thing myself. Hahaha. Mebbe because about 9 months prior (June/July — when weddings usually happen right) they.. do it. LOL.

    Wow, more hostees for Anna!

    TOTALLY. Mohinder.. yuck. Haha.

    Goodluck Anna. 😆
