Third Year

A Rough Summer

I had a pretty bad Summer. I had some plans like some art projects and working on this BFA project but they kinda all went wrong because of various reasons, events, or feelings.

I applied late to returning to the dorm accommodations. So throughout the Summer, it was unsure as to whether I'd have living accommodations in my final year.

Another thing was that a friend went through some really tough times and I was there to assist them whether through advice or by just a being an ear for them to talk to. But this lead to me over-thinking more so than I already do, trying navigate how to help.

My minecraft server became very divided due several people causing various problems or issues causing the server to gradually sever parts of it.

Collectively al these moments boiled up in my head, causing chaos to run rampant in my head and that just made everything fuzzy.

A Rough Semester

I made the stupid mistake of trying to take 3 advanced Art courses in the same semester. These + a history class(my weakest subject) + an unplanned BFA prep class on top of the events of the Summer made the entire semester a jumble of chaos.

The history class was just boring to me. The 3 advanced classes were all teaching me very new skills. So learning those at once kinda overloaded me. And then the class that was to prepare me for moving into the class responsible for this showcase fell short and did not provide any assistance. Genuinely, the most beneficial part of that class was the friends that I made while complaining about the progress of the class. They have become pretty solid peers in the past year. Where we lacked planning from the class itself in regards to our project plans, we made up by trying to help each other.

With all of the chaos of the summer and the semester, it was really useful and comforting to have a nice, open space on the 3rd floor of the art building and there, I'd do some drawing, programming, or just hang out with Irene and Cat. Third floor is mainly traditional art. So I could commonly find them there.

Final Stretch

Now, this is present Lyndon typing this at 1AM on the Apr 18th. This semester has certainly been a time. Knowing that this showcase was coming up, I was worried about it but not as much as I should've been. I started with the asset and most friends helped with their character sprites. I kept telling myself that everything would be okay as soon as my procrastination panic set in. It was then that I would lock in and my stuff done as I know I work well under some degree of pressure. Only problem is that that procrastination only set in truly the week of the show. So everything has been kinda chaotic.

One thing I did expect from the very beginning of this project, when it was in its infancy, was that I knew it would be kinda weird to write this final paragraph of events that are happening right now.

But guess what... That's...
