Callout for a hug

Journal Entry: Fri Nov 13, 2009, 8:19 AM
Worst Time of the Year

So here we go again. Exams. I failed last year in Computer Graphics, which has to be the worst subject ever invented. Think math. Think formulas and numbers and things named after men who clearly had nothing better to do. I really, truly despise this subject - even more so than I ever did Physical Education. I think that says it all.

I got three weeks which, in theory, should be enough to read. But real life doesn't work that way. In these weeks I will also have to

:bulletorange: Code/author a functional DVD menu for a project we did last year.
:bulletorange: Make and present a webproject involving Java/PHP/MySQL (about what, I have no idea)
:bulletorange: Give feedback on 40+ students' tutorials.
:bulletorange: Tutor students 6 hrs a week.
:bulletorange: Read for the exam in Algorithms and Data Structures that follows two days after Computer Graphics.
:bulletorange: Cheer up boyfriend who's going through the same exams and who's having an even harder time right now.
:bulletorange: Mentally prepare myself for going home for Christmas.

:tantrum:

Without going into details, so much depends on this freaking exam that it's got me very worried. It's not just about failing (I can always give it another try after Christmas), but it's going to affect my life in other and very real - and in the worst case, very permanent - ways too. Did I mention I don't even like the subject?

Could really need a hug right now.

Love your steam punk work. The "Book" was compiled in PhotoShop? Then all of the layers were exported into Flash? am I understanding this properly? (Sorry I'm running old software, and have been working on other stuff for a while. ((Skills are getting rusty.)))

Well keep it up, and Have Fun.

Yes, that's right. You have to option of going to Import> in Flash and then choose "Import layers as keyframes". Saves alot of work, if you prepare your layers right. The first time I did this, I spent a whole day cursing in front of the comp. This time it took less than an hour, heh.

Thank you for the favs :)

"I wonder what's in a book while it's closed. I know it's full of letters printed on paper, but [..] something must be happening, because as soon as I open it, there's a whole story with people I don't know yet and all kinds of adventures and battles."
:iconeil:
You're quite welcome :hug:
