                          ♕  — LEARNED : Boy oh boy is 3D something. It's definitely nothing I've worked
                                                           on before, and it was slightly hard for me to get used to. I think
                                                           the notes and exercises have helped. no matter how many times
                                                           I ask questions. I swear I'm understanding! Polygons and mesh
                                                           editing isn't as hard as I thought, I especially enjoy messing
                                                           with vertices, even if I didn't quite understand at first.



                          ♕  — WANT TO LEARN: Excited to start animating in 3D! I think style will be
                                                                       easier for me to grasp, and the technical side of it makes
                                                                       less difficult for me to grasp. I really want to try doing
                                                                       a bouncing ball, or in my case, another seal.




                          ♕  — FRUSTRATED: I'm mostly frustrated at myself for last week, I was in a slight
                                                                depression episode (Winter time is the hardest for me I think)
                                                                and I dropped the ball on writing my article response. It made
                                                                me feel really mad, and then it spiraled me down further into
                                                                the self pitying and shaming problem. I have this urge to be
                                                                the best student no matter what, like I have to prove myself to
                                                                be considered average. So, I guess missing that really ruined
                                                                my night- but again I've only myself to blame. I'm gonna try
                                                                to avoid forgetting, or get on top of it earlier.



                          ♕  — HAPPY: I went to the mall with my Mom! I rarely go outside, so this was fun
                                                    for me! We went Christmas shopping, and I got to buy some ramune
                                                    (soft drink) and some new pins- and a nice gift for my boyfriend.
                                                    There was a whole lot at the mall to see, and even more to do that
                                                    my feet weren't ready for walking-wise. God, I don't get out much.
                                                    But that was my 'happy' of the week, I believe!
                                                 



                          ♕  — INTERESTING LINK: This is a link that shows the breakdown-process of
                                                                            the 3D animated movie "Rapunzel". I thought this     
                                                                            was super terrifying honestly, the bare bones of an
                                                                            intricate animation look absolutely awful- but I got
                                                                            a clear view of a blocking process, which helped
                                                                            solidify it in my mind that it's important to get frame
                                                                            -work done before any other strides can be taken.
