But anyway, as to how this semester's going, I guess it's been quite enjoyable in terms of the classes I'm taking. I only signed up for 四つのクラス, though they do add up to 15 credits... ballin'!
List of Classes:
Digital Animation
Intro to Painting
れきしのげいじゅつ(Since 1945)

The workload in カァスのにほんご is certainly enough to make it count for two classes, not to mention that it's taken over my life (I'm sure a lot of you are feeling the same way...>.<). But, I have no major complaints since I love this class, but the grammar seems to be getting pretty tricky. Though we're moving at a fast pace, it's reasonable enough that I can still keep up with it without much trouble. Plus, I enjoy bumping into everyone outside of the class, it gives me a fuzzy feeling inside. :) As for my other classes... well, intro to painting is a very relaxing and meditative class. We're given a lot of freedom, so I end painting outside a lot. As for my art history class...I have a lot of readings piled up that I need to get to...before the midterm...which is going to be in a week >.>
Onto my absolute favorite class...Digital Animation! My goal in life is to work for Pixar, at least for a little bit to get a taste of what it's like to work in a professional animation film studio. Or maybe I should work for Studio Ghibli ... with Miyazaki!! I heard he's working on a new film, "崖の上のポニョ" (Ponyo on a Cliff), which will be released in 2008. Ano...back to my animation class...my current assignment for that class is to create a 2min clip of a character involved in an interesting plot. I'm going to animate a character I created a couple months ago, but I have to make a model of him in Maya (the animation software) first. I'm afraid that my ambition for this project may be exceeding my level of animation skills. ^^; The storyboard for this animation is going to be submitted to PULSE, so that I can have a comic published as well. Two birds with one stone right? Below you'll see what I have so far:
Cover Page Page 1
Hopefully I'll be able to finish all of the pages in time for the project and the submission...

it's good that u're enjoying your classes...show me the animation once it's finished :D
That's a lot of interesting classes you're taking. What are you majoring in?
I'm glad I am not the only one who thinks we're learning at a scary rate in 101.
I just noticed you're interested in Death Note, if you like that kinda stuff, I recommend giving `Monster` a try.
Oh yeah, sorry, you don't know me, I am just a random person from a random class, and my name's Eldar, and you can guess why I am posting.
Cheers!
I just noticed that you mentioned you have to use Maya. >.< Sounds tough, I've looked at Maya like 4 years ago when it wasn't too much better than 3DMax, and it was really complex.
とにかく、that's an interesting dialect you said you speak, never heard of it.
Oh and about a picture, I remove all pictures of me from the internet because my dorm is playing an assassins game, but it should soon be over.
おげんき！
Digital Animation? What class number is that? I wanna take it next semester :D
