18th April - Charm

Today was rather hellish. A class from 11am to 6pm with supposedly no breaks in the middle of every class. God damn! It's not the course activities itself that are hard though, it's the fact that I know how to do everything already so it's the boredom that almost killed me. Social-wise, seems I've gotten a little progress today.

First was Design Principles. A Designer module that somehow managed to connect itself to Game Design with an explanation that made sense, compared to ITE's shitty Design Class where we built handicapped machines. We had to get Fineliners of four different widths to get the job done. I could do the whole thing armed with my 0.2, but noooo, I had to go get them. Being one of the first, I managed to buy the set of four from the bookstore before the sold out amongst the rest of my classmates. But the price of each of them was $2.10, 70 cents more expensive than the cheap brand I'm used to. So I sold them to Daniel, the really social guy in Group 4 for $10. Do the math. I made $1.60 profit, HOORAY! I went through class not doing the assignment in the end, although luckily it's due next week.

Storyboarding was a much more troubling class. With a Caucasian lady with high standards as the teacher, I felt really pressured. I could keep up with the storyboarding though, save for my lack of proportion of the camera to character as well as my refusal to use a regular pencil over my trusty sidekick mechanical. But looking at the others' works, I think I coped a lot better. I suppose I am the one with the most experience doing these stupid scribbly shits, anyway. I'm slightly afraid they might think I'm showing off, or find me intimidating.

I seem to have broken the ice with the girls in Group 4 though. Which is cool, because they're very cute ladies. Hooray for me, I get to feel masculine for a day before all the gay and faggot jokes come in. Syai has already begun them >_>
