eight weeks.

In eight weeks from now, I will be a college graduate. In six weeks, I'll have my senior show. I must admit that my brain is in a somewhat constant seesaw of thoughts and feelings. I'm stressed, I'm relaxed, I'm confident, I'm freaked out, I'm exhausted, I'm refreshed. Those are normal feelings in life, but suddenly with the end of Spring Break looming, they seem to have hit me all at once. I still have so much work to do. And I'm having to realize that I may have bit off more than I can chew with some projects I wanted to complete by April 30th.
For example, I was planning on creating an extensive Flash animation and was super confident about it. I started and applied my basic knowledge, but ran into numerous road blocks. And then I realized today that I don't realistically have the amount of time before the Senior Show to teach myself how to really use Flash to create the animation that I visualized for my Methodology illustration. There are a lot of other projects that need to be reworked and revised. So how do I animate it without using Flash? I'm thinking of doing it old school and creating paper cut outs and animating it using frame by frame animation. I've been wanting to do that for a long time as a fun project anyway, so I'm actually looking forward to it more now. So, hopefully I will have something impressive to show for it within the next few weeks.
I've also been doing a lot of research for job opportunities and feeling hopeful. I'm fighting off procrastination and doing my best to stay on track. Everything will get done.
On a parting note, I'd like to share this animation from John Kelley called Procrastination.
