This Month's Projects
Rigging Basics: fav.me/d593kai
Production Modeling: fav.me/d593jbz

Confirmed grades.  I completed Compositing Fundamentals with a 95.5%.  Very easy class.  Fundamentals of Animation on the other hand is a 87.4%.  Disappointed, but the grade is rightfully so.  I could have done a better job with my animation projects,  but with a subjective subject, there's a much wider gap to get from B to A.  I just need to keep working hard, and I will be fine...academically.


The learning how to rig, script, and use ZBrush was not my biggest worry this month.  After summer break, my biggest worry was paying for school.  I did not know that in order to get a student loan without a cosigner, I would need an annual income of $12,000 that I have not time for.  Here I thought based on my credit scores and academic standing, I wouldn't need a cosigner.  Well I was wrong.  Worse part, no one I have asked can or will cosign for me.  I'm currently waiting on one last attempt to approve a loan without a cosigner before I ask my grandfather to reconsider.  If there is one thing I don't want to do is quit school because I am an independent 25 year old student with a high credit and GPA, but no job, and can't pay for college.  I've been here 8 months, and I have about 13 months left.  I now have a roommate, and I have work study and being a tour guy one weekend a month to help my finances.  So I am doing all I can to get school paid for.  I'd hate to stop working hard for my dream because of finances.  I've calculated if I get this loan, I can survive about 7 more months before I scream for help, otherwise I'll be screaming in less than a month for help.  But enough of my worries.  Even through the stress and the time taken aware to take care of finances, I did well in both classes.  The ZBrush final could have been better, but I did what I could, and best I can do is practice on my own time.

Next month is Character Rigging, aka "CRI."  It is my first class that I go to 5 days a week, my first advanced class, and is the next level of rigging and scripting after Rigging Basics.  Once I can get my finances cleared, I can go back to full focus and pass another class.  Wish me luck.  And if anyone is willing to help me stay in school, feel free to send me money via my Paypal account: whaddaguy15@yahoo.com.  I will thank you.  Wish me luck on the rest of my endeavors.
