That One Day Every Week

Remember when I mentioned Fridays turn me into some kind of hormonal monster?

Happened again, yeah~!
Sir was so cute today, too!
Actually I saw him a lot this week~ I found out where his table is~ accidentally of course but it's not like it makes any different, uh-huh. I haven't gone so low as to start stalking.

Anyway, my not-so-very-secret crush aside, today was both a good and bad day~
I think I mentioned it before but I really love teamwork and my 2D animation team has really stepped forward and done their part. I feel so proud of them somehow!

This week had been really hectic for us and I couldn't even get the portion of work - that I was supposed to finish - done on the due date. Thankfully, Nad-san pulled us together and arranged for us to meet up Friday morning.

As a leader (I think I am, am I?) I felt a bit embarrassed by this since I couldn't even do something simple like that. It might seem something small to you but one of the qualities I always seek for in a leader is the ability to keep us together and, seeing as I'm always bitching about how leaders I have had the experiencing of working together with are either assholes or useless, this was a blow to my pride and my principles.

I will try my best in the future. We have an upcoming database group assignment and I'm looking forward to giving it my all if they make me the leader. IF they make me the leader. I'm already hetare as it is.

Back to Friday morning, it didn't start out too good. I woke up with bad cramps from sleeping on the floor but at least I woke up pretty early. I tried to finish my portion of the 2D assignment (model sketch) but by the time 8AM rolled by, I had to call it quits. Nothing much happened. I put on extra face powder even though I know 80% of it will be gone even before I reach college.

While waiting for the bus, my foot slipped and I fell into a ditch in front of a rather big crowd. Me being me, I apologized to the lady in front of me for startling her and acted as if nothing had happened. I even went so far as to ignore the pain in my leg (which I'm starting to feel now).

Regrettably, I arrived later than the appointed time. The bread I shoved down my throat nearly killed me but I survived somehow. Who knew bread could be that solid? I didn't even get to sip on my Latte before I was dashing inside the library and meeting up with Nad-san and Ak-kun.

She was responsible for colouring the storyboard. She even lined the drawings with pen - which, obviously, I was supposed to do but got caught up in other things. Nad-san, you're a real life saver!

I still had to finish my model sketches then and bitched a lot about how "I can't make it! I'll never be able to finish this!" Zi-kun arrived later on and both her and Ak-kun got roped into colouring the storyboard. I was really amazed by Nad-san's ability to give orders! She's really more leader-material than I am.

By the time the battery on my laptop was showing signs of comatose, Ak-kun arranged for us to stay in one of the meeting rooms with the sockets. Once we were in the privacy of the room (with CCTV of course) all hell broke loose. We practically littered the table with all sorts of stuff. It gradually got difficult to see the tabletop even.

Rieya-chan arrived a bit after that to discuss an assignment with Zi-kun. Nad-san and I, having taken the subject that they were pouring over (and they were also learning under Sir), interfered on their discussion a lot to the point where Zi-kun got aggravated. Sorry, Zi-kun! Rieya-chan! But it definitely lifted the mood within our group (that had gotten pretty tense from all those storyboard colouring)

I never actually managed to finish my part but I was advised to go through an anything-goes thinking. It was the same for the storyboard too - some two objects don't have the same colour.

By 2, we cleaned up and went down to print the model sketch as well as our Principles of Animation assignment. There was quite some panic there and Zi-kun got terribly pissed. I felt a bit guilty for having worked them so hard so I offered to buy lunch. It wasn't anything pricey but it was rice. We faced some trouble with binding the whole storyboard and I got really anxious that I lost my appetite.

Oh yeah, I also told Zi-kun and Nad-san that I like like Sir like that. I even said, 'like how a girl likes a guy' but in the end I don't think they actually understood me. Or maybe they just can't wrap their minds around the idea of me liking a guy like that? I dunno. I've been pretty uninterested all this while so I can understand the awkwardness of putting 'me' and 'in love' in one sentence.

Oh well.

We eventually arrived at class a bit late but thankfully Sir had yet to arrive.

As per usual, I became a nervous wreck. Something went wrong with the binding after all. Zi-kun finally rescued us and I calmed down considerably (considerably; seeing as I banged my head twice on the table a minute before)

I added some more bit and pieces of information on our storyboard when Sir finally decided to grace us with his appearance. After setting up his laptop and the projector, he went around to collect our assignment.

Nad-san said something like, "You're staring at him so much, you're not even blinking" but I decided to let that comment go unresponded. I think my mind is playing tricks on me. I keep having this hallucination that Sir glanced at me when he asked for our assignments. Of course, he's actually staring at our assignment that I deliberately left on the table but a girl can dream.

Fuck. We were all so bloody nervous. I could tell from the looks on our faces. I was probably the worst out of all of us.

In the storyboard, we had these dividers to separate some parts like storyline, rough sketch, storyboard, etc... and Zi-kun used a lot of the images I had posted on our group blog on the dividers. It even had one of Himapaparuya's Feli drawing! Sir pointed out to a drawing of a scowling Lovi that I drew some time ago and asked me, 'did you draw this using the computer?' and I was all nods and stutters. I really can't trust myself to talk normally with Sir. This is going to be a big problem, uh-huh.

I can't quite remember at which part of class it happened but Sir had asked about our team and seemed to have thought I did most of the work on the storyboard. It's not true and I told him we had all done it together. He seemed a bit skeptical and I felt really bad then when he said, "Don't worry, I will ask you a few questions about this and I'll know if you had done it [together]" It felt 3 times worse when he said that while looking at them. I tried to salvage the situation (and the fact that I had done little to defend them) by reminding them that the drawing style of the storyboard was not mine (seeing as Nad-san was the one who lined it).

I really hope they don't hold anything against me. Given the opportunity, I won't hesitate to defend them in the future.

I should also tell you that, our storyboard was the ONLY one complete and accepted. Everyone else (like last week) had to fix on something and will have to re-submit it by Monday. Class continued on as normal after that and Sir finally got to teaching us the practical stuff in flash. We will be moving to the computer lab a lot more now.

Oh
and I found out I have to re-do EVERYTHING in flash
Life is so wonderful

damn it
