Did we learn anything this week? I'm not sure. Time is an illusion. I know we took a quiz on animation principles, which was interrupted by a fire alarm. So I mean in a sense we had to refresh ourselves on animation principles. That's like....teaching yourself. But I really don't think anything new was learned. Someone, please inform if there was something new that we learned. In English, I was just frustrated. I struggled with an assignment we were given, and then just gave up and wrote something that might be good. In chemistry, I removed hydration from something and simultaneously ruined my grade all in one go. Chemical formulas and names are too difficult and I vote we sue them. Gym is never mentioned but it was actually fun this week because I climbed things, and rock wall climbing is like one of my favorite past time. Stats is not worthy of our time. In history, we did nothing but review for a test and then I know I aced that test. Thank you extensive knowledge of the American Revolution.
In the future, I want to learn how to lip sync. I know it is coming up. I am scared, to say the least, but maybe it will be something I can grasp pretty easily. And hey with lip syncing you know what comes up? Animating faces! I think I've mentioned my desire to animate them like two times before. I hope it will be more fun than it is painful because I want to animate emotions. Our non-animation related 'What I Want To Learn' of the week is: my lines. "But Heather, isn't your first show on Thursday?", one may ask. I will answer yes, and then continue my eternal screaming because I have all my lines but three that I have no idea how to memorize. Wish me luck, because hell (I mean tech) week is knocking on my door.
The flour sack kind of frustrated me this week, but not really. I know I have to work on my takes and anticipation for sure. Chemistry also frustrated me this week. See: chemical formulas and names. I have no idea how to take a formula and turn it into a name or take a name and turn it into a formula. It is difficult and unnecessary for my everyday life. I want to fight the entire subject of them. Perhaps I'll understand them by the end of the year, or perhaps I will finally figure out how to sue a concept. Whichever comes first you know.
Once again we encounter the single subject that has taken my life over: Hamilton. Why do I bring this up once again in text form? Well, because the thing that made me happy this week was the release of Hamilton's America. Also known as the documentary for my favorite musical. I cried, I laughed, I screamed, and I've already watched it more than six times. No obsession here. Not only did the documentary make me happy, but so did Lin-Manuel Miranda. He is the human embodiment of a cinnamon roll and I love him with all my being. He may be significantly older than me but I am increasingly proud of him. He has gotten me through a lot in recent months, so I can't help but be proud of everything he does.
If I could, I would make my link of interest this week Hamilton's America. I mean, there is some forms of animation in it here and there so it could be justified. But I won't do that. (I debated with myself for 30 minutes over it okay, you're lucky.) Instead, I'm going to give you a little Pixar mini documentary on storyboarding. That's right folks, you can't escape documentaries as long as I'm here. Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LKPVAIcDXY.
