No more pencils no more books!!

So I had my last exam yesterday. Man, am I glad it's done with now. That school was trying to kill me or drive me insane with disorganisation and apathy towards its students. Wow. I'm not going to post any of the work I did for the exams this year as I'm not the proudest of any of it. This year has been more about learning as much as I could for the thesis project rather than producing pretty artwork or something. I'm really hoping that I didn't do too badly on any of the exams, but I'm not too sure. I was a bit shaky for Virtual Ambients and Maya Dynamics for a while... and nobody knows for sure what's going to happen to my Motion Builder results...

I started work some time ago, I guess about 4 weeks now. I'm in the studio that handles all the design for YOOX (www.yoox.com) amongst other things. So far it's going great. I get in there in the mornings, 3 days a week, plug in my laptop and get to it. Presently I'm working on the YOOX cover for the month of April... no sneak previews for you though... I'll upload a direct link to it when it's done.

Right now I'm waiting for the landlord and a makeshift plummer. There hasn't been hot water from the faucet in my kitchen since I've lived here and seeing how she wants to raise the rent I have a few demands, hot water for dishwashing being one of them. I've spent my spare time in the last few weeks rearranging the house and furniture and things and this past weekend it was the kitchen. I moved and cleaned under the fridge, fixed the legs on the cabinets (here kitchen cabinets are not built in, hence wobbly after a few years), and rearranged the pantry. I really don't know what's gotten into me.

Anyhow, I should go twiddle my thumbs in a productive manner now as I've discovered this great website for video tutorials www.3dBuzz.com , they're all a bit dated, but the concepts are clear. After the plummer jobby I've got a billion other things to do too. So laters!
