...well,mine has.

I have gone deaf in one ear.My right one.Its only been two days and I already find it incredible how much I took being able to hear equally in all directions for granted.
Simple daily things like a group conversation or going to the movies or just talking to someone in a room with the t.v. on has become an absolute pain.Worst of all I can hear a ringing in the effected ear (and nothing else) and it feels like I have a headphone in that ear.And yes,I did check if that was the problem,theres no headphone.

Well,I'll be going to the doctor tomorrow to see if its permanent and to see if something can be done about it.I know what you're thinking - why haven't you gone yet!?
My answer is : I've been busy,heh.

In other (bad) news I just learned that the animation course in the college I'll be applying to has changed the deadline.SO...I now have to get my portfolio fully ready in 2 months instead of the 6 I thought I had.

Not good.

Its not like I can sit down and just make the portfolio.If that were the case I would have it done in no time.But I'm currently doing a FETAC portfolio course which is a huge deciding factor of getting into the college and while I'm making my portfolio in this course I also have projects and assignments piling up.I'm kept VERY busy.
Plus,I found out that there isn't an interview for my course like other Irish art courses.I just drop in my portfolio,and they mail it back as soon as its been reviewed...

Also not good.

I was depending on my shining personality to get me in.Heh.
But hey,none of this has gotten me down.I'm still my spiffy self.

Now...
Heres a 'To do' list of everything I have to get done.(for myself and the sympathy factor)
---
1.Twenty A1 sheets for portfolio showing observational skills and my knowledge of movement.

2.A 'visual diary' of around 100 pages.Showing observational skills and technique.The visual diary will be fish themed and will be full of fish art.

3.Another sketch book of around 100 pages showing nothing but movement studies of people and animals.

4.A minimum of two storyboards of animations I have made in order to,again,show my skill of studying movement and how to artistically direct such movement.Or something to that effect.

5.Finally,all assignments for the entire college year.I need to score a 85% in all my projects in order to get into the animation course.There are 12 classes (or modules) in the whole course including drawing,sculpture,painting,batik etc.


And then theres Christmas coming up,my first exhibition in two weeks and daily work.
And I still have the energy to make a piece for the hitote project here on dA.Should be up in a few days...emphasis on 'should'.
All I have to say is this : Is that the best you can do world?

...that was immensely geeky.
