Its been a pretty rough week. I was suppose to be starting AM springboard but we actually don't start until four weeks from now-very disappointed. I also feel like I have kind of lost my enthusiasm for the moment. My co-signer fell through and I was not approved for the loan by myself. So that means I don't get to start Animation Mentor in June like I wanted to. It is so heartbreaking to not be able to fulfill your dream. I am so close and yet so far away. School is about $20,000 and I have now started a savings jar for it. I am hoping that eventually I will get my credit score up so I can get approved and then put whatever money I have saved towards it. I may even need to try and pay for the whole thing - I am not sure If I will ever be able to do that. But I have to at least try. I don't want to give up but its just gonna be so hard. I really hope it wont end up being like in the movie "UP" when they keep using their savings for "Paradise Falls" to pay for flat tires and other unexpected money needs. So I'am going to try and keep on trucking-im trying my best to remember that things happen for a reason.
So I'am going to start my own "Paradise Falls" savings jar for Animation Mentor. If anyone has any tips , money making ideas or wants to help by donating money I would really appreciate it!

1/11/11 Exciting Animation Mentor News!!!
Animation Mentor announced today that they are beginning a new program. Its called Animals & Creatures Master Class
.http://www.animationmentor.com/masterclass/animalscreatures/overview.html?utm_source=PublicSite&utm_medium=HPImage&utm_content=660x465&utm_campaign=AC_Launch
Its an advanced class for people who have attended AM and are a part of the AM alumni or anyone else they think is ready for the class. For me this is still very exciting, even though I wouldn't be able to take the class until I graduate from AM: it would be the most amazing addition to my 18 month program at animation mentor. It is rather expensive $4,795, probably more by the time I would finish the core program. It will be so worth it though, it would really complete my knowledge of animation. To learn how to animate quadrupeds seems so essential. I mean, how many movies do you see that have four legged animated animals? TONS!!! This program would be essential if you wanted to work on something like Avatar. Its so exciting I just cant contain my self! Anyway, I should be finding out very soon when I can sign up for the Maya workshop. I did just learn that I can get a free license to use Maya for 13 months!!! That is amazing, that will give me plenty of time to save up to purchase the software.
I really need my privacy to concentrate on any type of work I do. Whether its homework or artwork, I just need a quiet place to concentrate. Plus, I live with 5 VERY LOUD YAPPY dogs!! They're cute an all but sometimes they drive me crazy!!!! LOL. SO that means that my next step is to move the main desktop to the spare bedroom and buy a new monitor or two. I'am going to need a large monitor to see my work. Speaking of which ,if anyone has any recommendations for computer monitors or sales on monitors please leave me a comment or send me an e-mail, I would really appreciate it.
Well, I guess I'm done blabbing for today-I guess my words of encouragement for today will be to just keep thinking positively, keep striving for your goal or your dream!!!

2011 a NEW year
Well, this is my first post so bare with me. I decided to start this blog so I can express myself through out my struggles and triumphs to become an animator, but it will probably be a lot about my life as well. So, first thing first. 2011 a new year, a new beginning. So cliche, I know, but I really do feel that way. Seeing as how shitty 2010 was I'm feeling very hopeful about the future. I started the year off great. I got my acceptance letter from animation mentor(the best possible animation school,in my opinion) just a day or so before new years day. That was a major gift. I was so ecstatic but I felt the need to control my excitement. Getting accepted is great and all but getting approved for the loan is another hurdle and since I have pretty crappy credit, I know it is gonna be a struggle to find a co-signer. I have a few options in my head and I have until may to figure it out. I am going to be taking the Maya springboard class though in spring and I'm pretty sure I will have enough to pay that myself without a loan. Either way I know I will attend AM eventually, even if I have to wait a couple years until my credit is up, I will go there because it's my dream. But I'm hopeful everything will work out this time around- it feels as if it's meant to be. And since my personal life is going REALLY well right now I feel on top of the world and ready to conquer everything!!! Until next time-Live with the motto that,"All you need is Love" because if we all try to love one another and spread peace the world WILL be a better place.
