Lol. Go for it. It might help.


It always does.

I might have to extend the due date at this rate... getting kind of pathetic though. I thought we had a hand full of good animators. Not lazy bums.

NO, Guys, Especially Frozen, It isn't my fault this time.

K, I'll give you a run through of my day today (average day):

- Get up at 5:00 am to finish last night's work
- Go to school at 7:30 am
- Get home at 5:30 pm
- Do homework until 10:15 pm
- Write this at exactly 10:25 pm local time
(Note: tomorrow I'll need to get up at 5 am again)

Seriously, I have the choice of working on this or getting my precious 5-6 hours of sleep a day.

C'mon... the first free moment I get is now, at 10:26. Sorry if I want to sleep.

And the thing is, when I do snatch an hour or two of work on this, it is punished by a crippling test result the next day.

I'm begging you to extend the due date, because the forces of my school don't want me to complete this. But the problem is, my life has been like this for the past few weeks, and shows no signs of changing. Which is why I haven't done it by now.

I've been shitting myself about this, because I simply cannot do it. It's like driving a car towards a cliff, but being unable to get out.

Plus, so far I've put about two weeks worth of stolen time (from homework) into this, and it's looking rushed and shit, but it is still as much effort as I can muster. I'll keep trying, hopefully this homework overload will die soon.

I really enjoy this comp. It has gotten me back into animating, and I fear that if it disappears from my life (such as missing a due date) then my animating will be forgotten. The worst thing for me would be to see myself lose this (by not submitting) because of a pile of homework twice my height.

I knew this would happen; as soon as round two started the forces of anything not-fun would rally and try and prevent me from doing anything about it. And it has. And it is ****ing pissing me off.

SO, my request summed up: Please just drop the due date for now. It only makes me try and squeeze more animating in, and it is seriously affecting my life in every aspect. I'm tired, anxious all the time, and to make things worse, I'm failing Latin because I did this instead of studying (:/). No one else seems active, and dropping the due date won't make me spend any less time on it. If the forces of homework have no time-frame to terrorize, they might disperse. The world sometimes works like that. Keeping on bumping the due date just makes us all look bad, but putting it in the cupboard for now would allow us all to get back on track.

You know what, Xelectroid, I understand you perfectly, I am in the same situation as you. In 8-9 months of animating I have only made 10 minutes of animation or something like this. I'm progressing horribly slow because of school and yes, they ask us for too much at school and don't care about our health. I know some students that have ended up in hospital with serious brain problems because of not sleeping and studying all the time. Good luck with the competition!

as for me, i do around 15 minutes of homework on a busy night, and occasionally study for a huge test, and i STILL manage to pass with a failing grade.

Almost like me, but I rarely study, and barely do homework, except I got alot of crap to do now.

Yeah **** homework! It's all about the animations!

I don't do all of my homework, but the one's i do, i do it extra fast or in class so i can get it over with. I jus get A's n B's and maybe 2 C's.

You guys must be in advanced classes if you have that much homework....sucks. =/

Pfft, I do all my homework at school other than studying, and still get all As and Bs.

That being said, I really have no excuse for not finishing my animation, so off to work I go.
