It's just not good enough...

So a few times while working on my assignments, I hear this being echoed in the far recesses of my brain. It bounces around wildly everytime I playblast or frame through my work. I don't know why I think this of my work especially since I'm a totally total noobish noob at animating. Before this awesome possum (yes I did just say that) school, the closest thing I came to animating was a box. Yup, a box. Not even a sphere to try a bouncing ball, it was a box. But I digress...

There are a lot of people attending AM that have oodles of talent or tons of experience and some people even have both. I see myself as having neither. Methinks only hard work is going to get me where I need to go. Maybe that's why I push myself the way I do? I don't know. My awesomely supportive wife thinks I'm being too hard on myself and too critical of my assignments, especially this early on. I can't help it, I'm my own worst critic. I don't know if that's a good thing or not, but it's definitely pushing me to do my best.

When I'm watching the lectures and proceeding through the current session I occasionally think I'm missing something. That I overlooked an important fact or point. We'er already halfway throough this session and I'm afraid I missed learning something important. It's definitely a funky feeling. It could be that we're blazing through this session and it's natural to feel this way, especially with all the info we're taking in.

In hindsight, throughout all these feelings, trials, and tribulations thereis one thing I can say with definite certainty - I'm having one helluva good time with it. =)

Animation is definitely something I want to do for the rest of my life.
