Since graduating, my fears came to fruition as my work ethic quickly declined. I yearn for UTD Max and have been slowly working towards matching my original work ethic. I don't regret taking a month off of heavy work, I certainly earned a prolonged period of celebration with my friends and family. But you can't have your cake and eat it too (or whatever the saying is). Things have certainly gotten in the way of my projects (which I have a few of them I am working on) primaril

It's over! I am happy to write that I "finished" the animated short, presented it at my defense meeting, and was passed by my committee. I will be getting my MFA in animation.

It's been a month and things have changed, things have also stayed the same, and things have changed back and forth. During this semester at UTD my focus is primarily with getting everything ready to animate. That way I can animate all day to my hearts content for the winter break and next semester. A big part of this project has been balance, I work at the university as a teaching associate while also teaching at the trade school nonPareil as an instructor. Finding a balance
