Sitting in class, I like it and i've already learned somethings that they never went over at SJSU. BUT some people are soooooo slow; not slow like they don't do the work fast, slow like the teacher has explained it 200 million times and they STILL don't get it. All I have to say is that my teacher has ENDLESS amounts of patience. My god, if I only

omg yay you posted!!!! this makes me very happy! keep doing it! i know what you mean about feeling guilty when you express an interest in something and someone tries to support you and then you just... don't follow through. I do it all the time. But I think it's because we set ourselves up for failure by telling ourselves we have to succeed immediately. Like, my parents invested X dollars in this software for me, so if I use it, I have to be a pro at it to prove to them it was worth the investment, and then the pressure just gets too great so we don't even let ourselves try. Story of my life! But... it's one of the big things I'm working on changing right now. Best advice I've gotten so far, is just set small goals you can reach on a daily basis... kind of like NaNo. Why not draw 15 minutes a day, every day, no matter what? Or use Maya for 15 minutes a day, every day? Or both! We can all spend 15 minutes doing pretty much any task, and after it's done, reward yourself, by doing something you really want to do for 15 minutes (like WoW

I'm planning on doing my own private version of NaNo in January - I have a book that I've started which I'm about twenty pages into. I plan on writing an extra 10 pages / day. If I am disciplined enough, I ought to be able to do it, and that may or may not finish the book by the end of the month. We'll see.

Cool! Why January, if I may ask? I tend to like to put off goals until a more comfortable time, but my coaches are often telling me to just make the time and dive right in, so I'm trying to embrace that. Good luck!

I'm doing an online grad school right now for Library Science, and I'll have a break in January. So while I'm not technically working, I'm pretty busy with classes - more so than I would have expected for a three full length class semester. But yeah, January will be a break between semesters so I plan on cranking out as much writing as I can then for my novel.

what you're back at school? which one?

[neru_kudasai]

Yeah, Hartnell College (it's a JC down here in Salinas) I thought I might be able to get a bit more skill with some of the programs, like Maya and what not. And that perhaps i'll be able to kick myself into getting a portfolio together.
