Awesome Moments This Week

Here are just some awesome moments that I went through this last week. They are pretty great if I do say so myself:

1- I was decorating a cake and tried to make a flower out of frosting on a cooking spray bottle. Turns out that all I got from that was a bunch of frosting on my pants.

2- I tripped down the stairs. Again.

3- Tangled came out of DVD this week, so what did I do? I have watched it ten times since and don't regret it. Also, I am pretty much in love with Flynn Rider.

4- I have been asking awesome questions all week like, "Oh you are taking 6 English classes. So what are you majoring in?"

5- I went to class feeling good about things, then I got back to my apartment and realized that my pants were not buttoned or zipped up. Luckily my shirt was long enough to cover it, but who knows?


Welcome to my life.

Breakdown over Legos

Last night had to be one of the worst nights of my life. I had a project for my 3D graphics class that was due by midnight, that I had spent the last two weeks working on. The assignment was to create this LegoMan in Maya, the 3D graphics program, with a limited environment. I had been working on it, and I spent all day yesterday finishing it up. At about 8:15 last night, I was a mere ten-fifteen minutes away from emailing it to my professor when all of a sudden, my program stopped working. I shut it down, thinking I was fine because I had this awesome habit of saving my work every 5 minutes. Turns out, it wasn't so awesome. When I got back in Maya, most of my work had disappeared. LITERALLY. All of the paints and textures that I had applied to my objects were gone! I had spent hours creating the faces and shirts and others for my zombies and plants and they were completely gone! I had saved all my images to my desktop and somehow they had deleted away from there. My entire desktop was wiped clean.
Eric Mantz came over and looked at my computer and couldn't even find them anywhere. He searched the entire operating system, and still couldn't find them. Even now, he has no clue what happened. So to sum it up, I had the breakdown of the century last night. I had this major assignment due in like two hours, and most of it was gone.
So what did I do you ask? What any sane person would do of course. I stayed up late finishing the assignment and emailed it to my professor! Somehow I managed to pull of about 12 hours of work into about 2. I definately know someone was there watching me. I can just see the Lord up there sayin, "I told you so! See, I got-cho back!"

But here is the finished product. Product #2. For those of you who don't know, it is based off of a computer game called Plants VS Zombies. Probably one of my favorite games :D


This is the Plants VS Zombies game that my assignment was based off of.

Woot for Castles!


Look at my castle everyone!! This is my very first 3D modeling sample that I created for my class. It isn't perfect so don't judge me, but I sure do feel proud of myself because it is my first assignment ever!! Yay! I sure cannot wait to do more! A Lego Man is the next assignment. It is going to be awesome! ;)
