I don't tell you how to tell me what to do, so don't tell me how to do what you tell me to do.

Ugh, school...

Posted by Jimtopia - April 9th, 2009


First off, even though it's late, congrats to Tom and April on their baby (Tom Jr.)! Better late than never.

(Please Note: If you do not care enough to read it all, please scroll down to the tl;dr section at the bottom.)

Secondly, I believe that I have a little explaining to do seeing as I've only released one cartoon since 2009 began. Well, at the end of February I managed to get a job at a local computer help desk for ten bucks an hour. And given the economy I was lucky to get a job anywhere, so I took it. It's only part-time, so Monday-Thursday from 1-5 o'clock. But I also have class from 8-Noon Monday-Thursday as well, so between class and work and homework, since the end of February I've had close to no time to work on any of the projects that I've wanted to, and it's been driving me nuts. Don't get me wrong, learning new skills and new software (such as Maya, AfterEffects, etc...) is great, but I do miss the days when I could spend a good 5 hours on a Flash and just get a big chunk of it done. But man, I really just haven't had the time.

But with the school year drawing to a close fairly soon, I really want to get about 3 (maybe 4 if you're lucky) cartoons done before the end of July. One of which being a Jim related cartoon, the other two being completely new things that I've never tried before (so far they're looking pretty good). I may upload some sort of compilation video to Youtube at the end of the school year to show you all the stuff I've done, but we'll see where that goes.

Tl;dr: I got a job, and that combined with schoolwork has eaten up all my time; but I want to get about 3 new cartoons done by mid-summer.

Thanks for Reading,

Could should would... wont. :)

need help with the voices on any of your flashes if so i can help

If I need help I'll give ya a holler.

UGH, SCHOOL.

IKNORITE

I'm honestly in the same situation. I want to plan out a ton of projects for the future, but I have four honors classes along with track and baseball to worry about. Ughhh... thank god I have the day off tomorrow.

Days off are nice. Unless you have to do homework that is.

fuck school! Who needs that?!

Who indeed.

Could Should Would

WILL! I COMMAND YOU TO! ROAR :3

o_o

I feel ya buddy.
I'm going in to my last 6 months myself and the work is piled up as high as ever.
but keep a trucken, you'll pull threw....ot you crack and march in to the office one day and start spraying everyone with a full auto.
but either way you'll be ok....sort of :P

Hehe, I doubt that I'll be committing any office shootings, my coworkers are nice, but the job itself just eats up so much time.

I'll look foward to it

Cool.

I justed crashed my teachers car for giving me a B on my test ;3

Niiiice...

No one likes school, but the suffering is worth it to see that passing mark on your report card.

Yeah, no it's not. :(

At least you tried. (Jeez man, have some persistence in your goals. Once a month? Hah.)

Eh, your still awesome. But your awesomeness depends on the viewers viewing stuff! Don't let the flame die out! No pressure....

Yeah the once a month thing died long ago. School just really got in the way this past year. Sorry to dissapoint.

AW COME ON YOU MEAN I DID THOSE LINES FOR NOTHING?!!

I never said that. Fizz is still in production.
