Hey buddy ^^
Super busy and behind on college work lol and missing dA a bit, never come on here anymore ;-; but other than that, fine and fabulous, how is your lovely self? Thank you so much for stopping by, made my day heh :3 nice to see a familiar face now and then, even though technically it's not faces but you get what I mean xD

Went and did some lambing again this March and April at two different farms, and one of the orphan lambs decided to adopt me as it's mother and followed me everywhere, and got rather jealous when I bottle fed anyone else x3 bless her heart. Named her Nubbin X'D

Ah, I see. I suppose schooling and work is more important then the internet. XD Of course! I was wondering where you had been.  I've been fine. Not doing much, really.

That sounds like it would be interesting. That's funny. XD And a little sad... but I'm glad you made a friend.  My chickens sort of did that with me.  Or maybe it's just because I feed them.

starling16 In reply to Aliuh [2016-07-02 22:15:05 +0000 UTC]

To an extent because it's stressful heh, doesn't mean I don't value my friends! Had also not been seeing my partner quite a bit at the end of term there and he understood why hehe, so it's not personal to anyone :')
Although he's another reason while I've been absent I suppose haha, because he takes up all my free time :')
On other matters, I now have a good friend who intends to move to Canada one day ^^

Haha yeah bless her, it was really difficult to leave her behind. ;-; The farmer wouldn't have had a problem with me taking her because he sgtarted out with a pet sheep when he was 7 and worked his way up from there, but I just had no space near home, and our house is barely big enough for our two German Shephards let alone a small ewe as well :'3
(and small she would have been, because pet lambs are always smaller than those brought up on natural milk, and on top of that she was the smallest of a set of triplets!)

Heh I don't know anything about the mindset of chickens, or much at all really lol , but either way you have company I'd love some ducks myself~

Orly, warning taken, that's a shame :/ I wonder what makes them such butts there haha, I'll let my friend know :')

Yes indeed, she was a sweetheart with the cutest little bleat, somehow identifiable compared to the other lambs, or maybe that's just because I was around her a lot Half the time we walked about with her tucked into my waterproof dungarees :') (that I was lent because my own waterproofs turned out to be rubbish lol. One of the other lambers got so peeved at it haha, particularly one time I took her into the kitchen while I made a cup of tea on my break! (it wasn't the farmhouse kitchen though, more like a storeroom kitchen cause it had all supplies for the B&B stored there, and people clomped about in their boots in there, so I deemed it ok to carry a lamb in for 5 mins heh).

I have no idea why people are like that here.    But mist everyone I know who has lived somewhere else say the same thing.

That's funny. XD And my parents get annoyed when I bring a chicken into the house.  I know what you mean about recognised her bleat.  I have a few chickens like that.  People think I'm crazy.

Maybe they just moan a lot there instead and actually people aren't really bums haha.

Do the chickens randomly poop indoors? Cause the lamb didn't but that's probably chance lol. I wouldn't have minded if she did though, she was a week old, how was she to know
Really, wow :3 I haven't been around birds enough to know the difference, that's super cool~

xD I'm just that fabulous ;3
I don't know really, this lecturer that is known for being really grumpy and not very approving of the students progressing up to the degree... recommended I skip the year and go straight onto it?!? XD 
Apparently I think about things differently and he thinks that'll make for some great projects and it's more about your ideas and being able to get them down in a readable way, as opposed to knowing all the programs really well (which was a worry of mine since there's a lot of things I haven't been taught how to do in some of the softwares yet, but apparently some people start degree without ever having touched the programs before so I guess I'll be okay x3 )
In the end I figured I should challenge myself :3 I get told I do too much work for the standard of work required for that last course anyway hehe
and I may or may not have slightly split up with my partner who was in that class also so that would have been awkward haha

Wow.  You must have impressed them.  So.. was it the first year you got to skip?  Sorry if you already told me. XD I have a bad memory.

starling16 In reply to Aliuh [2016-10-14 16:27:02 +0000 UTC]

I guess so! 
Nah, it was the second year I skipped (2 year course). No worries lol, I don't reply often enough for any sane person to remember what I've said to be honest, so I wouldn't blame you either way :')
Thanks dear~
(Unfortunately though, my college/uni has a large open plan room full of macs and Windows touchscreens that many of the classes use, and it just so happens that his class and my class are in there at the same time for the majority of Tuesdays, so I have to deal with him staring at me and coming over to try and chat a lot anyway but hey ho)

What's bothering me though, is the fact I won't be able to go lambing this Spring ;-; (I've kind of relied on it as a breath of fresh air of sorts, to go someplace new each spring and forget about the worries of life and focus on the ewes. Even though it's not a holiday and I don't rest hah, quite the opposite, it kind of does the same thing psychologically in that sense. Also it's probably useful to do some exercise XD animating being the stationary job that it is).

Last year going for about a three weeks-a month altogether left me behind on work for the entire rest of the academic year lol, and I'm already starting to slip behind now as it is! Also we are going on a trip to Prague and Stuttgart around Easter time, which I am forking about £450 out of my loan to attend heh. Should be good though hopefully~

Aw.  That sucks more about the lambs.  I hope you can get back to it soon.  I hope you enjoy your trip!  

Don't get too far behind!  Although.. you're technically already a year ahead.

starling16 In reply to Aliuh [2017-01-09 22:33:14 +0000 UTC]

Case and point right here lol.
Hope you've had a good Christmas and New Year bud~ My grandmother has dementia so we spent it at her house caring for her and keeping her company~

Haha it's turning out to not be too bad, he just stays over wherever he's at and works these days.

Mm, coincidentally on Saturday a lady I have lambed for before, last year in fact, sent me a text asking if I were booked up for this year Really made me grin to see, I guess people appreciate hard workers She said she already has a helper, but yanow even if she doesn't need me I would love to just go and visit, they are a lovely family there, and they have a couple wooden huts on site that their friends live in, so it's like a little mini community! She even supplies them with firewood and such. Now that I can drive I go could go down and not trouble my mother with the journey too.

Thanks! Should be good :3 I'm not sure what to expect, it's so far away from home! Trip has been moved to May also, so technically I could have organised lambing afterall hehe, but I still would have been behind on uni work.

Yeah... that's a funny thought really. Both behind and ahead in a way
I'm figuring out this place is quite lacking in equipment though, would really love to be able to experience working with motion capture equipment and green screens, so I'm considering transferring to a uni that has those
Question is how to get a reference off of a lecturer without telling them why I need it haha!

Aliuh In reply to starling16 [2017-01-17 16:28:49 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!  I did.  I hope you had a nice time with your grandmother.  I'll admit I know little about the care of someone with dementia.

That's really nice that she would think of you!  That sounds like a really nice place.  I wish I could live somewhere like that.

So if you fail this year, you won't technically be behind!  Motion capture scares me. XD I  feel like I would get so frustrated with it.  Yes, that might be tough. If you transferred, do you know if you would you still be a year ahead?

starling16 In reply to Aliuh [2017-01-22 03:24:24 +0000 UTC]

Mhmm

Aye she's lovely and the place is lovely, though small I suppose. I'm considering going down between days I need to be in classes since that's a five day gap including the weekend heh. They are due to start lambing there the same week I have deadlines for two projects though so maybe the week after :')

Maybe? xD
Some people are saying it makes sense to finish this FDA (foundation degree) and do the last year elsewhere (it's two years and then a third year added on which changes it to a BA) or go into the second year of another course at least, because the first year is like an introduction to programs and such and they reckon I'll be quite bored hehe. Whatever the case, I just don't want to be missing too much information going in (since these other courses are more specialised) so that things aren't too difficult to settle into.

Well, I have no idea how complex motion capture is, but we used a green screen one time and it was simple enough to go into After Effects and more or less just delete the green :') (though obviously not quite that simple) so fingers crossed.

Sorry for the slow response. DX

That sounds like when I started to take animation.  I was somehow mislead into thinking that we would be animating the first year, but all we did was draw.  I realise that makes perfect sense, but I was so disappointed I didn't go back for the next year.

That all confuses me. XD I wish you luck though!

 Chikitita tell me what's wronggg (sorry got random things stuck in my head today)

Mhmm, they do tell us the first year is an introduction and that we will start to specialise in the second year. So you never know, it might have been alright if you had stayed
I've just been to an interview for 3D animation and that seems very intense from the beginning hehe, (at that place) seems you start off researching an animal, then model it in 3D, put a skeleton (rig) in, animate it... the whole process!

Haha, it's designed to teach you from scratch possibly, though apparently some unis want you to have an idea before signing up. I did some basic modelling in a program called Maya last year though on my animation course and I'm trying to animate a dance with a downloaded character at the moment~

Shhhh, you are perfect

If you feel like being dedicated to learning it with tutorials, Autodesk allow students to download it free for three years just say you are a student lol.
Maybe, I know the basics I'd say but on the flip side I know nothing of 3DSmax etc, so it's much of a muchness.
