On Tuesday I'll hand in my portfolio at the local university of applied arts, to see whether I might get selected for the actual exam, and, should I pass that, admission to studying arts. That's a huge amount of 'if's, if you ask me. But anyway, this is going to be interesting.
Yesterday during training someone stepped on my hair. Which I of course only realized upon trying to get up, only to find my head being jerked back forecfully. Quite painful, I have to say (what I was doing on the floor? Well, you get thrown down a lot in JiuJitsu. :3 But falling is something I'm okay with at this point). I did not see who did it. Neither did my sister. Nobody apologized. And they surely would have noticed, I am not someone who stays quiet about their pain. Then, in the chang
... D: 2004 was also the year when my interest in Bionicle truly began to blossom. (as in, collecting sets regularly and actually following the storyline). What. How.
I'm currently attending a lab course/practicum about Quantum Optics... which is fun, adjusting lasers and stuff. I'm also quite happy with my two lab partners, they're really nice. The only downside is that I'm at uni from 9:00 to 17:00, which takes up a lot of the day if you include the two hours of travelling there and back again.
Decided to go for a Bionicleized version of the Schroedinger-theme. Also, the "oe" is not a typo. The thing is, the scientist's name was actually Schrödinger, but since I guess the "ö" would not be a legal character I settled for "oe", which is a completely legit, albeit old-fashioned, way of writing that, at least over here.
Yep. Managed to write down the rest of the lecture. Altogether there are now 50 DIN A6 cards filled with physics and stuff. Now we'll see how much of this remained in memory, and whether I studied well enough to pass - but hey, this has been an amazing exercise in willpower, as I've never done anything like that before. (normally I study for an hour at once at maximum.) Activities like name change will resume this evening, but until then... (thanks for the tons of suggestions, by the way. T
I have it. Now I have to study everything for the exam within today and tomorrow. This is going to be fun.... not. I wasted so many weekends on being scared of it instead of actually doing that, which is not a good idea. Though I am about halfway through already. (I did start somewhen two weeks ago. That was apparently not enough time. At all.)
An attempted deviation from my normal art style. I suppose it's only a small step, though. :/ Any suggestions would be great and helpful and appreciated. :3 (click thumbnail to view full drawing)
Unless my professor was sarcastic and I didn't catch on that. (no I never believe in good results. Ever. :/) Next week I should know for sure. Though I suppose I did know most of the stuff he asked? Well. I never remember much from oral exams except for incoherent rambling that probably contained enough truth. If anyone needs me, I'll be watching MoL with my sis now. Takuuuuaaaaaaa! :3
So yesterday's test in Electrodynamics went surprisingly well. I was delighted to find that one of the problems was exactly one I had gone through twice in my preparations. And a simple one, too. The first one wasn't so great, but I was able to solve most points except two, so I guess I'll be fine. Today's the exam of 'Physics of Physiological Processes', which I guess should be okay? 3 people in a 30-minute-timeslot means more or less 10 minutes per person, so I hope it will go fine. I did pr
Fun fact: some of the strategies used for solving physics or math problems are actually also useful when drawing. Specifically when getting stuck at a certain point. Break the problem down into smaller ones, similar to things you've done before, then find a way to put those puzzle pieces together. For example, when drawing a character in a perspective you've never used before, and something does not look right at all, do some 'side studies' - redraw the thing that's not working from a differ
So yesterday my siblings and I got some Gen2 sets, finally. I had almost feared we'd get them later over here, as I sorta remember it happening with Gen1 in the past. Anyway, I already loved Gali's redesign from pictures alone, but the set itself is just as gorgeous IRL. Not having built anything with the CCBS-build (?) before, that was a bit odd, but I was actually pleasantly surprised, clip-on armour or not. She has good poseability and just looks cool. Also, the feeling of unpacking and b
I know that recently my activity around here was quite... eh, let's say barely existent over the past few days, at least posting-wise. This should change again over the next weeks - I still have lots to do, yes, but that should not be an excuse for not being more active in the forums/interacting with all you awesome people, because let's be honest, I do have those twenty minutes to spare every day. (even if most of it is devoted to catching up with mafia happenings. =D) So yeah. Just a small u
Adorable. So adorable. So very very adorable. all scepticism I had is blown away. I love the art style, I do get nostalgic, the humour is okay. Awwwww. :3
that didn't go well. At all. Whether it was enough to be just positive, we'll see. I wish I could be more optimistic, but at the moment it really doesn't look like it. *sadface* Didn't learn enough, apparently, even after quadrupling my efforts... today was a bad day, anyway. I had forgotten my pencil case in the lecture jall, realized half an hour later so I went back for it - but it wasn't there so I interrupted the ongoing lecture for nothing. Thankfully it was at the lost and found, I was
I just realized while going through old problems from the exercise course again (something I didn't do first time - huge mistake, because apparently about 50% of the problems were related to the exercises. woot) that I did learn something; revisiting old problems, in many cases I can actually get to the solution a lot faster than on the first try, and they don't seem as complicated as I remember them to be (most of them, anyway). So that's probably a good sign, and might mean that I kinda unders
I've got an exam on the 18th (actually repeating the one that didn't go so well, which by the way was Theoretical Physics 2: Quantum Mechanics.) , so my preparations are going into their last (and intense!) phase - thus I probably won't be around as much until then. Just thought I'd let you know.
See above comic for a summary. I meant to post this earlier (somewhen around Tuesday evening, I suppose?) but never got around it because from Tuesday to Thursday I'm never home before 19:00-20:00, and then I really don't have the nerve to scan and edit and upload stuff. Anyway. This was drawn on Tuesday evening whilst travelling home, hence scribbliness and stuff. Really though, I now at least know what I hadn't yet understood properly. That's at least something. *optimism*
Today I found out that my favourite alt/gothic store, and essentially the last one in my city that I know of, is closing on the 20th of december. That is super sad. Especially because I had hoped that at least this one would survive; too many disappeared over the past two years.
