I've also been working on collecting the 50 images required for today's lesson to be assessed by Neil, which, even though the written information wasn't complete yet, I had managed to collect 50 images, and to my surprise, when I got to college today, I had done more on this task than anyone else did in the class, and Neil was pleased with what I had done so far! All I had to do now was to write how each image could influence my project, which I knew would take a while, as I would have to think about exactly how each image would influence my project. I was feeling quite relaxed in the classroom this morning, whilst writing about how each image would influence my project one way or another. However, I am not at the stage of the project where I've finalised my idea yet, and will need to start writing the proposals for some ideas I have tomorrow.
I also feel that I am trying to be a lot more social with people at college, which is making me feel much happier, even if I just say hello to them. I'm really trying to not hold myself back before going into a social situation, which often resulted in me walking away from it, because I get too nervous before going into social situations, which has really frustrated and upset me, because I really do want to try and get to know some people around college a lot better. I am really going to try my hardest to not hold myself back going into social situations from now on, and I feel I made huge progress this lunchtime and yesterday's lunchtime, spending time with some of the New Media and current Interactive Media students at lunchtimes, which has been quite good for me so far.
The only mistake I feel I made today socially is not talking to someone I know that hasn't been too well recently, because they looked at me like they would have wanted to talk to me a bit more, but I wasn't too sure what else to say to them, I said hi and asked them how they were, and couldn't think of anything else to say, and to be honest I wish I did talk to them more, as they seem quite nice.
This afternoon it was the seminar, which to my surprise did go really well! I feel I managed to talk enough about what I've read to prove I have done my homework and read the six books that were set for us to read. I also feel that Scott spoke very well too, and so did Ananda, even though I don't really like how he tends to interrupt people and talk over them, which is something I find very irritating with a lot of people, especially when I need a couple of seconds to think about what I have to say. I felt a bit sorry for David, who didn't really contribute as much, but I do feel and could tell from today that he has had a lot on his mind, and is genuinely finding things difficult. I wasn't really too sure what to say to him, so I decided it was best to not say anything to him, and to give him some space. I really felt sorry for him, because I've felt a few times, with all that goes on in my life, that things can get a bit too much at college sometimes.
I did feel that the seminar was a lot more about the history than I expected of the three animation companies we were set to read about, ILM, Disney and Pixar, and not a lot said about their actual works, such as how Pixar did the primary research required for films such as A Bug's Life and Finding Nemo, as well as how they decided which powers each of the Incredibles were going to have and how each power related to each family member's family position and age, which are the things I have personally found most interesting about reading all these books. A lot was mentioned about Steve Jobs too, and I did notice that these books had a lot of business aspects to them, which to me weren't so exciting to read about, probably because I don't see myself as a businessman, I see myself as creative, so I tried to discuss this a bit, even though I only read through the Steve Jobs books very quickly in preparation for last week, the original seminar date.
I've felt that today has gone really well, especially seeing how nervous I was this morning and at the start of this week, because of not feeling too happy last week. I can also see that Neil and Lynda were both very pleased with me today, which does mean a lot.
As a treat, dad and I saw Wreck it Ralph tonight, which would be the second time I've seen this film at the cinema! Still the best Disney film of the 21st Century so far, and I would really love to get that Art of Wreck it Ralph book soon to help inspire my work somehow.
