Mini-Portfolio

I started college as a Business major concentrated on Accounting. I chose this rather "dry" major because I'd always wanted a simple 9-5 job that could make a decent amount of money.So that was my plan when I was 18 years old. However, after I took my first business course, I realized that this wasn't what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, so I went on and change my major to Heath Science. Again, I wanted to find something "easy" to do, which wasn't easy for me because my heart wasn't in it... Then at the end of my second year at SJSU, I took 2 beginning art classes, and I'd finally realized that doing something I really enjoy doing is more important than how much money I make in the future. And that's how I'd given art a chance. I'd always love drawing since I was a kid. Actually, I love seeing the final product of my work. I love the satisfy feeling of finishing a piece of art. Today, I'd officially became a BFA student in Animation/Illustration program. I am looking forward to the challenges that I will face and the satisfy feeling when I overcome those. For once in my life, I choose a hard road rather than an easy way out, and so far I'm glad made that decision because I remember a quote from the A/I website, "if you want to success, choose something hard and do it better than anyone else."

First Post of the Semester

Today is the second day of school, and also the first class of Physics of Animation. The room was a little hot, hopefully by the next class, there will be AC or at least the fan would be turned on. Other than that, the experience of the first class was awesome. The "VAMPIRE" demonstration was really 'thrilling'. Although I don't know what is it for. I guess it's to proof that Mr. Garcia's body is harder than the brick ? jk. I'm looking forward to learn more about physics through out the semester.
