Life : Held to a Higher Standard

And the consequences thereof. Not necessarily a bad thing either.

It seems my professors have finally noticed that I'm dead serious about actually making it in my animation career, and that they've realized that I'm a descent artist.
This whole semester has felt WAY different because of that - my personal favorite part is when my professors are laughing about something with someone else on the other side of the room and they yell at me and say "Hey! You should draw that!".

It's great, you have no idea how long I've been fighting to get them to notice me and I finally feel like I can get my feet off the ground now.
But at the same time, now that they know how good I am they hold me to what I can become. So instead of breezing through it all, now I have to kick my butt in gear and actually get stuff done. Which kinda makes me miss the old days - I'm rather fond of kicking back and doing nothing - but also makes me excited for what lies ahead. I'm sure the level of expectations at Disney and Dreamworks and other companies like that are just as high if not higher. I'll totally be able to make it into/survive working in the industry.

I know it's going to be hard, but daggnabbit, I'm gonna make it look easy if it kills me.
