Hello future me, it must feel good to be in April. Remember back in January when it was cold and you were shivering? Well now when you’re reading this it’s really hot outside and you can wear shorts. That’s a little off topic though, how are you doing in animation? Hopefully you haven’t been in labs all night chugging red bulls because as you remember when you burb after drinking a red bull it tastes awful. It’s really difficult for you not to procrastinate but I hope that you managed to plan ahead and spent multiple nights in the mcmaster labs working on projects a little bit at a time. Also don’t ever panic, I know that you have good ideas in your head because as the you from the past I know what goes on in your mind. Just takes a deep breath and come up with an awesome idea. You’ve done it a million times before.
You have a smart phone, you should use its calendar and alarm functions to help you remember important dates and deadlines. The worst thing you can do with a project is forget about it. That will just totally mess up grades and jobs. If you mess up your grades and jobs you will have to move back in with your parents and you won’t have access to a cool animation lab. I wonder if the sponge bob guy had good grades…maybe future me has googled that by now. Oh here is more advice, don’t believe everything that you google. Anyone can post a misleading website. Although as far as animation goes I bet google helps out a lot. Maybe you read the amination text book for this class and learned a lot of cool stuff without google, if so keep up the good work. Apply your knowledge and make many animated shorts that entertain normal people.
Right now you’re feeling curious and eager to learn about new tools and animation programs. I hope future me hasn’t lost that spark. You did good working on your flip book, hopefully you did well on all of the weekly projects due every Tuesday, otherwise your Mondays probably sucked while you spent hours doing the animation assignment. The you from the past really doesn’t want to spend hours every Monday doing a project to turn in on Tuesday so that works out in your favor towards breaking the habit of procrastinating. I guess we will have to just wait until April to see how things went.
Sincerely the past you.
