#excursion week

[a-robots-portfolio]

lets face it, im never going to finish writing my reflection of the excursion week. so here's the short version:

day one: robot museum and boring museum where you could smell stinky stuff and touch fake copies of paintings

day 2: brussels. p dang awesome. bought a CD for my parents. oh and we also went to a comic museum (cool concept but v small and meh) and i went to the museum of European History with a classmate (very cool, big old history stuff, we didn't have time to get through all of it but my classmate translated some Latin there and I was very impressed)

day 3: Playgrounds. Festival-type thing. Was all right, got jumpscared by Sett bc we walked in on an artist talk by a Riot artist. Made a cool Melatron tote bag. yay

day 4: 10/10 amazing. Playgrounds again, but saw much more cool artists and also got James Baxter's autograph. Watched him animate a dog too, and teared up during his showreel because my childhood flashed before my eyes. Also briefly met Tina Nawrocki (if i misspelled her surname im so sorry) and she gave incredible animation advice. Cool stuff.

there. boom. done. moving on.

Excursion week <3

This week has just been absolutely crazy /pos

i'm currently sitting at my desk, Saturday morning 5:34 AM, unable to sleep because I'm just filled with this intangible enthusiasm, a sort of quiet happy fizzing feeling inside me that makes me want to lock myself in my room an animate a million things at once, but also makes me want to run and jump and dance until I drop exhausted to the floor. Yeah. That kind of crazy.

I really really wish I had had the time (or perhaps taken the time, I suppose) to reflect on this week as it was happening, because it was so incredibly full and so much happened. But the same jam-packed schedule that has me waking up at the inconceivable hours of the dawn (I can hear the first bird singing outside my window, which I can assure you is a novelty considering my usual sleeping schedule) was also the reason I felt too depleted after each day to take the time for some good old journalling. A note for next time, I suppose: find the time. You'll wish you had. But either way, I'm going to try get as much of it down now as possible, while it's still fresh. Buckle up boys, this is going to be a wild ride.
