I知 still alive

Fri Jun 19, 2009, 5:29 AM
Well it’s been the best part of a year now and I really must apologise for myself.
The past year had been quite an adventure, and a bit of a rollercoaster, both in an academic sense and relationships wise. Nonetheless going to university was the best decision of my life, absolutely worth every penny in student dept for the experience alone. If you get the chance to do it, go for it.

Now, having contributed precious little to this community in recent months I feel quite guilty for all the unfulfilled promises. I guess I could blame my course for this, which I have found hard going, as I am a bit of a workaholic and committed to my studies. There is no exaggeration to say that there have been many sleepless nights trying to get work in on time, and that’s not because I leave things to the last minute. Not deliberately anyway.

I am studying Mechanical Engineering at Brunel University, west London. The course is about 4 years long, full time, and can be a right pain sometimes.

Well I have gotten my priorities sorted out now, and I have not given up here; I will finish what I have started.

Firstly though, there has been something that has been bothering me for a while that I really must get sorted, it is also one of the reasons for my lack of activity here; my username. I hate it.
Why o’ why did I chose that name I think to myself every time I log in; it’s stupid, big-headed, and makes me sound like I’m up myself.

I’ll get a new account sorted and transfer my work that I still think is worth having. Sure I’ll lose the page views and the favourites etc but its necessary.
A fresh start is what I need. Just like how university was a fresh start that allowed me find out who I really was, and meet the people who will be my friends for life.

Again I must apologise for not updating at all, but I will try and make it up.

Thanks, and I hope you are well

Edit: my most popular piece of work, the scale diagram for the deceptions from the first transformers movie, has just been removed due to copyright violation. :(
It’s strange how only now it has been removed, having had it for so long already. I also wonder what will happen too all the other pieces of work out there that use the original concept art/CGI renders of the transformers. It’s annoying, but there is nothing much I can do about it.

You know what, it's good to hear from you again. :D Glad to hear that you're putting your efforts forth in school (despite how heavy that load might be) D: Having a fresh start at a university always seems like a fresh start on your adult life, doesn't it? XD I'm currently going through that now, too.

HAH haaaaah...your username never bothered me. XDD But I suppose if you really do want to change it and get a new account, just be sure to notify us. ^^ Glad to see you around again, though!

Aww that’s so sweet of you, thanks :D and it’s nice to hear from you too, how have you been?
Yes University is great for making a fresh start, I’m finding it is defining the person I will be for the rest of my life. I hope you have a great time at uni too, try not to work too heard though like I tend to do XD

I’m thinking on changing my username to the one I use for my spore account; Bugbot64, hopefully it will be more suitable :P
Thanks again for sticking with me, I’ll make sure you know when I eventually change over!
Nice to hear from you again! :)

I've been busy. :noes: This entire school year (and my job) had me up and running every which way for a good 9 months, but now that summer's here (and I quit my job), I can finally breathe again (as well as sleep in till noon for a while) XD. And it looks like we'll both be starting an entire new school semester fresh in the fall, so I'm currently looking forward to that, too. XD I'll probably be studying a lot more next semester, though, because my classes will be a little more involved (this semester was not as hard as I thought, but it kinda got away from me). Hopefully I'll be able to stay on top of things and not procrastinate like I usually do, and hopefully you won't stress out too much. :XD:

It's always a pleasure talking with you. ^^ Oh, and if you haven't seen the new Transformers movie yet...GO SEE IT. XDD It's a blast.

Nice to hear from you too, how have you been doing lately?
:iconmortalsphere:
not too bad. I've been a little slow with the art stuff too. Too much work and such.

It’s a pleasure to talk to you too! :D
Yea this summer I was planning to get a job to keep me busy but it’s so nice to be free and be able to sleep in till midday like you say haha
Next year will be harder I have been told, but hopefully I’ll be able to organise myself better so I don’t get as stressed as I did last year
I wish you all the best next semester, you should really enjoy it!

Also I saw the new Transformers movie recently; it’s definitely a step up from the first one! I’m currently making a model based on it (I shant spoil the surprise though, I’ll probably jinx myself anyway by saying it :XD:)
