C- minus is passing, and it is your friend.

wait, I just double negatived there

I feel like you less double-negatived, and more “C minus minus: less than a C minus but still not quite the level of a D plus”

SO WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO WARM UP TO MARRIAGE EDGEWORTH

Response: Great question! I think you can do all of it (as long as it’s not like a lot of NSFW stuff - just my opinion on that) for your blog, while keeping it more portfolio professional for other outlets like Vimeo and your portfolio website. Show your interests, your fun projects that you would think would entertain masses. See if those works can be done with original characters, not just fan art character animation (it’s a great challenge, and later be portfolio pieces - say like storyboards, character turnarounds, etc.). 

What you can also do is have a project (and not that it’s a lengthy one, just a few seconds), where you can show your thumbnails/storyboard/animatic, to rough animation, and then clean up. It gives us an idea of what your strength(s), how you think in regards to the process of animation. 

The one sure thing about sharing, is to be consistent in your posting when you can. Things can get busy (and believe me, I understand) - but the ones who stand out the most in animation and tumblr blogs, are those who continue to update on a consistent basis, and always has something bringing to the table. 

I found using student work spaces was really good for getting work done. Of course, on bad days, my paranoia would act up, but the act of getting ready to "go to work" really helps. I even scheduled a daily alarm for "get to work."

I am sending you POSITIVE THOUGHTS and hoping that this goes well hon! < Keeping my fingers crossed!

OMG GOOD JOB!!! :DD …that was sort of an unintentional pun. ALSO CONGRATULATIONS!

Maybe it's less so when you're younger, but school is so huge and varied, with people following different paths, that you're not being "left behind."

I keep trying to tell myself that, that everybody’s doing their own thing, and for whatever standard of “average” I’ve made up to hold myself to there’s probably at least several of my friends who also aren’t on that course and I don’t know or care because we don’t scrutinize other people as much as we do ourselves...
