Rag week. School was off, but I found a guy who is setting up his own media company, and I am helping him setting up a visual image for it. Didnt have any access to computers though, so my 'work' was mainly doing scetches by hand.

So, Toni and Toni from my homeland arrived on Monday. Hey are neat fellows, stick mostly to themselves, but so do I so we get along fairly well. Drinking was heavy the last week: on thursday I had to show Galway around to the finns, thursday was students night out (met some cool swedes), on friday this one chick from an art class I happened to randomly run into a couple of weeks before had a birthday party, and on saturday I just had to take it easy.

School? Still the same projects. This week I was very pleased that the tempo of studying is much easier than in Finland. Also ran into a fellow who is starting his own business. He might give me some projects to do for building up his firms visual image.

A week went by so fast I forgot to update the blog (woops). Nothing super special happened, but it was generally a good and fun week. On Monday, we continued with the ad. I got to the editing phase, and realised that summarising three movies in a one minute ad is insanely hard. I edited one punch line with a conversation from two movies and had already used 30 seconds.. this is going to be a serious tetris challenge...

3D continues to be a challenge, not because the assignments are hard (in fact they are much easier than anything we did in Finland) but blender continues to speak a different language than me. I really miss my Maya. On other courses, we are learning script writhing and storyboarding in debt, something that we lacked in our education back home. So while studying here is not as fast paced, I feel that I am getting something of it, which is good.

As far as health goes, I have finally killed of the otitis, but now a some kind of tumour has grown under my left eye. So yeah.. from one problem to the next. I really hope to avoid having to operate it.
