Inspiration

I made the mistake of thinking that inspiration to work on a project I really didn't want to do would eventually come to me right in time to get it done. In this case, I did not work well under pressure. I got a little sick last night at work, so again I put my homework off until I had a nap. At midnight, boyfriend woke me up and I started by getting to work on the assignment due first, creative and critical thinking. Got the two drawings I needed to get done, done. Then my stomach got to me again so I went to bed, thinking I could get it done if I woke up early. Set my alarm for 7am, heard it, ignored it, woke up at 7:30 thinking oh shit...not a nice way to wake up. Started working on the Graphic Design assignment by hacking up the old version a bit. But I realized that my lack of time wasn't going to allow for the amount of creativity I needed to put into this. I watched a movie to keep myself awake and it ended up distracting me more of course.

So here I am, in C&CT trying to think of ways to talk to my GD teacher so he doesn't think I'm a total waste of time slacker...

My real excuse is that I'm the kind of artist that can make paintings or drawings look realistic, but when it comes to fun cool looking things my mind goes blank...I'm afraid to be adventurous because I'm afraid to fail and look like a fool for doing something different. The only way to fix this problem is to just push myself to do the thing I don't want to do, over and over and over and over until I come up with some cool idea to apply to the project.
