today was an eye opener. zbrush presentation today. not satisfactory. we had to make a model thingy using this software. and present our model accompanied with an idea of what it can be used for. my idea was a substitute for antacids. something you can eat and it will absorb the acid. haha. i was complimented for the idea. but not the model. had spent 2 days on another idea and trying to make it look like the object in the picture, but it was harder than i thought. so i just cancelled the whole previous idea. and sian of zbrush, i just created something simple. but conjuring up fantasies abt what it could be used for was not so sian.
my thought was, it would be hard to come up with an idea for the object if i just explored the brushes and tools. so instead, my idea was highly complicated, but my model was simple. which is essentially how objects like red blood cells are anyways. complicated functions but simple in design. sheesh. dont they understand that. hurhur. so, in order to score high marks, the project has to be complicated in design and in idea?
before that. management of behaviour. aka mob. presentation. we used microsoft word instead of powerpoint. we didnt copy out and paste into powerpoint. that was the only thing. got points deducted from there. ohmygosh. points points points.
im seriously sore about today. was talking to ber abt how today went. thank goodness i met such a good friend in my class to relate to. =) jc eligible, all that jazz. we're seeing colours now. the real world. i cant really think of one day where we dont present SOMETHING. mob is forever presentations. so is effective communication. next wk, ec oral. next monday in fact. discuss professionally, the broad topic of global warming. in a group, find articles on tt and present a well structured discussion in front of the teacher, while being able to answer any questions that she presents. no singlish. that part's ok. EVERYTHING'S counted for GPA. which is kinda duh.
i know im making it all sound so sian-ish. but i still prefer all these to sec skl and jc work. everything has it's downside. and in my situation, the downside is not having to do so many presentations, my awesome class makes it a joy to do presentations in front of, but it's when you think you have done something which is worthy of appreciation and compliment from the teacher, and unfortunately, it is not the case.
whoever thought poly was easy, must have been seriously misled... im starting to feel the heat of it all.
