Hello, Every Welcome back to my four-part series of me ranting about how stressful October is! And I mean that in a literal sense!

Last week, I talked about how the first week of October has been a nightmare-inducing week that will forever haunt me for the remainder of the month. But thankfully, that isn't the same with week 2; it is still tedious as ever but not the same vain as week 1 so I finally manage to take a breather for once. The only stressful parts about week 2 are that I and my groupmates had done a visual presentation for our Komunikasyon subject. And also I and my other groupmates (not the same as the other group) had to do another presentation on ICT. Both of them required me to use my drawing and creative skills to make the presentation appealing and enjoyable and I'm glad it turned out great (although my speech needs improvement lol).

And that was all it for Week 2, honestly, not as bad as week 1 but it did tease some upcoming activities I need to do for week 3 so I shouldn't get my hopes up.

For week 3, I'm gonna have to do a video recording of my self-introduction as well as making a 3-minute fake tourism commercial. Both of these assignments are for my Oral Com subject. Regarding the self-introduction video, I can handle it; I'd say I might do it tomorrow but for the commercial, yeah that might be tough considering it needs to be a location where you actually visited. Luckily, I and my family went on a trip to Baguio on my birthday so I have all the materials and assets I needed to make the commercial. And better yet, the deadline was supposed to be October 19 but delayed it to an unspecified date so I have more time to prepare for my commercial video.

(here's a photo I took from the balcony of an art museum)

Anyway, let's move to some of my Newgrounds stuff, and I have great news to talk about. The great news is that there is finally progress on my submission for the Sketch Collab! (WOOOOOOO!!). For almost two weeks, I didn't properly make progress on my submission, I had the concept and idea in mind but I couldn't animate it as I was, of course, busy with all of the school shenanigans. But now that I manage to jump over that hurdle, I can finally put some effort into my submission. And to be honest, I'm really proud of it! I'm completely in disbelief at how good it is considering it is my first time doing a 5-10 second animation. I don't know if it's because I watched a lot of animation tutorials or I watched a lot of cartoons, but I'm overall proud of how it turned out. It's still 1 second long though because I haven't animated the next scene yet but for now, I feel more motivated to continue animating it. I might do it in my free time whenever classes are done but we'll see how it turns out.

For my art stuff, I haven't done anything really :/ I was so focused on the animation that I haven't done anything art-related. But maybe that's good for now since I can focus my creativity on something new and fresh. Regarding my art for the Halloween contest, I don't think I'm not ready yet to draw it because I still need some inspiration for me to fully see the picture. Also, I was planning on doing a Minecraft mob vote artwork for the Minecraft event before it started but just like last year, I missed it lol. I might do it in my spare time since I want it to be quick :P

And yeah, that's all of my concerns and obstacles as of right now. Obviously, I've been taking breaks to help relax my mind a bit like playing Metroid Dread which I just bought like last week as well as playing Deltarune again just because I feel like I want to play it again. (Also, I manage to beat Jevil for the third time and I manage to record it but for some reason, it's been copyright claimed? like wtf? and it's not even the right owner. I'm very confused :/)

(also, don't mind the aspect ratio of the video, I just forgot to fix it back to it's original ratio)

(idk when I'll play chapter 2 and try out spamton neo)

Aight, I think I'm gonna end this blog post right here since it's like 1 am in the morning and it's a school night so see yeah in part 3. See ya!
