It has been a while since I have written anything, so yes I am doing this entry to share with everyone what has happened in the past.. 3-4 months I think.
I guess I'll start at the beginning, of what happened right before the summer of 2011;
At the time I was still a first year student, my grades were all perfect and I had no trouble at all. People thought I lived at school because I showed up whenever they were open and went home whenever they closed, I spend a lot of time there because my rig was not up to par with the quality we had to deliver; sure I could model but I couldn't even render out an .mp4 without running out of memory.
I spend too much time at school working on homework assignments etc. because as part of our bachelor studies we have what we call a mid-year assessment and an end-year assessment. Basically you show a board of teachers what you made during your classes and we had strict rules as to how many hours we had to put in personal assignments which we call ISA-projects; we needed 6 ISA points and each point represented 36 hours of work, 3 at the mid-year and another 3 at the end-year. I had put so much work into my studies that I had only gained 1,5 points by the mid-year and was still struggling in terms of what they expected from me when it came to making your own projects. This because they could not be anything, no you had to learn something from it and they had to approve your learning skill. And so it came to be that I had to redo ISA projects during summer, I wasn't kicked off like some other students but had a 2nd chance. I had to redo 1,5 points and then I would pass the first year, if I failed then I would be kicked off from school. Is it strict? I don't think so, this is what a bachelor degree is and many people drop off at the first year (and aren't allowed to retake a class at the school for at least 3 years), in our first year we started with 28 people or so, by the end of summer we were left with 15 or so.
So during summer I worked my but off, but not before getting some great news from taxes. I received about 1K in euro's as overpaid taxes and the first thing I did was build myself a new computer with the help of a good friend. After that I continued doing my summer job at a nursing home cleaning houses of old people and ridding through my home town cleaning people's mansions. Whenever I got home (I worked from 8 to 5 Monday to Friday, except for Wednesday) I would nap for an hour and then get up to work on those projects, I would also work each free day I had because it was very important to me. A classmate of mine helped me decide what was best to make and so I made an animation and 2 models which turned out very good.
By the end of August I showed the board what I had made, my mentor was included and they approved it right away. Int he meantime I found what I really like doing; modelling and designing.
So I had passed and received my propaedeutics degree and joined many of my new found friends in the 2nd year.
I'll tell the rest another time
I'm rather flu infected at the moment, next time I will also upload new Sanne photo's

About the cutest dog in the world...
3 min read
Hell there people, Karuma again.
I just finished uploading a massive load of summer photo's I took from Sanne my Pembroke Welsh Corgi.
I must add that I also filmed her shortly while she was lazy, become a witness to how lazy she is and watch it here
www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1EESx…
It isn't wide screen or anything pro but just by the same camera I snap pictures with.
Anyway I wanted to share some things about my silly pet Sanne and share some information about her.
Sanne is a 3 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi we got as a pup when she and 2 others were still unsold in a nest of dogs. I had owned a dog before that a bigger one (lab crossed with rottweiler) which we had to put down just a month before we got her. We were sad when our previous dog died, he was ill and kind of cracked on medication but a very important friend in my life when I was a kid.
So when he died we wanted to wait a couple months before buying a new dog, that plan was quickly thrown out as we all realized we needed at least one dog in our life all the time. They were a part of our family, like a brother or sister and not having one was making us depressed and we would cry when we would come home because no one was greeting us. The basket spot was just an empty place now.
So we ended up with Sanne, who at the time looked like a little fox. The breed in my side of town is rare, there are only 4 of them in my hometown and so it was kind of special for everyone to have this kind of dog walking around.
At first I really didn't like this breed but I fell in love with her nevertheless and would take another corgi in a heartbeat.
You see unlike our last dog she is really silly and lazy, the first day we had her she fell in our pond after about 20 minutes and we had to save her literally since she couldn't swim yet.
Over the years I have been taking pictures of her and I found out that in the early mornings she looks very sleepy and very cute and so whenever I could I would take pictures of her then before skipping off to work. This is basically how this small collection started.
I will start sharing short experiences I have had with my dog Sanne in this journal as I am now away from her to study in college and cannot take a lot of pictures of her anymore until the major holidays start and I get to go home.

It's a wide world out there!
7 min read
It has been a while hasn't it. I don't always make journal entries, only when I have important news.
Well anyway, perhaps I had mentioned it in the previous entry. Maybe not, but anyway a while ago I applied for a very good university school for a degree in 3D animation & visual effects. A very hard school to get into and I worked very hard for it also.
Well anyway I got accepted
I feel so proud and happy! I managed to get through the rounds and after a very nervous intake conversation I finally heard after 3 weeks that I got accepted.
Anyway, I just wanted to share the entire process, this might be handy if you ever plan on going into such a school. Perhaps you might get to know me a little in process.
When I applied for the uni I received a list of assignments I had to fulfill, these were all non computer assignments.
1. make a character, draw it out and make a small story involving it. Then with real material like clay create a bust of the character, which is like shoulder and up. Like the Caesar head statues of Rome's kingdom.
2. make the first shot of a suspense movie, material is your own choice as it is in all assignments.
3. you were given a word, I forgot the word for the moment but you had to make a setting using the word and draw it from different perspectives. The letters had to be shapes and you had to recreate your plan using whatever material you picked.
4. write a motivational letter that tells about yourself and why you want to enter the school.
Well anyway here's what I did:
1. I made a story about a desolated world after a wrong outcome in the Cold War, however after the human died due to a nuclear fallout the toys took over and kind of made the remains their own society. The story was about a small robot waking up and finding his owner. I drew out a rogue side character, a barbie doll with all her hairs pulled out and cracker face.
I made the bust with clay and painted it, it was quite big, probably the size of a normal human head.
I also made drawings of front, side and expressions. Which had to be added, you needed drawings of expressions etc. also.
2. I took a low shot of a bedroom, in the early evening with clothes spread over the floor and wine spilled over the carpet, like someone had a wild night with a girl the day before.
I had these pencils that you could colour with but adding water would make it paint, I used them to colour the drawing.
3. I made an optical, I think it was optical, illusion. I wanted the letters split in two, one side big and the other small and place then on paper far away from each other so that when you stood and looked from a certain point you could read the word. I made the letters by pasting together pieces of cardboard to make them thicker and then in the photo studio at my internship pasted it together. I used a camera to easily view the read point and then replaced it with a photocamera to snap pictures.
I will be posting photo's of those things on my profile somewhere later on.
Well anyway, on the exam day there were a lot of people. About 200 from a couple different courses showed up, about 30 were of my course. Most were all neckbeards and guys, there were only 2 girls and I was one. I was the only one wearing a neath suit coat and heels XD
I also borrowed a laptop from my friend to show my work on.
Well anyway, we had to go to a classroom and place our made assignments out, only photo's, and what we made ourselves.
We then had to leave and a teacher would hand pick those who were allowed for the next round, we would not be there when he did it and would hear it 3 hours later in the college room.
I hadn't realized that my friend's laptop logged out with a password protect after a while, I only heard about that later.
A lot of people had awesome 3D work and had done some very nice assignments for companies, I felt kind of out of place really. There were also newbies, people who drew anime and only had that to show next to their badly planned assignments. You must remember to plan those things, I took 2 months to finish the 3 assignments I got.
Anyway we all went to the college classroom, all 200 something of us and there your name would be read if you passed the first round. If not you had to get your things and go home. My name was read so yay!
We then had to wait until a teacher would pick us up for round 2: a conversation.
I was 3rd or 4th to go and it was supposed to be 10 minutes long.
However, I am a very nervous person if you get confronting, that was exactly what the guy did. He constantly asked me why I wanted to do this course and I shut down kind of.
I showed him my material, it was 1 teacher and 2 students. He liked what I made and later another teacher came in whom I had seen when I came at one of the info days. He was much kinder and we spoke normally.
At the end I took a lot a courage when they asked me if I wanted to add something before leaving. I honestly and nervously told them I really wanted to do this and that I take it seriously since I also pay for it myself. If you pay for things yourself you realize the value of it, if you mess up it is thrown away money which is what I try to avoid. Anyway I left feeling horrible, I already felt like I flunked but waited for a response regardless.
The response would be send out by letter within 15 work days, so it would be 3 weeks. After 3 weeks I got an email from them stating that the result would be emailed and not written by letter. I felt horrible afterward again thinking that all the people who got through received a letter and the rest they would not waste the paper on so they would email them.
Then 1 day later I got an email with a huge wall of text and somewhere in the middle it said I was accepted to start in the first year in September. I couldn't believe it at first, I reread it so many times! When I tried telling my mom I had to check again just in case I was dreaming and had actually failed.
Anyway yay I got in! But the fund didn't stop there, the uni is in the middle of the country, 2 hours by train back and 2 hours forth. So I started looking for a place to stay even though a lot of people, specially students have trouble finding a living space affordable and in the big cities.
Well I found one in 3 weeks, the third one I went looking at and it is small, cheap but has electric etc. included and has internet.
It is a small nice room with a nice big window on the other end. I will add snaps when I am done redecorating it.
So after summer I am finally moving out of the house and on my own, I've lived on my own before but then for 6 months but this time it is for a very long time and hopefully for good X3

I'm back, I survived the winter again as always. I don't like winters they kind of make me insomniac, last year I started sleeping around 3Am and now it is basically the same thing all over again. The long dark hours in the morning make me more tired and I am very glad the darned snow is gone.
I made pictures of the weather and the snow, I will try and find them soon and post them up. This year in the Netherlands we had more snow than usual and since my part time job is also being a mail delivery girl I had a lot less fun and a lot more cussing and cold feet going on than usual.
They say it can still snow, but I hope it doesn't since the snow is now all gone. The weather changed to something in between winter and spring, which I like since it isn't wet, there is a nice smell of Earthy minerals and young sprouts and the sky views at night are amazing since there isn't a cloud up in the air.
Other news, in a couple weeks I have entrance exams for a new study-course I really want to follow, I decided on 3D & Visual Effects mostly because I like this subject and love making things out of nothing.
These last couple weeks I have been working hard on the assignments they gave me and I will upload pictures etc. of it all on my Dev art as well for you to see.
I also have quite some drawings lying around that will need scanning sometime in the future, again look forward to those.
I also passed all my subjects at my current course, right now I have my last internship period until the end of this school-year and I have nothing that I have to redo, I passed everything with flying colors. I feel so happy X3
And as a last LAST adding, Sanne had a lot of fun this winter (at least she had fun with the snow), since she has such short legs she couldn't walk through the high snow properly, instead she's bunnyhop all over the place and take a piss while standing which looked very strange. She had a lot of fun running around, running up the hills and rolling off them cause of the snow (once again short legs, she does quite some barrelrolls because of them).
That was it basically, Karu again over and out~

I look outside my window and I see nothing but rain, my nose is runny and it is getting colder at night. Seriously it's as if someone pulled the plug of our Summer season.
I'm not complaining though, I love fall but the whole change over is simply annoying and pulls me out of my routine. For example I feel like drinking hot choco and watching movies all day long, I tend to be pulled back into Asian horror, drama's and comedy series and I start listening to Asian pop music at random. This season I decided on Utada Hikaru's This is love song, been listening to it non stop since this morning, when it starts getting winter I'm almost certain that I will start hating it.
School started as well, however it has been a week and already I'm hating it. They have a new building attached to ours and so for the public eye they placed guards on every corner, you're not allowed to eat or drink in the hallways and you have a new entrance on the other side. Really as a school senior class-member I feel so insulted by all this, in my 3 years that I have wandered there no one has ever even had the nerve to call me or anyone else back because they had a cup in their hands and were walking in the hallway. I'm not the only one, every oen is pissed off at the new regime that is plaguing our school.
The next couple months I will also be VERY busy, I got evicted from my home so I'm going to be low on cash for a while (that while int he next couple months I have to pay double the school fee which will be about a 150% higher than my income for that month). Since it is my last year and after this I want to move to Amsterdam again (if I get through in the film academy that is of course, planning and dreaming is nice but it will have to happen first) I hope I can get a a place long enough and not get evicted again. The eviction was even through court, I didn't get warned but instead got a letter from the district that I was to show up at court at a certain date with the claim that the district wanted me out within 2 days, really they had never even let me know that they were planning on suing me. Apparently the house I have been living in for quite a while was about to be sold by the district to some drug addiction rehabilitation clinic and so they wanted em out asap, too bad the 2 days changed into 8 weeks so I have a while to figure out what I'm going to do but either way this sucks.
Not only this, but I need to find a new internship address again also (since our school is too lazy to find one for its students), I really don't feel like applying and going to the intake meetings. I also have to write myself on the waiting list for a home in Amsterdam in case I do get accepted in the school I want to go, since I live far FAR away I get the priority list but figuring this all out is really time consuming and stressful (also cause you have to pay to get on the list and like I said I have little money lol I have 10 bucks for the next 2 weeks XD )
The one thing I am exited about is my end year project, we can make up a school project and then get to work on it for 6 months before handing it in as an exam. I've always wanted to make my own cellphone commercial, I think car and phone commercials are one of the best (even if I don't give a shit about phones or cars, heck I'm not that technical) and so I decided to make my own phone and make a commercial with it. I'll keep you updated about it of course, however there might be a problem already and it is making me tear my hair out right now: I need a green screen room to make my recordings but our school is so low budget that they threw out the only bit of green screen they had (wallpaper roll that was painted green, can you imagine >.< ), they were planning on getting a new one but that might be done at the end of the year when I am supposed to graduate. However the new building (owned by another school) has a recording studio and a green-screen room, a room for God's sake a fucking square room with green screen all over it and high class lighting equipment! Now next week I have to figure out with my teacher and their school-board if I can make my recordings there, it's that or I have to make my own green-screen room and of course school would expect me to pay for it (which is impossible because it is too expensive for me to afford). I just hope this gets resolved quickly..
I was also thinking of selling my drawings, just to get some extra cash flowing in you know?
But that later, I don't even know yet if anyone would be willing to buy work by me D:
anyway, Karu over and out~

I'm not the only one, every oen is pissed off at the new regime that is plaguing our school.
The next couple months I will also be VERY busy, I got evicted from my home so I'm going to be low on cash for a while (that while int he next couple months I have to pay double the school fee which will be about a 150% higher than my income for that month). Since it is my last year and after this I want to move to Amsterdam again (if I get through in the film academy that is of course, planning and dreaming is nice but it will have to happen first) I hope I can get a a place long enough and not get evicted again. The eviction was even through court, I didn't get warned but instead got a letter from the district that I was to show up at court at a certain date with the claim that the district wanted me out within 2 days, really they had never even let me know that they were planning on suing me. Apparently the house I have been living in for quite a while was about to be sold by the district to some drug addiction rehabilitation clinic and so they wanted em out asap, too bad the 2 days changed into 8 weeks so I have a while to figure out what I'm going to do but either way this sucks.
Not only this, but I need to find a new internship address again also (since our school is too lazy to find one for its students), I really don't feel like applying and going to the intake meetings. I also have to write myself on the waiting list for a home in Amsterdam in case I do get accepted in the school I want to go, since I live far FAR away I get the priority list but figuring this all out is really time consuming and stressful (also cause you have to pay to get on the list and like I said I have little money lol I have 10 bucks for the next 2 weeks XD )
The one thing I am exited about is my end year project, we can make up a school project and then get to work on it for 6 months before handing it in as an exam. I've always wanted to make my own cellphone commercial, I think car and phone commercials are one of the best (even if I don't give a shit about phones or cars, heck I'm not that technical) and so I decided to make my own phone and make a commercial with it. I'll keep you updated about it of course, however there might be a problem already and it is making me tear my hair out right now: I need a green screen room to make my recordings but our school is so low budget that they threw out the only bit of green screen they had (wallpaper roll that was painted green, can you imagine >.< ), they were planning on getting a new one but that might be done at the end of the year when I am supposed to graduate. However the new building (owned by another school) has a recording studio and a green-screen room, a room for God's sake a fucking square room with green screen all over it and high class lighting equipment! Now next week I have to figure out with my teacher and their school-board if I can make my recordings there, it's that or I have to make my own green-screen room and of course school would expect me to pay for it (which is impossible because it is too expensive for me to afford). I just hope this gets resolved quickly..
I was also thinking of selling my drawings, just to get some extra cash flowing in you know?
But that later, I don't even know yet if anyone would be willing to buy work by me D:
anyway, Karu over and out~
