Well, I've been working for a couple of weeks now (although I've been slacking a bit lately, but I'm surprised I kept it up for so long, really o.O) and I do feel I've improved a bit. This feeling of improvement is rather new to me since I've never worked on anything for extended periods of time with the intention to get better, really. The only other thing I've felt that has improved is my creative capabilities in general since the speed at which I design as well as the quality has gone up over the years, especially the last year thanks to all you other creative people that I met.

Having modelled for hours a day has had an interesting impact on my mind. For one, I've gotten better at making mental images of my designs. This, in return, helps the speed of my modelling, which has been quite noticeable with my last work. Also, the process of modelling kind of sticks in my head. When I see an interesting shape somewhere I mentally go 'How could I model that?'. Sometimes I just spend some time staring at an object thinking what shapes, splines and modifiers to use. Usually by the end of it I feel I've gone completely insane. But I have that often.

Well then, only about two more weeks before school starts again. On one hand I'm kinda pumped about it, on the other hand going to school means going outside, which means being confronted with *gulp* fresh air and *shudder* sunlight. And stinging bugs and allergies and annoying people and delayed public transport and-...

God, I hate the real world. It's exactly why I want to go into an industry that creates fake ones.
