I don't suppose any of you guys have any tips on sparing free time, because I'd like a few of them right now. I'm currently working a job, have 5 classes, 2 of which are Honors courses, I'm crewing a musical right now, working on another performance thing for one of my classes, and I have just enough time to breathe on most days. While I have finished the music for my latest flash animation in Garageband (wait for the flames in 5...4...3...), I haven't gotten around to animating any of the characters at all. Not that I don't want to, but with so much going on at once, I am flat out spent every time I finish working on the next assignment. Yes, education should definitely be on the top of my list, but sometimes I wish it wasn't the only thing on that list.

Let this be a lesson for you younger animators out there: Time is precious. Use it wisely.
