Dear All,
Thank you for following me on my animation student blog for the past three years. In less than two months I will be graduating with a 2:1 in BA (Hons) Animation and Visual Effects and I couldn't be happier with the result! After three years of stress and doubt over my career and skill as an animator and artist, I can safely say now I am proud of what I have achieved.
Despite the turmoil, this has been the best three years of my life, especially my third year. I learnt new skills, made many friends and learnt more about myself as a person. I wouldn't have changed anything!
However within the past few months I have been having a career slump, being unsure whether I should pursue animation or film as a career anymore. Not because I don't love it anymore! But because I am tired of it and I wish to work in a different field. I crave new things and I want to learn more about the world from a different perspective. I believe this would be the healthiest life option for me to do.
I look forward to what the future holds, but don't be too shocked if you see me working in animation again, I think I just need a long proper break! I don't think I would come back to this blog again, but if I do, I'd be one lucky woman if I still see you reading my posts.
Keep going and good luck!
