I always knew I wasn't going to do well in the contest. :3
The question would be "Why didn't I make it better then?" because sometimes you just can't churn something until it gets better. For this Star Maker I've been working constantly, but with large breaks inbetween. My first entry had some glaring errors because I never went away and then gave it good look. Even for school work as well, some times just going at it again and again isn't going to work. Take a step back, refresh your mind, and try again. It's not just pixel art.~
They do work very hard at school, but it's not just that. We don't work hard enough.
They go to school longer, work harder, take more tests, and high school isn't free.
BUT, from what I've heard college life is just a big party as most of the learning is done, just some specialization. Hehe.
When I was talking to someone on Mabinogi (MMO, I may stretch the 'I have no time' just a tad bit. |D;;; ) who (from Canada) kept really dragging on me and my friend Kitty as we were talking about Art Colleges. He was saying he's not going to pay a teacher 44k to sit there and do nothing, as that's what his teachers do. He still wouldn't understand when I was explaining to him that we only get the bare basics in Primary School. They could teach alot more, but they don't and college is the only option to get a higher specialized education. "Just buy the books and pay for the test!" He really didn't understand. Like you, if you just "popped" up out of the blue and had the necessary skill level I doubt people would hire you. You need connections, experience while you are working, and be demanded of.
Apparently some people my age have not given much thought to college, and I find that so wondrously strange. I think about my future so very often and I still have plenty of questions to ask.
Ooo Solar Energy, that's pretty useful! Do you still think you will have enough time for the game? Other people who may determine the fate of your future will be counting on you. Are you sure you need the stress of internet drama and playing parent?
Also, when you do get that car, I don't care if you have to name "Carol", make sure you think you love it. Machines have personalities and if you hate it, it's going to hate you back. xD
Oh yeah!
I'm getting my name changed to
Vişne Tanrıça
It's Turkish for Cherry Goddess. It's a bit of a joke in real life. If I hadn't told you before I used to go to a school run by Turkish people. I participated in a contest between a few schools that offered Turkish and I got second in the presentation category.
I really wasn't planning to enter as at first it was just an assignment in class to create a paragraph about something. One of the things was about your favorite food.
So I wrote a whole paragraph about how much I liked cherries, and all the Turkish speaking people teased me a lot. xD;;; (Not in a bad way, I thought it was funny.)
