Have you thought about direct loans or something like that? I'm going to have a ton to pay back, but it's the only way I can go to school and still make ends meet. (Books are too damn expensive. >.< ) Good luck with your grades though. >.< (I was on academic probation before and uhhhhh. T.T ) If you open up for commissions I'll boost you.

well considering my standing,i would need to get loans like from the bank co-signed, and parents i know will refuse that honestly. :T For now find work where possible. btw, you know some professors off the bat prefer you get used books if the course doesn't require the newest edition for just a needed section? I recommend places like Thriftybooks or others sites in that case, or get lucky and find PDFs

Academic Probation, surprisingly I am considered at the moment, yet I am not dropped. For now i will ask for a leave of absence because of financial burdens, though community college would be better for those pesky general education courses.

and thank you if you do that Imago.

It would be no problem to boost you. I mostly had to retake a couple classes and that brought my GPA up enough to get off of AP. Although, if you're 25 or older you don't need a cosigner for loans. I could see where parents would be troublesome where that's concerned. >.< I wouldn't take time off, though. >.< Please reconsider that if possible. It's not hopeless, you could turn it around. :D

well at the moment since FAFSA was the only thing keeping me in and that we (my family) don't have funds to support me, actually we usually come short with things. :T Taking time off well i don't wanna do that really, but i do want time to myself to somewhat reconsider everything I've done. Low GPA and all, not a good sign first of all. Yes I can turn it around,, i just need to self motivated and push through the stuff i don't wanna take, like science....god that class was nothing but Global Warming...

Sounds like you got it rough buddy.
My sympathy.

thank you. hope you been well too.

Eh, been getting by.
You said your where try animation?

yes i am interested in working in animation.

Do you have any animation programs?

right now no. I only work with free stuff that is either outdated or finnicky. I have PAP4 (outdated), Pencil2D (buggy at times), Krita (has animation support but crashes at times), and a while back got access to Flash 8 (way outdated)

Get TvPaint!! It's FREE and it's a decent animation program!!!
Go do dat research kid!

*has ear drums blown out* well sorry, i didn't come across thsi one before i guess it went under the radar

hmmm...seems they ahve a trial version of it and licenses to buy it, so not really free, but the trial is not time restricted...though i need to check what is handicapped such as saving work and such.

When I said free, I mean free.
Again do some research on youtube for FREE TVPAINT.

You'll be surprised.

I f you can't then I'll look for the link.

well alright, though win7 32bit is what i got, i'll do some research and see what I can find as well. Thank you monster too for recommending.

seems i can't really find a working link that actually progresses forward.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TIAVzSBDzY

This link has every thing you'll need!!!

If you can't make this work... then you don't belong near a computer. :(
(sry lol, but it's really easy to figure out.)

alrighty, now let us pray that a virus doesn't brick the laptop.

Desn't work and i think it was spam on the side. File directionary failed and so forth. *shrugs*

First click the link that says Torrent in the youtube vid description .
Next wait 5 sceonds until the SKIP AD button comes up in the TOP RIGHT CORNER.
After that it'll take you to another page. (CLICK ON THE TINY TINY BUTTON OF A CLOUD WITH AN ARROW BREACHING THE BOTTON OF THE CLOUD)

After that, open the zip file and BOOM!!!
You good.


OOOHH HOHO!! WAIT!!!!!
Do you have ANY basic knowledge about computers?
Like do you download stuff from the internet often, or have experience with this type of thing?
If not then DON'T DO IT!!

It may be easy to figure out but don't do it without the proper know how.
Look onto youtube for this sort of thing.

If you DO know these type of stuff, then the light is GREEN!

monsterjam, at this point i think you are highly insulting me in basic internet and computer skills. Yes I have done this before, yes I know how to download a file and not click on the several adwares around the screen, i know to hover over links and to see where it leads in URLs. I have gotten the file being a torrent file, downloaded the application and ran it, multiple times. It is here the files creating a folder and program that says there is an error, i dont have enough privileges to use, or that it uninstalled properly. Instead, what I had gotten was spamware and a bit of a virus, opening pestering pop ups on Internet Explorer and deleting browser history or worse. Matter made fishy when it didnr have a uninstaller attached to it and so must be dealt wirh manually. I removed the faulty program, torrent and cleaned the laptop, and for now it stopped.

I thank you for trying, but do not make me out to have no knowledge of internet browsing and me just being cautious as I know these types of websites can be virus written and can break a OS system. Cudos to you if you somehow got it working, for me it is not and likely wont ever be.

Whoa their! Didn't mean to insult ya!
BUT HEY THAT'S AWESOME YOU KNOW THEM BASICS!!!
To be honest, your one of the lucky few (And I MEAN FEW) that I've meet that actually knows what they are doing when it comes to computers.

Usually I have to explain ever little detail possible to the others to get them on their merry way.
So sorry for offending ya, it was a force of habit I guess.

But. Hey I still wanna help.
You got a DropBox?
I can send you a copy of the actual files them selves. No huss no fuss ya know.

But no really, You are one of the only few I meet that know how to use a computer.
I only know 5 individuals my WHOLE LIFE that know anything bout computers.
So again sorry for making ya mad.

i think we should continue this chat in PM now, it's kinda cluttering the journal, sound fair Monster?

Well, lets actually stop talking about this topic.
I feel it's creating unwanted tension between us, and I don't feel like ruining a friendship.

So yeah let's move this to PM and and talk bout something that'll brighten up our day!



Wait.... does PM mean (Personal Messages)?
I get confused wit these acronyms.

oh nice ill be sure to comm wan u open
