Waiting...
...not in vain, I hope.
I'm finding out once again that waiting really is very very hard and nerve-racking and can just drive people insane.
But still, I wait.
I'm giving out a HUGE "thank you!!!" to everyone who helped with my previous dillema. That'll be... Blitz... and... uh.... Blitz. Yey for Blitz!
And, oh yes, Sara, for her Flash book which I clung on to for dear life as I dove into Actionscripting. And Beth for trying to help me with Java3D. And I think Loraine is also worthy of special mention, because I think I've ranted to her about my misfortunes the most. Right, Lori?
I also would like to thank those who were not able to help in any... uh... "compsciatic" type of way, but have tried to help. There are so many of you, so I shall not list all of you down. Your support is absolutely precious to me, and for that, I thank you.
No, I am not receiving an Academy Award.
And, no. My SP is not done yet. Not officially, anyway.
Here's an update. After combing through my options, I decided to go with Flash. Following Blitz's advice, I went to look for a 3D program called Bryce.
I did not find Bryce anywhere.
But, deciding that I must not leave Circle C empty-handed, I decided to buy an installer --- any installer --- of any 3D program. However, none of them seem appealing. But, stubborn as I am, I decided to look through mp3 CDs instead. Music to sooth my frustrated mood, I said. Among the stack of the mp3 CDs I was looking at, I chanced upon a CD that seemed to have gotten lost. It was an installer of a program called Swift3D.
Never heard of it.
I looked at the description on the back, and --- viola! It's a 3D modelling tool which has a model-to-swf converter.
Oh mhay ghulay, rainbow na makulay.
I bought it. I tried it. I learned it in one day.
And, so I locked myself in my room for about a month, spending quality time with my husband --- the computer --- and I barely left the house to the point that others actually comment that I've become... well... less tan than I was before.
Ha. Yeah, right.
Anyway. I locked myself in my room, and I think I even offended my mom because of that. I even disappeared from church ministry for a while. And, since I took a leave off work, I didn't have no money, so I had no way of getting anywhere from the house. So... yey. Me and my PC. Very exciting.
And then, after I finished my SP -- goodness, that feels so great to say/type/whatever -- I started to rejoin the rest of the living world.
And now, I'm waiting for word from my adviser. See, I can't just show up in Los Baños and say "Hey! I'm here! I'm going to present my SP! Let me graduate!" I so wish I can do that, but alas, I cannot. So therefore, I'm waiting for my adviser's go signal. And while I'm doing that, I play with my SP all day, trying to spot errors, bugs, and things to improve. As I expected, there was still a lot of wrinkles to iron out.
I'm hoping to get to LB next week. So... I ask you again to pray for my defense. That I would not be tongue-tied, that I would have confidence, that I would be able to explain things properly, and that the panel won't be deathly strict with me.
I'll make another thank you speech when I'm officially done.
Till then, I disappear -- with a poof and lots of mysterious smoke from the smoke machine -- once again.
