I never realized until recently how hard it can be to get back onto the horse as they say after being sick, which considering my extensive medical past is pretty interesting.

I wonder if getting very sick when you’re younger makes a difference in how you get back or if the process is really the same it’s just that  being older you’re more conscientious of how challenging it is.

I found my self struggling to get back into a editing groove with my concert reel assignment not because I’d lost interest I just didn’t seem to have the energy to focus on it. It was like I could focus on everything else but that.

This frustrated me for several reasons. The first reason being that I WANTED to finish it and see my complete vision that is in my head come to completion. Second: I like to keep my word. Disappointing someone by promising something and then not delivering is one of the worst feelings in the world for me.

It wasn’t until I was completely alone at work and felt really well rested that I was finally able to open the file back up and begin making adjustments. One of the things that helped spur me was being able to render the version I had and have my senior project advisor give me feedback on it. Watching what I had put together thus far through fresh eyes enabled me to see changes that I wanted to make as well as changes my advisor suggested I should make which I agreed with since I was able to now notice things that I hadn’t before.

So with these fresh eyes I am now back on the proverbial horse and working on changes. It’s a very ambitious goal but I am determined to have at least a fully completed second rough cut done by next week.

I feel that any minor tweaks that may need to be made can be made after getting feedback from my    internship supervisor as well as my other team members.
