For this lesson, Gabriel and Alex go back to basics and give a lil' life update. We discuss taking gap semesters, going part time, and how it's affected our ~sanity~ but also our craft. Going crazy? Try meditating. Is your life an absolute mess? Try a google calendar. It'll definitely (maybe) work. Near the end, Gabriel talks about pitching animation to Adult Swim and the nerves but mostly utter identity-crisis that follows being approached by them.
