2011 Resolutions

Dec 30, 2010 23:23

See, I still have a use for you Livejournal! As for my usual tradition, I will recap my previous year's resolutions before making an entirely new list of laughable bullshit to fail at this year. Here we go

These were my 2010 resolutions:

1. Mandatory: learn to drive - Ummmm it's mandatory FOR REAL this time

2. Get strait A's on my final semester- Half way, coulda done it if I wasn't working so much

3. Get hired to work in Japan this year - Um, fail.

4. Read more- Yes, after I graduated I could go to the library and have time to read and research. I go ever Monday or Tuesday.

5. Write more - A bit, but not what I was invisioning.

6. Draw more - ditto

7. Finish more projects rather than start too many new ones - Umm, fail, well I didn't start any new ones at least.

8. Focus more on the type of woman I want present myself as - Yes, I'm making some strides in being a well dressed and respectable lady and I have a new respect for the function of feminine aesthetic. I still have a long way to go though.

9. Exercise more - Though not structured I bike a lot and go up 12 flights of stairs a day during my commute because MARTA has given up on fixing escalators.

10. Find more excuses to hang out with people - Check, but I still need more excuses.

11. Go to at lest one out of town convention before going to Japan - I may yet be able to fulfill this next year since I really really really REALLY want to go to Katsucon.

12. Cook at home more - well I don't, but my boyfriend does, and I'm fine with that.

One to my new Resolutions for 2011 in no particular order:

1. Learn how to drive, I know I say it ever year, and that I mean it every year, but this year I really mean it and I'll buy you a drink next New Year's Eve if you point it out to me at the bar. Then you will still have to drive me home, cuz I can't drive.

2. Get down to a 35 hour work week.

3. Dedicate myself to a 15-20 hours a week Studio work.

4. Submit to a minimum of 10 visual/graphic contests.

5. Submit to a minimum of 2 juried exhibitions.

6. Apply to a minimum of 3 Artist Residency programs.

7. Attend a minimum of 4 cons/festivals, AND have new work to show.

8. Update my studio image and name to better match my creative vision.

9. Finish a viable business plan.

10. Make more birthday cards.

11. Be nicer to my Mom.

12. Stop complaining so much.

13. Be more organized and regimented.

14. Be more social.
