A year in review and reflections
SO- Im a couple days late on the whole 2009 review but not as last as I was last year (or maybe it was the year before...) In any case, I spent a really lovely awesome evening with a bunch of my friends on New Year's eve and it was definitely a good way to end 2009 and bring in 2010.
Resolutions for 2010:
-practice drawing at least once a day (already failing...GONNA FIX THAT)
-eat better!!
-apply for internships
-live in a way that makes me happy
Last years resolutions were:
-practice drawing more often this happened. Now for more hardcore practice!!
-continue doing well in school Did this as well!
-try to eat a little better this...didnt really happen at all ;_; back on the list
-live in a way that makes me happy worked hard to do this...and succeeded MOSTLY.
-QUIT WENDY'S FUCK YEAH I CAN FINALLY SAY THIS HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!

get ready to go back to school
It has been quite the year. Ive met people who have had a giant lasting impact on my life (friends, professors, etc), Ive made some amazing friends who I hope to have in my life for the rest of my life, Ive gone through some HUGE changes as a person (although it took me a little while to see it in myself) I struggled a lot with my identity and peoples expectations-including my own, my family has gone through a lot and made it through to the other side :D, I met and discovered artists that have had a HUGE impact on me as an artist and as a person, Ive been doing well at the school of my dreams, I fell out of love- doubted love completely- and fell in love again despite that, I got another year older, I became a lot more open minded, I learned more than I thought I could, I almost lost a friend, I did things Id never thought Id do, and here I am after all of it.
For 2010, some stuff will be happening, and I have some goals as well.
>>After thinking long and hard about it, Im switching my meds from welbutrin to Effexor. Welbutrin hasnt been handeling my depression as well as Id like it to, its an appetite suppressant and has been making me very ill for some time now, it doesnt do a thing for my ansxiety...all of that leads me to the logical conclusion something needs to change. So I met with my doctor and I have a new prescription and now I just have to make the transition, which is already kinda sucking. Weeeee. BUT- things will hopefully be much much better once I have made the transition! Yay!
>>Planning on applying for an internship at Periscope, and also seeing what other internships are out there for me to apply to!
>>Find some way to earn more money to support myself going through school
>>Go to AWA again, and maybe have a table there? or maybe at another convention...just dont know where yet. Thats a goal that may or may not happen
>>Work REALLY HARD. Im never gonna get where I want to go if I dont work hard.
>>Show the people in my life how important they are to me.
>>Try to be more optimistic
>>Make the most out of everything
I hope everyone had a wonderful new years and that 2010 is already shaping up to be a great year! <3 <3 love you all.
