The school year came to a close, I did well maintaining my GPA at 3.25 and I feel rather proud of this. I got an apartment, still in the Tenderloin, with my best friend and for certain soul mate, Michelle. The beginning of June brought me back to the east coast, and here I will be for an unknown period of time. Life is currently uneventful, time is being spent with friends and family and relaxing, as well as many late nights writing and thinking and sketching. However that is not to say that I do not have goals for my summer…I plan to read 20 books by August 1st, go back to yoga, successfully learn to drive a manual transmission car, learn to cook at least five new things, make considerable progress on the writing of my book, practice the piano, and perhaps some more things will come up as time passes.

All the cool kids are doing it, so how could I resist? I think resolutions however are stupid, I’d rather just set some goals! So here are some goals I have for 2009.

1. Learn to use Flash and InDesign (and work super hard in my design classes so I gain more skills).

2. Take more photos. 

3. Move into a house with my friends (which will be happening by June!!).

4. Learn 10 (or more!) new things to cook.

5. Learn to play the guitar (I am finally attempting again!) and practice the piano more (as I have been drastically slacking.).

6. Travel at least one new place.

7. Try one new artistic practice or medium that I normally never would out of thinking its weird, or that I am unable.

8. Read 20 (or more!) books. I used to read so much but this past year I haven’t as much and I regret that!

9. Continue to update this blog and my portfolios.

10. Maintain a 3.25 GPA!!!

Obviously as the year progresses more goals with come up, but this is the list for now!
