It's a new year and all that fun jazz. My resolutions are pretty standard: exercise, lose weight (around 50 lbs), do well in school, etc. But along with having resolutions, I thought it would be a good idea to set some goals for myself. First, the next academic year will hopefully be my last in a university, so my goal for the summer is to get an internship. I'd like to have some experience in one of my fields before I graduate and now would be my last chance for a summer internship. Second, I want to have an artist alley table at an anime convention. Once I graduate I will probably be too focused on paying back school loans and working, to really make crafts on a large scale and this is something I've really wanted to do. Hopefully this would put myself out there and get some publicity and also earn a little bit for my efforts. Third, I want to improve my art. In the next year I plan to do a little soul searching again, try different techniques and improve on my style. Seeing my improvement from 2003-2012 really comforted me because it's hard to track your own improvement, especially when you feel like it's never enough.
