Well,it is just over a month until next year already. This made me look back over the year and see what goal I accomplished from those I sat last year.

What is the biggest goal you sat for this year that you have met?


I sat a goal New Years Eve of 2005 to get some of my work into an exhibit.  got into two, one was juried and all of my submissions were accepted for the exhibit where as the others only got one.

What goals do you have set for the coming year?

I didn't set any goal for myself.  But I've achieved a lot in the past year.  I moved outta my van and into an apartment, now house.  I've become more independant.  I've reached a great point in modeling.  I've been more creative.

For next year I think my goal is to buy a new van and start the whole thing over again.  wink.

P.S. Congratualtions on your exhibit!  I told you that once before, though.

My biggest goal I set myself this year is transferring to another course by next year, results haven't come out yet but I hope I made it! Fingers crossed!

2006 pretty much sucked for me. I spent a good part of it in and out of the hospital. A couple of surgeries later, I'm over half way through my final mend. I haven't had what could be called any great shoots. To be honest, it's kind of scary to get started up again.

Here's to 2007 being a better year!

Well, I managed to save enough money to get out to Colorado for 6 weeks to do some continuing education in my chosen career field. I didn't go TOO broke, and my boyfriend and I returned (he came out to visit me the last week for vacation) in decent shape. Then his work cut him back to 30 hours and all the hard work to return home prepared went down the drain. Guess that means you have to be doubley prepared sad

Next year my goal is to get out there for 12 weeks. To do that I need to save about 10,000.00 before the middle of summer. So far I have about 1200.00 and I have 8 months left. Its gonna be nuts but I think I can do it.

I have gotten closer to my goals.

I wrote a script and it is being made into a full length movie - I am also a main actor in this.

I dropped fat and gained significant muscle as my recovery from a debilitating injury got better.

I worked in 3 movies and 4 TVC's plus several print jobs in a new country.

Made many contacts and have a major part in another movie for Jan + another large stage show looks good to go ahead.

How much did you work this year? How serious have you been? How much real effort have you put in?

You can do it too, if you have not then you have not been serious.

I guess my goals this year were to continue to better myself in many areas. I made a concious effort to befriend those I have not in school, better my talents, and find a job after school that could teach me skills that would last a lifetime.
I changed my hair color to pursue the theater and it paid off.
My goals will continue to be the best I can be and never take one moment for granted. I will keep bettering myself and be kinder to others. Thats my goal for the new year:)

I wanted to do one textbook this year... in fact I did 5 textbooks, the images for the companion CD-Rom for one of them and the marketing photos for four of the textbooks.

I think I'll stick to hoping for one textbook next year and see how everything pans out!
