So it's New Year's Eve down here in Australia. I'm not doing much - a night in with :iconatypicality:, watching the LOTR trilogy and having a few drinks & nibbles.

With all that in mind, it's time I made some new year's resolutions. :iconatypicality: & I agreed not to make any life-plans until after our Europe trip, but these resolutions are ones that I can stick to no matter where I am:

Reach my goal weight of 55kg by the end of 2012.
Really, it's only 13 and a half kilos. Seeing as I managed to lose 23kg in 7 months (50lbs for you imperial readers) I'm sure I can manage this. Once the weight is off I want to start using weights and building lean muscle.

Improve my art & be more dedicated to my practice.
I wouldn't say my art has gone downhill of late, in fact I think my illustration ability has improved a bit, but it isn't where I want it to be. I haven't painted in months and I feel out of touch and lost from my practice. This year has been very difficult for me art-wise, I haven't really produced anything that I'm truly proud of. I aim to change that and expand my ability next year. I want to try and develop skills as a concept artist.

Make a decision about my career.
This probably seems weird for those who don't know me very well. Basically, I work in a call centre pretty much full time and do freelance design & illustration out of my home in my spare time. The call centre work makes me really, really miserable. I've been in this particular call centre for over 2 years, but overall I've been doing call centre work for the last 5 1/2 years. And I'm sick of it. I don't care about the money any more, I don't care about being able to wear whatever I want and having crazy hair. I hate the work and I don't want to be involved with it any more.

As I said earlier, :iconatypicality: & I aren't making any solid life decisions until after our eurotrip because we don't know how we'll feel afterwards. :iconatypicality: still has another year and a half of university study, which means I won't really have the opportunity to sink time & money into my home business for until that time. I DO however want to change jobs, and whether that means just finding an admin job or finally breaking into a graphic design job, so be it.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a happy and healthy new year :)

Haha, nuh. I love Adelaide.
Brisbane just has better job opportunities for me, and Anthony and I both have family there.
