Goals for 2009!
Usually people write about this at the beginning of the year as resolutions, but I like to be fashionably late. =P
Go back to school: A personal goal I set for myself and so far have 95% completed. I have already paid the application fee and just need to send send proof of my residence! After that, I need to take the CPT (college placement test) and register for classes for the fall! If you’re wondering, I will be attending Valencia Community College. It’s cheap, an excellent school, and exactly what I need to raise my GPA!
Get a job: I’ve been applying EVERYWHERE like crazy! For now, I’m not too worried where I work, but I have been avoiding anything that has to do with food. Since I’ll be starting school in the fall, I’m not to hell bent on getting a full-time position. Of course, if the opportunity presents itself and is well worth it, I’ll go for it.
Start a business: For a while now I have been trying to start my own web design business. It’s a little dream of mine to actually have one huge multimedia company, but I need to start somewhere. Web design of course was the first thing in mind. Currently I have a few friends who I know I can trust to help me and have some excellent skills in their own respected fields, I just need to know where to start. I’m actually starting to research of all this now and hope to maybe have something going by the end of the year. Wish me luck!
Move out: This has been a great topic for posts on my blog for a while now. I always say I’m going to move out, but something always ends up happening that hinders that idea. I NEED to move out and asap! I just need the finical stability to do so…and possibly a roommate or two. Hopefully when I get a new job, I can work towards this goal.
For now, these are my major goals for 2009 and I really hope that I will be able to fulfill them before the year ends. I just need patients, smarts, and a whole lot of luck!
PS: I was tagged by LingLingfor the “What’s in My Bag?” game. I currently don’t use a purse/bag and just happily have a Chanel wallet with everything I need inside. My cellphone has a pocket case that fits on the side of my belt buckle or pant pocket and I usually hold my keys or attach them to my belt loop. So, not much need for a purse, unless of course it’s that time of the month or I’m going somewhere fancy.
I totally fail at this game!

Hey, are you participating in their Graphic/Web Design program? Or are you majoring in something else? I ask because I’ve heard great stuff about the Graphics department, and the school in general.
Roxy’s Response: No, I’m not going to be majoring in those programs. I’m either going to take marketing or film. I’m still trying to decide. I’ve heard a lot of good things in regards to it too, though. So far, the school has been really helpful and I’m really excited to start!

I wish to start my own business too. I think I’ll be starting an e-shop with premade designs, illustrations and stuff before moving slowly towards customised designs. Good luck on your business!

Yay for having plans! I’m glad that you know exactly what you want to do… and they’re all feasible and good plans.
Good luck with everything!

Good luck with your goals!
I’m also looking into starting my own business, but it will take some time. But one day…

So what will you be studying at school? Is it still going to be webdesign related or is it the graphic design route?
*Shudders* I haven’t been doing enough hunting but with school being over for me, I really should be more aggresive with that =_=; but it’s hard finding something in my field at the moment or maybe I haven’t loooked hard enough yet.
Best of luck with the business thing. I just hope you’re not trying to acheive all of these goals all at once @_@;
Speaking form someone that has just moved back in…. Moving is generally a pain in the arse, especially when you have 3 years’ accumulation of things (mainly of textbooks) But yes, finding roommates definitely decreases cost. Well, if the school’s far enough, once you get to know more people that go there, maybe you can find bunking with some? IDK just contemplating an idea….

Madame, I wish you all the best. I know times are hard right now, but things will definitely get better for you.
I’m especially excited that you’re going to school. It’s SOOO important for you to do!
Good luck!

Hey, “late” goals are better than no goals! And besides, motivation rules any time of the year.
Reading this makes me feel awfully inspired. I really hope that you’ll be able to achieve all of your goals — sounds like you’ve got some great plans up ahead (!).

Those are some wonderful goals. I wish you all the luck on them. I sort of gave up setting any goals for myself because then I get too stressed. I’m one of those people that has to live life one day at a time. that isn’t to say that I’m not preparing for the future though. <3
