…I want to get a few things setup before I do my big move to New York. It’s official guys, I’m moving to NYC before the year is up. First, I’ll be stopping in my home-state of Massachusetts, to make sure that my mother gets settled in and that my family is doing well. (gotta visit my four darling nephews and niece) Then from there, I should hopefully have a place to call home in NYC and a school I will be starting in the Spring. I’m super excited, but like I said, I want to get a few things started before I leave in a month. Below is a list I needed to write out for it…

1. Update my portfolio: Yep, I definitely need to finish this, I’ve been putting it on hold for far too long and I know that when I move, I will need it more then ever and I just can’t have it looking a hot mess as it does now.
2. Come up with a set structure for my new productions company: I already have the name(s) and domains. I just want to create a set logo and foundation for my company before getting too heavy into legal issues and what not. I’m always coming up with new plans for it and I just need to sit down and put what comes first, first!
3. Start music project: I have this music project that I’ve talked over with two close friends that I would like to get going here in Orlando before I go. I feel like it would be very beneficial to musicians locally in the Central Florida area. If things go as planned, I’m thinking of expanding it nation-wide, of course I’m getting ahead of myself here, but sometimes you gotta look at it in the long run.
4. Keep up with contacts here: Oddly enough, I’ve been bumping into a lot of people here who have the same passion or are already in the film making business that I know in the future would be a wonderful contact to have. Its a shame that I had to meet them a month before I was going to leave! Ah well, that’s what Facebook and Twitter are good for.
5. Lastly, new design for Urbanroxy.com: God knows I have been trying to get this done for quite some time now and one day I will accomplish this one simple goal…I just don’t know when exactly. ٩(×̯×)۶

I know with a level headed mind and some good ole patience, I can and will do it!

Oh, before I forget…I’ve been addicted to this free gaming site I found on an online buddy’s website. Its called OMGPOP! and is hella fun! Not only are the games free (and free to sign up), but you get to play with people from all over the world. It makes playing the games that much better! Check it out today!

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!

So for the past weekend and up until today, I’ve been signing papers left to right with my signature and SSN. As I said in my last post, I was offered a teaching position at the technical school I graduated from in 07 for Web Design. Now, nothing is set in stone and I’m not 100% sure about the details just yet, but I did have to first start the application process if I wanted to anywhere near considered. But boy, there sure were a lot of papers to sign and read! Today, I went to bring in the stack and needed to fill out a few more to make it complete, so I’m hoping that I will be able to finish that up this week!

I’m really looking forward to this though. If you’re wondering, the position is for a short-term HTML/CSS class. With the help of my old teacher, she said this could possibly lead into a full-time teaching position either there at WPT (Winter Park Tech) or in the new school they built by my house. The new school would actually be more convenient, since it is closer then WPT. Wish me luck!

Now onto the stress portion! My sister, her husband, 4 children, and some random girl are coming to stay at my house for Spring Break. They will be arriving this Saturday, most likely during the evening and I am freaking out! My sister and I aren’t what you would call loving siblings, we are far from it…much worse then sibling rivalry, so I’m a little antsy on her arrival. While I love my nieces and nephews, they can be very hard to handle sometimes and knowing my sister, at one point in time during her stay here, she will have either me or my mother babysit them. Which when that happens, I will be staying at my boyfriends house! =P

Not only that, but she is bringing some random 14 year old girl with her. OK, so she isn’t THAT random, my sister says she is the daughter of the lady who sometimes babysits her kids and said she could come down with my sister. Personally, I think it’s odd, but whatever, I’m just surprised my mom is OK with it…>_>

That’s not the only thing that has me raising a brow, but apparently the girl wants to go to an all ages club. Basically, some nights clubs have like a “kids night”, where I think they let ages 12 to 18 in the club and they get to party till like 12 or 1AM. I think at 14 you should worry more about school and not going to a stupid club. My sister was like, can you take her? One, no because why would I want to do that and two because I’m 20 years of age, they wouldn’t let me in. I’m totally against it as you can see and would someone would smack some sense into this girl and tell her not want to grow up so fast. Geez…you’re only 14 once and before you know it, you’ll be 18 and can then have all the clubbing fun you want! >_<
