About to ring in the new year with good foodz and friendz!
Just to reflect a bit on 2011, this year was absolutely insane. Possibly the best year yet. Had a great last semester at school, it was actually my favorite time in all my 4 years at Stony Brook. Worked hard but accomplished a lot. Had hilarious times with wonderful people. Finally took ceramics with Toby. Made some art about string cheese and actually got some awards for it LOL. Graduated college!! Got to be the banner bearer for the art department haha. Went to Barbados with Meg and it was the best week of life. First trip ever outside the country. Crossed a lot of things off my bucket list from that one trip. Swimming with the sea turtles was still the most amazing things I have ever done. Lady Gaga’s Born this Way obviously being the sound track for the entire trip. My niece was born!!! I became an aunt. In love with that baby girl. Had work shown at an art gallery that was not a school gallery. Then started working at that gallery! TA’d for some summer camp classes and had so much fun making art with all the kiddies. Learned how to install shows and so many other things at the gallery. Started working at Trader Joe’s making signs! Having fun every day at work and being really thankful for it and getting to eat good food and hang out with awesome people. Quit Patio!!!! Accrued some pretty funny dating stories. Ate a lot of new food that was delicious. HBO Sunday nights with Megan being an awesome constant throughout the year. Got to spend a lot of time with my family, especially my sisters, which has been so nice. Re-doing and cleaning my Nana’s house which I never thought I would ever see and getting to see her finally happy has been amazing. And this holiday season with my family has been wonderful and spoiling my niece is so fun.
Goals for the new year are pretty much get my shit together more as far as putting up a website, selling artwork, etc. I need to really draw every day outside of work for my own personal projects, and break in my new printing press! I also really need to join a gym and hopefully get more energy because I am always exhausted and thus come home from work and pass out. And also make some more time to have fun! So basically be healthy, happy, organized and efficient. I’m excited!
