With this last quarter of college being so extremely busy, I’m just dying for it to all be over so I can have some time to learn new things. Once I graduate and DO have time, I will probably change my mind and want to be lazy, so I figure if I tell myself what I want to do now I might feel sufficiently guilty enough later to do it.
So here is my absurdly long list of what I would like to accomplish (professionally… yes I want to learn to pee standing up but that’s another post altogether):
- Learn the intimate specifics of CSS and PHP – I know enough CSS to apply styles to my site, but I don’t much about positioning. And as for PHP… hahaha!
- Put my newfound knowledge to work and redo my web site in validated CSS – I feel like a dinosaur as my web design is still in tables, with code from the stone age. Bleh! (Wow, nerd.)
- Learn how to code in WordPress and move my blog over (Will Google send someone after me for this statement?) – Something about WordPress just makes me feel all fuzzy inside.
- Get people to actually look at my web site – You’re not reading this. Nobody is reading this. So it’s time for a Super Promotion Attack Plus!
- Publish a Children’s Book – This is probably my number one goal that I would wet myself if accomplished.
- Learn to Animate - Flash… 3D, I don’t know. I just really want to learn to animate.
- Get a couch – Okay, this isn’t a professional goal, but we have had this apartment for 2 months now and I REALLY WANT A COUCH. (We got a couch! SUCCESS!)
- Expand portfolio to new markets – I would like to have a body of work for every market, so I could send a portfolio to get work in: Stationery, Toy Design, Concept/Character work, T-Shirts, Greeting Cards, Web Design, Poster, Editorial. I’ve got a ton of children’s work, but only a few samples of other markets.
- Get in an annual – Yes, please.
- Take Part in Illustration Friday – Good way to get the juices pumpin’!
Well, that’s all I can think of for now but you bet your sweet bippy I will edit this post if I think of anything else!
…what is a bippy?
in reference to point 4, yes i did.
and 10 is some thing i find surprising hard to do … goodluck
I want to do #5, too. And I would honestly be surprised if you couldn’t do it.
Thanks for your nice comment! I would love a link. I will link you as well.
And, re: number 4, aw. At least you know that three people are reading this. :)
