Becka made a list so I want one, too.  
This list of goals is tentative. I'll pick up where I left off when I think of more. Some are extremely long term.

1. Stop wasting time.
2. See more things around NYC. I moved there in August and I've hardly gone anywhere.
3. Go to more SVA functions.
4. Make money in any way possible.
5. Go to more lectures and exclusive screenings that SVA students are invited to.
6. Make connections.
7. Treat my body better.
8. Find a cure for my psoriasis.
9. Cure my iron deficiency anemia.
10. Work on my memoir.
11. Scan my artwork.
12. Get my artwork organized into portfolios.
13. Get an internship.
14. Go to an NYC midnight screening of RHPS.
15. Finally have cocoa with Patty.
16. Stop being nervous and learn to relax.
17. Get substantial sleep.
18. Start putting away money to pay off loans.
19. Get my financial problems fixed in general.
20. Find a better apartment closer to the city, where the landlord doesn't live upstairs, and where I can have Aniela and Pookie.
21. Have a romantic, candlelit, home cooked dinner with Adam.
22. Secure a career in art and prove the people wrong who doubted me.
23. After acquiring said career, pay back my mother and pamper the people who gave a shit about me.
24. Grow my nails out even though they are paper thin and have been since I was born. You can literally fold them.
25. Start having little celebrations every year marking the day that I became a vegetarian. (Memorial Day Weekend, 2006)
26. Put work in the student galleries at SVA, not just class showings.
27. Try and get involved in The Visual Opinion next year. 
28. Go to every NYC Museum. (Seen so far: MoMA, The Guggenheim, The Frick, The Met, and The New Museum.)
29. Start a crew.
30. 5pointz. Hah, maybe when I'm 50.
31. Finally see Sicily.
32. Get work put into a museum.
33. Have a solo exhibition.
34. Have an extravagant wedding.
35. Make Pookie an outfit.
36. Let less partying happen in the apartment.
37. Get an apartment where I can have real studio space and perhaps a darkroom.
38. Stop forgetting how to knit.
39. Crochet things besides scarves.
40. Get more apartment Furniture.
41. Calculate how much I'd have to put away per week to pay off loans and save for the extravagant wedding.
42. Meet Adam's sister.
43. Learn more Polish. (So far I can say: fork, glass, grandma, yes, no, good day, thank you, you're welcome, curse, love, good, stop, and dog. This is pathetic for having been dating a Polish guy for over a year and having lived together for almost 5 months.)
44. Sell some artwork.
45. Sell the ugly jewelry I make in Williamsburg.
46. Move to Williamsburg.
47. Get my own sewing machine, preferably one of the old Singers.
48. Mend all of my injured clothing.
49. Get the tattoos that I've designed. 
50. Try my hand at tattooing.
51. Stop having/learn to cope with my bazaar fucked up dreams.
52. Tie-dye bed sheets.
53. Find a way to not get my bras destroyed in the old ass laundromat machines.
54. Make a website.
55. Get some garage sale furniture and refinish it myself like my mom and I used to when I was little.
56. Try out things on the west coast.
57. Reconnect with Alex Cole and Alana Sade.
58. Sell more unnecessary crap.
59. Yard sale.
60. Try out gouache paint.
61. Do printmaking again.
62. Make paper again.
63. Go to one of Erica Harney's openings that she invites me to, even thought they are sometimes out of the way.
64. Do more series.
65. Publish my writing.
66. Read every day like I used to.
67. Get all A's. I'm close.
68. Do homework promptly.
69. Approach my other class as positively as I approach Drawing in hopes of achieving said A's.
70. Stop being poor.
71. Take Adam to his first drive-in movie.
72. Work on the scrapbook kit that my dad got me for Christmas.
73. Get a cheap red outfit for the SVA stoplight dance.
74. Make stickers of my character.
75. Figure out how to deal with my mood swings.
76. Get a pro account on Flickr so that people can actually see all of my 365s, not just the most recent 200.

The fact that you can fold your nails makes my stomach churn.
I can never unread that.

It's like when they get long, I can bend them down and they can touch the tip of my finger.
Miss Olivia[info]nunattack on January 7th, 2009 06:58 pm (UTC)

I fcking HATE GOUACHE.

Handwash your bras. Best way to go.

Ah handwashing. Like when I washed a load of laundry in the tub and hung it all over the house...
Miss Olivia[info]nunattack on January 8th, 2009 12:44 am (UTC)
At the very least, don't put your bras in the dryer.

If you're going to the west coast, I'm going with you. And that's final.

I had other stuff to say.

I'm excited for your wedding.

I was thinking about it last night. It made me happy.

Then I had nightmares about aliens and you, me, and Pookie were the only people/guinea pig smart enough to hide in the mountains. And I think we saved Dominic and Colleen from a particularly large alien. I don't know where everyone else was though.
