2008 was year of the Rat—that’s me—in the Chinese Zodiac, and it was my year. I graduated from college in May, started a website again in June, officially launched my illustration career in September by mailing hundreds of postcards, officially officially launched this career in October with a job for Cosmopolitan magazine (and not just one, either!), got married to my honey in October, and made the sincere decision to move out of North Carolina in November.
After all this, I’d like to make my resolutions for 2009 as simple as possible—except for the moving thing, which of course didn’t happen in 2008 and will be a wicked start to 2009. I’ve met so many big goals now that I think I should try out some little ones… like making more fruit smoothies for breakfast.
I hope everybody has a happy 2009! Year of the Ox!
Congrats on a successful year! Where are you moving to?
I think a lot of us from school have been successful this year!
Where we go depends on whether or not I get this certain design job I’ve applied to. It’s out west at a well-known company but I can’t bring myself to say it “out loud” on my website because I’m afraid of jinxing something :] It’s silly of me but I’m really excited. If that doesn’t pan out, Chris and I were thinking of Virginia, somewhere near the coast.
