i decided today that i'm going to create a lesley mcknight graphic design website. i'm very excited about this. i've only done a little web design, and do quite a bit of web maintaining at work, and quite enjoy it. i think having a website to promote my designess will be a big asset. my plan is create something quirky yet elegant, funky yet professional. exciting. i'm encouraged by my ability to come up with plans. i don't always stick with them, i throw them to the wayside frequently but i'm comforted by having a vision for my future.
this is my 6 step plan:
1) go on an awesome vacation this summer
2) pay off my osap in december
3) quit my job, give up apartment, and go somewhere for a chunk of time (maybe 3 to 6 months)
4) when i get back, move in with friends for a stint of communal living
5) get a random job to pay my minimal bills until i can find a job as a graphic designer or get clientele for my own graphic design business
6) after living with friends for a year or so, move to wolfe island (which has been my plan for when i'm 32 for several years now)
actually, i almost feel that creating a professional website would make for a 7th step, but it would go first, so i guess it would be step one.
i'm a little anxious about whether or not i'll find someone to vacation with. seriously, if you have any friends who love to travel and are fun people, please have them call me. in the mean time, i'm going to start looking at trip options, and try not to freak-out.
this time change is killing me. it's really hard falling asleep at night, and even harder getting up in the morning.
i hate money coz it makes me numb.

Great plans. And I admire you for putting them out there! There's something about spring - and being turned down for an LOA - that opens up your world to new possibilities!
