Welcome to 2012! Already things have started off with a bang, we had a bit of shaking and rolling this afternoon. An earthquake M7.0 hit near some islands south of Tokyo. Makes me wonder how things will pan out for the rest of this year....

My plan for this year is to completely finish studying by June. Yay! Although it does mean leaving my family here and then spending 2 months back in Australia to complete my training, which I'm really not looking forward to doing. I feel like I've been studying for so long, it will be great to finally get it all done.

Since my attempt at the 365 day challenge failed spectacularly last year, I'm not going to try it again this year. But I would like to make the goal of finishing at least one piece of work, whether it be a sketch or a finished painting, every week. I guess I could call it a 52 week challenge!!

Let's see how I go! Best of luck everyone, I wish you success with your New Year's resolutions, whatever they may be!
