Last year, I was unable to cosplay due to financial troubles. We'd recently moved and all of my costumes, wigs, etc. along with my sewing machine were packed up and being stored at my aunt's place. In fact, it's all still up there.
:c
It was hard to wander the con with my friends and be the only one out of costume. I felt incredibly left out. That's why I plan to pick up my sewing machine and my trunk of fabric when I visit my aunt for the holidays. I also have a paying job now, and I'm hoping to have some spare cash for some new costumes this year!
So, goal number one! Have at least one new costume finished by April. I miss sewing, and I'm genuinely concerned that I'll struggle with it since it's been so long. That's why I want to get back into it as soon as possible!
Secondly, I want to get fit. I'm actually already pretty slim but I want to tone up. Thankfully, that new job I mentioned...yeah, I work at a gym. :> I have a few months, so I'm not especially concerned. Just gotta keep eating well and stay active at work. Plus the job comes with a free gym membership so I can go in and work out on my days off.
Third, I want to have a decent amount of money saved up by March. Hotel/food/transportation money, cash for the AA and DH, and a little extra in case of an emergency all set aside. I also plan to pre-reg, of course.
I also want to try to be a little more social and make some new friends. o uo That and attend more events. Concerts, gatherings, panels, screenings, etc. I went to several last year, but there were a lot of panels that I ended up missing due to various reasons.
I want to make the most of the next Fanime. I'm really looking forward to it and it's a big motivator for me to keep working hard.
This post has gotten longer than I planned! > u< I think I'll end it here.
