i'm back in the new year.

well. this is awkward, isn't it?

i haven't blogged since august, and it is now january of the following year. i'm back to attempt to have a place to post my resolutions.. i know. what about last year's resolutions, jordan?

we're starting again, here, internet.

here they are, in no particular order of importance:

• read more.
• try to do some sort of fitness regime at least four times a week.
• once school starts again, stay on top of the work. this means visiting the studio BEFORE finals week and studying along the way.
• also.. look nice for school. sweatpants are for the house, not the classroom.
• branch out more in photography - schedule as many shoots with models as possible, doing concepts that are internally pleasing, not for the sake of gaining popularity, but for the sake of creating beautiful work.
• start doing videos again. try for at least one each week until it can be upped to two again.
• until may, save up as much money as possible for the london trip.
• lastly, use this blog for things to go along with youtube, as well as reviews, fotd/ootd's, wishlists, and everything else - including staying up to date with these goals!

so, there you have it. i have actually started working on some of these things already.. four of them, at least, unless you count blogging, and then it's five.

i have already finished stiff: the curious lives of human cadavers, by mary roach, and very much enjoyed it. it takes a somewhat delicate, if not gruesome, subject, and approaches it in a very easy to digest (excuse the awful word choice) way. i would definitely recommend checking it out!

i am also, according to my kindle, 66% of the way through when god was a rabbit, by sarah winman, though i don't have any definite thoughts on it, yet!

as far as fitness goes, i can only say i have made the very tiny beginning step, which is to buy a new pair of running shoes. i got some new balance 574's.

i already have a definite plan for an interesting shoot with a model from lawrence on the twelfth of january, which i am very excited about, and another sort of in the works. i can't wait for either of them!

i have also got some money saved up to start a separate account JUST FOR london, which is very much needed.

that's all for now! hope you can achieve all that you wish to in the new year, and that i can, too!
