SCAD community faces 2005 with resolution By Monique Bos While 2005 promises to be a milestone year for the Savannah College of Art and Design with the opening of SCAD-Atlanta (see story here), individual faculty members, staff and students are making plans of their own for the New Year as well. (Graduate students looking for resolution ideas may want to read “Master Works”.) As everyone knows, resolutions aren’t always easy to keep. Therefore, a few members of the SCAD community shared not only their aspirations, but also their concrete plans for fulfilling these goals. Read on for inspiration! My New Year’s resolution is to save more of my money. I plan to do this by increasing the amount that is taken out of my check and placed into my SCAD retirement account. The college will match up to a set percentage. In the long run, if I never see it, I will not miss it, but I will have it to spend later. If my pay gets bumped up with a cost of living raise, then I bump up my savings amount. -- Ernie Lee, legal counsel I’m just going to stay on track and keep working hard at school. -- Chris Myers, M.F.A. animation candidate I plan on writing more handwritten letters to family and friends. Between the phone and e-mail, I realize that this is something that I hardly do anymore. It is calming to sit down and write someone and most people like to get a letter. Maybe I will get more in return as well. -- Trey Reckling, ombudsman Keep in shape and play hard at basketball. -- Ashley Hart, sophomore, architecture What I do is make 12 resolutions, little things that can be done with no specific goal, such as “drink more water,” “lose some weight” or “pay bills earlier.” The fact that they are open-ended means they don’t get tossed away when they aren’t achieved like so many resolutions seem to be. Since there are more than one, you also feel better if you get most of them and that one “big one” doesn’t become such an obstacle. -- Glen Osterberger, art director, The Chronicle |
