motetus- Get married. Kill off husband, claim his life insurance, go shopping.
- Start part-time masters if I'm allowed (had an interview today, it sounds like it's all okay as long as the postgrad office are happy with my start/finish dates).
- Get published. Comes under hopes, given I really don't have any control over this.
- Eat several times my body weight in hawker stall food on our trip to Singapore (yes, we are leaving two days after the wedding, but it doesn't count as a honeymoon when you're getting on the same flight as your parents).
- Paint more, and do some serious anatomy practice. Especially hands. God, how I hate hands.
- Not buy any more camera equipment until at least December. This starts after today. Look, I was going to buy it by summer anyway, and it's a hundred pounds cheaper than I was expecting to pay.
- Stop feeling guilty about the above purchase.
- Use up those air miles and take a long weekend somewhere in Europe, depending on how finances are after the summer. Make a few trips up back up to Scotland to visit friends. Also, visit London for a weekend and meet up with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I woke up today to an interview on the radio with some author - I think he wrote In Praise of Older Women. I didn't catch all of it given I was only half awake, but the part I did get was when he was saying how an intelligent 20-year-old woman may be more attractive than a 50-year old idiot, but she's still nowhere near as impressive as she'll be when she's 50 or 60. I know that opinion isn't shared by many people, but I thought it was really lovely thing to hear. It certainly made me feel so much better about becoming old and wrinkly.

Don't look up how much it costs, really.
