Final Grades and New Goals

This year is coming to a close. Honestly, I feel like it already has for me. Seems to me Christmas and my birthday marks the new year for me. I don't usually do the whole New Years Eve thing. However, there is a possibility I'll do more than i normally do--like, actually be with friends this year and make a fun night out of it. Possibly.

I suppose it's best to use this entry as one of analyzation and goal setting, as per typical new years resolution blogs.

So, resolutions from last year:
Be the best intern I can be. Then graduate. Yay! Then get a job. Yup. All this new year--2009.
--On this one, I'd say ACCOMPLISHED!
Learn to drive/get my license. I don't know why this is so bloody hard for me to dedicate myself to...
--Yeah..... UTTER FAIL. I got my permit but haven't done much with it. Boo.
Work out. --Okay, so not likely, but it would be good for me...
--FAIL. Fail, fail FAIL.
Eat right. Well, eat better...Hang out with my best friends. Cuz I just don't get enough time with any of you.
--I'd give myself partial credit here. I have learned to like salad and drink more water. I've practically given up candy and sweets cuz my teeth are sensitive and I LOVE vegetables. So I guess i'm getting a little better about what I eat. Still need work though, especially cuz the working out goal failed miserably.
Be more positive. It's working wonders so far, but I can still do better.
--Partial credit. I've really had to fight the pessimism at times this year, as is evident by my journal. But I've had a lot more up times than the year before, I think so this is progress.
Work on learning to sew. Practice. Make something. Improve.... yup.
--Just a pat on the back. Not failed, but definitely shouldn't be given credit for the stupid little hats I made. The skirt i made is good though. Thing is, I got back into cross stitching instead of practicing sewing...

That's it. I didn't make many. And I won't make many this year. I don't like coming back to my goals a year later to see that I've utterly failed all of them. I make some that are attainable without effort, some that need a little more effort, and some that need a lot of effort. That way, I at least accomplish something and can keep working towards those that take more motivation.

For 2010:
--Get my drivers license. This is critical to moving forward in my life. I may never have a boyfriend, but a drivers license should not evade me any longer. This is ridiculous.
--lose weight/get in shape. this is also getting out of hand.
--Graduate with my AS degree. Only two classes stand in my way. I need to pass all four classes for financial aid, but only the two really REALLY count. Bring it.
--Have another AWESOME summer like i did this year.
--Rearrange my room(?) [more like my stuff. reorganize my shelves, change up some pics, ect...] This always gives me a sense of renewal and refreshing, plus I get rid of old lame stuff or rediscover things I'd forgotten about.
--Make periodic monetary goals to have in my bank account. i.e. have $XXXX by the end of april or something like that.
--take and pass CDA(?) and get that out of the way
--work on CE units for license (25/2 years)



Oh, and on a random note of happiness that I'm quite sure no one but myself cares about--that terrible rash on my neck is finally, after three years, gone. No trace of it. I CAN WEAR JEWELRY AGAIN! :D This makes me unbelievably happy. :D
