This Year vs. Last Year. Resolutionally.

And just like that the new year has come and gone and before I decide to come up with resolutions for 2010, I think it is a good time to go over what I said I wanted to accomplish in 2009...

Things I would like to accomplish in the year 2009

1) Move to a different neighborhood

2) FINALLY finish my degree

3) Get my passport

4) Travel to Europe

5) Make more female friends (this is harder than one would imagine!)

6) Decide what I want to do with my degree and take appropriate actions to get there

7) Ski Mt Bachelor

8) Rollerblade on the Boardwalk in LA

9) Buy a Motorcycle

10) Learn how to ride a Motorcycle

11) Learn at least 75 new Kanji characters

12) Find happiness, even if that is just with myself

So lets see here... number 1... check... number 2.... check... number 3....uh... 4....5..... (see the previous post for progress on this one).... 6... 7 (we were going to go to bend but it didn't seem to happen).... 8 (I did go to San Diego and ride a bicycle on the boardwalk, this has to count for something!)...... 9 (not that I didnt want to, but I didnt have the money)... 10... 11 (maybe a couple this year)... 12 CHECK!!

So, out of 12 it is looking like I accomplished 3 and a half.

But the ones that I did get were the more important ones..

So for this year:

1) Buy a house or at least move into one

2) Savannah and Myrtle Beach!

3) Write at least one chapter of a book

4) Find a way to make a dent in my student loans

5) Decide what I want to do with my degree and DO IT

6) Get out and travel a bit more, even if it is simply in the US

7) Reconnect!!

8) Should I add getting my passport to the list once again? Second time is a charm?

9) Take Ethan to the Children's Museum

10) Spend more time writing in general. Blog, Journals, Creatively.

11) Find a creative outlet and explore it.

12) Keep smiling. No matter what.

The more things on the list, the more chances of actually getting something done :)
