I was never really big on resolutions, but I gave it a shot last year so I might as well give it ago this year, too. 2012 had some definite ups and downs but overall I am grateful for everything. I'm ready, 2013 - let's do this!
1. Be Happy. I know it sounds really straight-forward but frankly, it just needed to be said. This is really the big one. Any others I come up with are really just subcategories to this. I think I've gotten into a habit of fretting and worrying just a little too much. Trying to please everyone else a little more than myself. And sacrificing my own happiness (and sometimes my sanity) in the end. I think I lost a little bit of myself along the way (hey, it happens!) so now I'm ready to get back to me - no regrets, no hesitation, just my own little adventure. :)
2. Add to English. Italian has always been on my to do list. And I learned a little French in middle school and high school. I obviously don't have enough to do so I figured I'd add to it all by working on learning both (??) Italian and French this year. Krista found a website called Duolingo that I think will help nicely! I'm going to give it a shot anyway. A little bit each day, I think.

3. Selfless Acts of Kindness. I'm not entirely sure what this means exactly... I think it's open for interpretation as needed. But I think that at least once a week, I'd like to do something to make someone else happy. Someone who really needs it.
4. Work Hard, Play Hard. Yeah... I procrastinate. Let's try and have solid hours of work during the day so that at night I can just relax and not worry about it. And, GO!
5. Actually Play Hard. Time to get out of the apartment, away from Troy, outside of my comfort zone. I want to travel a little, visit friends, try new things...
6. Start a Thesis. Ok - so the qualifier has been assigned, I have until the end of January to finish it. So I guess Part A of this resolution is to pass the qualifier. From there, it's to actually start my thesis research. I want to get out of here by May 2014. (Is December 2013 possible?? That would be amazing....)
