2013 Resolutions

1/4/2013

2 Comments

 
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....)
