Hello 2013

So it is 2013 and I did not write a single post last year. I meant to, but of course I never quite got around to it. In a nut shell I was busy: school, MARAC, travel, and other obligations. I did manage to write a few entries in my paper journal when I was in Germany, but that was it. Since it is a new year and resolution time I thought I would set some goals for myself. Some should be easily obtainable and others not so much, but it will give me something to check out at the end of the year.

1. Write two blog posts a month.
2. Write a letter to my grandmother once a month.
3. Lose 50 pounds by the end of the year (this is a hard one).
4. Run a half marathon in Las Vegas in December 2013 (another hard one).
5. Get up at 7:00 am during the week (the hardest one of all for me).
6. Do the dishes every day.
7. Finish school by August (meaning get my thesis done).

I have some others, but I do believe this is plenty. Honestly I am good at setting goals, but not so good and seeing them through. The things I have to do I will, but things that focus on me are harder for me to reach.   These are actually tied together in some ways so maybe they will not be as hard as they seem. If I get up earlier then I will have more time to do things like exercise. I need to lose weight and training for a half marathon seems like a good way to reach my goal. I have run a half marathon before so I know I can do it. I am not exactly setting myself up for failure. I suppose come January 2014 I will see how I did. :Let the games begin!
