So, I can't believe that 2013 is over. I mean sure, I lived each one of the 365 days, ticked them off one by one, and counted down while the ball dropped, but it is still surreal to me. Sure, some might think I am being nostaligic, or beginning to dread the process of aging, but it is none of that. 2013 was a rough year for me; I am surprised I made it out alive.
Oh, and did I ever. I had a New Year's Eve to be remember (which, with the amount that I drank almost didn't happen.) Husband and I went out on the town with D, DL, and Dartmer. It was fantastic. Drew was playing at a bar (read:sketchy ass place.) We danced and had a good time of it. Husband made me go home when my alarm clock to wake up for work went off. Yep, that kind of night.
But, not as two days have passed into this New Year, I realized I have not solidified any resolutions. Okay, so I realized this at work, while I was wishing I was ANYWHERE but there....so, I brainstormed a couple:
1. I will read and blog about at least one book a month. Also, half of this minimum (so, six) should not be classified as YA. I spent enough time around teenagers....which if you didn't know I was a teacher sounds really sketchtastic.
2. I will make working out a regular part of my life. (Not losing weight, but being active. Yep, changing the wording should make all the difference in the world.)
3. Be more proactive/less procrastinating in all work related things. I mean, I have been exponentially better in regards to handing back papers this year, but I can definitely up my game in lesson planning and grading faster. No more continuously waiting until the last minute.
4. Spend me time, everyday. Whether it is reading, writing, nothing. Just free my mind from all the things that weigh it down.
5. Stay in touch with those I care about better. Don't just Facebook stalk them. Reach out.
6. Start a 401k.
So, I think these are pretty reasonable goals to achieve. That is also a goal, to make reasonable goals. So, let's see how this all goes.
