Goals for 2013

SO instead of putting new year resolutions (which I know is kinda late to blog about) I think I am just going to say goals for the new year.
1. Make healthier choices! I want to try and exercise everyday! and of course eat better.
2. Get back into running!
3. Travel! Well I am pretty sure I already going on a cruise to Mexico. It would be nice to get to go somewhere else.
4. Save money and try to pay off at least one of my student loans!
5. I am just going to say be more creative with my art. I havent been able to paint as much as I would like now that I have a full time job. I would like to try and get more into the creative world. I showed my stuff locally in Milledgeville, but I need to find somewhere in Charlottesville to do it.
6. Start playing a instrument. I have always wanted to learn to play a string instrument. I am thinking violin would be awesome, however I heard its super hard. Since I have gotten into more folksy bluegrass style music I think violin is gorgeous instrument.
7. More live music. I always have a need for concerts and live music. Unfortunely I really wanted to try and go to Bonnaroo again, but I dont think it going to work out this year, but maybe Coachella? or Hangout Festival? There are so many festivals a year I am sure I will figure out something.
8. Get a tattoo! I want to get my first tattoo! People are so surprised when they find out I dont have one. I am thinking about elephant (bc I love them and they mean luck), hot air balloon (bc I have always wanted to ride one and I just think they are awesome), or the quote "And in that moment I swear we were infinite (with the infinite sign instead of the world)"-from perk of being a wallflower
9. Continue to learn more about sewing. I would like to sew my own skirt or bag.
10. Get my own appartment without a roommate. I want a extra room where my parents can come visit and stay in also a place to store all my art. I think I am just ready to live by myself.

Recap from the past New Year Resolutions

Okay so I am going to be honest I didn't stick to all my new years resolutions last year. But I decided to look at my old post and see what I accomplished and didn't. I feel like this will be a good way to challenge myself for next year. Thats the beautiful thing about having a blog I can recap old post. Goals for 2013 will be coming soon.

Things I accomplished
1. Search, apply and land an amazing job. I got my first big girl job. Yes that was number 1 on my list last year.
2. Become RVT. I am currently ARDMS certified in OB/GYN, Abdomen and Physics. I think it would be awesome to start preparing to take vascular. The more credentials the better! I am RVT (vascular) registered. The more letters behind your name the better. CHECK
3. Learn to sew. I took my first sewing class and learned the basics but I would like to continue to grow on this.
4. Go to more concerts- I love live music and some bands I wanna see include Arcade Fire, My Morning Jacket, Radiohead, Feist, Florence and the Machine, The Black Keys (ive seen them open for kings of leon, but I wanna see them headline), and Fleet Foxes. Well I accomplished this one I think. I went to Bonnaroo where I saw Radiohead and Feist. It was an amazing experience I also saw My Morning Jacket. I still gotta see Florence, Fleet Foxes and Arcade Fire. Of course I still want to go to concerts in 2013!

Things I need to work on from my past list..
1.This seems to always be on my list- BE HEALTHIER! I am going to give an excuse but since I have had my full time job it has been super stressful and I havent been working out/eating like I want to. I got to learn balance!
2. Do another art show. I havent even been able to paint like I use to much less try and put on another art show. However I am working on trying to figure out some places I could display my works
7. Travel. I dont care where I go I just wanna go. Well, I have mixed feelings on whether I accomplished this. I went on a cruise 2 years ago so technically thats a step and I also moved 9 hrs away from home BUT...I would like to go out of the country or  I think it would be fun to also go out west!
8. Start dating. Complete fail at this. BUT it has been hard to meet people moving 9 hours away much less start dating!
9. Read more. I want to finally start reading all the Harry Potters. Ive seen all the movies multiple times, but I wanna read all the books! Well I have read 1 complete Harry potter book since I posted this last year didnt do to good on this one either!.

Another year, Lots of new dreams!

1. Search, apply and land an amazing job.

2. Become RVT. I am currently ARDMS certified in OB/GYN, Abdomen and Physics. I think it would be awesome to start preparing to take vascular. The more credentials the better!

3. This seems to always be on my list- BE HEALTHIER! I want to get back into running and counting calories. Counting calories can be hard, but I did it for a while it really made a whole lot of difference! Just being aware of what your putting into your body. Also if you occasionally give into a bad craving then you can document it and just work out more.

4. Learn to sew. I love crafts. Last Christmas I got a sewing machine and have still yet learned to sew. Its going to happen this year.

5. Go to more concerts- I love live music some bands I wanna see include Arcade Fire, My Morning Jacket, Radiohead, Feist, Florence and the Machine, The Black Keys (ive seen them open for kings of leon, but I wanna see them headline), and Fleet Foxes.

6. Do another art show.

7. Travel. I dont care where I go I just wanna go.

8. Start dating. Ive kinda been anti-dating just because of school and plus I hate the awkardness of dating. BUT ima try to give more people chances.

9. Read more. I want to finally start reading all the Harry Potters. Ive seen all the movies multiple times, but I wanna read all the books!

A NEW YEAR!

Okay so I finally decided its time to get a blog. I have been putting it off because I didnt think I would have the time or patience. However, its a new year and I wanna attempt to try! So this is my first post!

Goals for the new year.

1. Be healthy and maintain a balance in my life. Trying to deal with school and work can be overwelming at times, however I really want to focus on balance. I wanna maintain a more healthy lifestyle than the last year.

2. Learn how to sew! Im so excited for christmas the lovely santa got me a sewing machine. I havent actually gotten it yet but Im still so excited its a BERNETTE 46. Its so lovely and perfect and I cant wait to learn!

3. Be a better person. I have come to realize I struggle with keeping patience especially with people, but also with tasks, school, work and etc. I am going to try and work on this.


4. I wanna sign up and actually participate in a run. I am not actually sure which one yet, but I will figure it out. However first I need to keep practicing!

these are just a few goals that I can think of at the moment ...
