update: goals of 2011

I wrote out this list at the beginning of 2011, and it is now a full six months since then. Care to see how I’ve done in meeting my goals? Read on! Emboldened are those items I’ve been faithful to complete.


1) journal weekly (in my journal, not my blog)
2) teach like I mean it—student teaching was rough, but I can say with confidence that I started each day as if it were on purpose!
3) graduate PBU (get certified, succeed as a teacher, all that jazz)
4) see an obscene number of friends get married!—and still so many coming up!
5) move away (pref. to Colorado!)
6) twice a month, write a letter to a different dear (if distant) friend
—sadly, I’m not succeeding at this. On Monday, my notecards and stamps will arrive with the rest of our stuff!
7) get a piano
—still in the works. :/
8) learn 5 new pieces by Chopin
—dependent on #7. :/
9) read (and appreciate!) a Russian novel
10) finish reading the works of Shakespeare in its entirety!
11) write something worth reading
12) go hiking & camping with Kevin on a mountain
13) see sunset and sunrise on said mountain
14) learn to knit and/or crochet
15) research Trivits heritage
16) learn German… begin learning German
17) learn to cook - not really Julie & Julia style, but kinda
18) give people the benefit of the doubt, every time—definite improvements!
19) learn and play a number of different card games
20) acquire painting supplies, use said supplies
21) learn to love Kevin more than I love myself; support him; dream with him (aka be an awesome wife!)—definite improvements!
22) learn when and how to be a follower rather than a leader (and vice versa)—definite improvements!
23) read through the Bible againin progress!
24) have Kevin teach me Greek—in progress!
25) sing somewhere 
26) grow a garden (even an herb garden, come on!)
27) learn to exercise (& do it regularly!)
28) remember to not be too serious
29) study up on world religions
30) …get a new and decent job.
13/30 is pretty dang close to half! Here’s to finishing the list by my anniversary! :)
How are you doing on 
your New Year’s resolutions?
