I'll confess I'm not big on New Year's resolutions. They tend to peter our for several reasons. Still it's nice to think about what the new year might bring. So here's a list of things I want to do that are in no way actual resolutions.
1. Make a garden: This is in progress right now. I've attempted it in years prior, but always with too little planning and too little time. I have blueprints and lists and everything this time.
2. Bs or better: Really I'm very pleased with myself when I pass a class, especially given that I'm now venturing into chemistry and higher level math. I do not have natural talent in either subject. However I'm really hoping to raise my GPA so I can be a little more competitive when it comes time to send out transfer applications. The "good enough" grades aren't good enough.
3. Travel: It's not that I don't, but my traveling seems to be related to the animals most of the time. There's a show here, we need to go here to pick this up...I appreciate those opportunities, but it's not quite the same as traveling for the sake of travel. When I do travel it tends to be to the same handful of destinations. On the one hand I keep going to those same places because I love them. On the other hand, there's a lot of California I haven't seen. I've started clipping destinations for day or weekend trips out of magazines and sticking them in a jar. The idea is when I have the money and inclination I pull one out and go. We'll see how this system works.
I'm also not a big believer in overburdening oneself with too many changes at once. So I think these three are good for now. I've been taking it easy while I'm on break but I know in a couple of weeks I'm going to find myself very very busy.
Finally, to start the New Year off right, have some eggs!
