| So here it is, almost the New Year. I believe it's time to check in on my resolutions, don't you? Well here we go, my resolutions for 2003, and their progress:Quit Biting my nailsI actually did very well with this one. I still have my moments where I feel like chewing on them, but I usually don't, and that's the good thing. I could still use a little improvement, but I'm giving myself a "pass" on this one.Learn to type correctlyThis, I'd have to say I failed. I still can't type right, and definetly not 35 words a minute. The good news is, I am getting better at not looking at the keyboard and I can sort of type the right way. I really need to learn for real though. It'd make my life a hell of a lot easier.Quit being hard on myself/doubting myself Mostly pass. I had my moments, but who doesn't? I'm a lot better about it now than I was a year ago, and that's what matters, right?Accept compliments and quit trying to convince the person giving the compliment otherwisePass. I did exceptionally well with this. I've gained some confidence in myself. Wow.Goal: be able to play three songs on the guitar well by year’s end. Yes, three well, as opposed to several terribly. Fail, big fat fail! I never had time to try and learn, so of course I fail.Volunteer at least 30 hours somewhere by year’s end. This is beyond a pass. I had a total of 154 hours at the haunted house. Then there was that time I went with Krystina to her community service thing, and got like, 2 hours. So this is definetly a pass.Find/cook/try five new recipes.It's a pass.Read at least 24 non-school related or required books by year's end.Pass. I still have to add a few books to the list, but I pass.Write in journal/online diary every day- to at least say what I did. Mostly pass. I missed a few days here and there because I didn't have access to a computer, or some other circumstance, but I did alright. There we go, my progress. Overall, I met most of my goals and was pretty sucessful. Yay me! For 2004, I don't know if I have any resolutions or not. I am looking forward to kissing 2003, and all the pain that happened in it, goodbye and welcoming 2004. I will write more later. Backward - Forward |
