First, a review of my 2011 goals:
- Get a "real job"
Success? Though I'm not in my ideal career field, I was promoted from part-time hourly to a full-time, salaried position at work. - Learn Spanish
Obviously, this wouldn't be an overnight thing, but I bought the software, made the flashcards, bookmarked some educational websites...and never really did anything with them. Fail. - Finish reading War and Peace
Fail. I'm 136 pages into my brick-like copy. I blame this mostly on the job situation—I transferred offices at the beginning of February, then the promotion, and busy, and not wanting to commit to it after work (I'm in the office by 5:30am and go to bed early)... Plus my copy is truly the shape and size of a brick. Not very convenient or portable. - Photo-A-Day
Success, mostly. I have the photos, but sometimes I'd get a week or two (or three) behind in uploading and organizing them by date. But the daily images exist.
New goals for 2012:
- Really, actually finish reading War and Peace
I do want to read it. I enjoyed Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. I think I just need to actually schedule time for myself and this book. - Really, actually work on re-learning Spanish
I did well in high school, and still remember a lot of grammar and verb conjugation rules...but I've forgotten most of the vocabulary. Seriously, I need to do this. I'm now a year behind where I should be now, had I actually been serious about this in the past year. - Become a real adult. Or at least act the part.
Again, see this post. - Continue my Photo-A-Day
I really like having a visual reminder of each day. Sometimes it's an event, sometimes it's just food...but it's something tangible for every single day. - Run a Half-Marathon
Something big to mark my next birthday. I still really hate running. - Do more worthwhile and noteworthy things
I want to do fun and exciting things.
