2010 Resolution Review

As mentioned in a previous blog, I had the fantastic opportunity to parasail, also enabling me to cross something off my bucket list :)
Now, as I sit here at my office desk without much to do but try to pass time, I was thinking about my 2010 "resolution" list (inspired by my fabulous cousin Stephanie) and decided I'd do a little recap.

Let's see....(looking at my list)

1. Complete peace corp application.
Still not completed. I've been procrastinating terribly on my essays. It just seems like every time I sit down to work on them I read the question(s) and my mind just goes "Dhuuurrr..." I definitely need to make more of an effort to truly reflect on these questions and let God be the author.

2. Get a summer job.
FAIL! I have yet to find a legit job for what remains of summer and this upcoming school year :(

3. Me and God time (@least 10mins. everyday).
No matter how much time I spend with God I always feel I could spend more time with him.

4. Stretch everyday.
Another fail. I thought I would do much better at this one. I was doing well when I first added this to the list but truth be told I since my sister's wedding just about the only time I stretch is at cheerleading.

5. Thoroughly clean room, rid of unnecessary junk.
(Check!) Task completed! Although, I have a feeling this might have to happen once again once I finish senior year.

6. Complete summer reading list.
Not only did I complete my list, but I well surpassed it. I'm currently reading Blind Dates. Although, I think this will be the last one of the summer.

7. Say "No."
(Check!) I've been doing well with saying "no" and being sure not to overwhelm myself by doing too much.

8. Learn to manage finances (spend less, save more).
Well for awhile I thought I was beginning to do quite well with this one. Until recently. I went on vacation and spent quite a bit more than I should have on souvenirs and what not. I definitely learned a valuable finance lesson from this: memories and pictures are plenty souvenir enough for me!

9. Fix car, or sell and buy a new one.
With much excitement I am delighted to say "I'm getting my car fixed!!" I'm having it towed Monday to get a transmission and a new battery :)

10. Practice photography.
Oh yes. I have loads of pictures from vaca that I've been editing and what not. I'm definitely looking forward to posting them to my flickr page.

11. Write a bucket list.
(Check!) Done. Now the task it to complete the bucket list before I kick the bucket.

12. Listen more, talk less.
I've been doing much better at this, although, like #3, I feel there is still room for improvement.

Now that I have bored you with my 2010 resolution recap. If you're still reading- Thank you!

I'm getting tired and bored. So I'm going to see if there is anything else in the office to entertain me until clock out time. Until next time!
