2011 goals


here are the 2010 goals and what i accomplished... it was an interesting year. but overall i think i was pretty successful on my goals and made some progress on the ones that i didn't accomplish. 

-have a awesome rest of my first year teaching and get rehired next year: awesome first year =check... get rehired= stupid budget and not finding out until the last weeks of school... still kinda bitter
-hopefully work where i worked last summer or find a fun summer job: dc didn't work out, but i had a fun summer in mystic sailing!
-trip with my 3 best friends from college: road trip didn't happen for me.... but we did have a fun weekend in boston, and i've been able to see the girls individually a few times which has been fun, plus 3/4 of us are ringing in 2011 together!
-continue traveling around the US: check - adventures in kansas & missouri with ptrish and maine with amy! plus all my east coast road trips to see friends! 
-move out on my own: this plan has been put on hold by the whole no job thing... this will happen in 2011!
- join a gym:check! and i'm going 3-4 times a week, plus i ran a half marathon in september
-read 100 books: i read 90 books this year, so pretty close.
- scrapbook more: ummm, i need to work on this.
-save $20,000: $17,000 was the most i saved, the savings balance is a bit lower right now, but i was good until i didn't have a job, and decided to go to Europe
-take a college class: ummm, not with the no job
-look for the best in every situation: i try to, especially the way things have been since june.
-a relationship: ummm, was seeing someone from january to may and a few dates this fall...
-keep in better touch with friends: yes, i have been writing a lot more emails and real letters too!
-get back to europe?: close - going on eurotrip in 3 days!!!! 3 weeks in zurich, prague, budapest, vienna, cologne, amsterdam & ireland, 
-edit thesis for publication: hahahahhahahaha... again
-be happy and love my life: i am pretty happy and things are going well, everything happens for a reason, so just trying to figure out where to go from here. i've done a lot of really awesome things and i'm seeing the year off as a chance to get to do different things and go on adventures


so the goals for 2001, well they will be similar. the things i love in life are being happy, traveling, reading and being outside. now as i have no idea where 2011 will take me i can just hope for a happy, fun and healthy year. 


- find a full time job where i am happy (preferably teaching) 
- move out and get my own place
-continue traveling both in the US and internationally (i would LOVE to get out west again)
- read 100 books
- continue working out 3-4 times a week and run another half marathon
- save an additional $12,000 this year
- scrapbook more
- continue doing my photo365
- cross 5 things off my 30 by 30 list
- blog more (125 posts) 
- a relationship
- continue looking for the best in every situation
- enjoy life and have fun!


so those are things i'd like to do in 2011! any others you think i should add to the list?
