hope everyone had a fun new year's eve :)
i hung out with my friend erin and we drank cosmos and talked about school, boys and life for hours and just had a nice quiet night. but things are looking up for 2010, so i'm quite excited about that.
so it is time to set some goals for 2010.
-have a awesome rest of my first year teaching and get rehired next year
-hopefully work where i worked last summer or find a fun summer job
-trip with my 3 best friends from college
-continue traveling around the US
-move out on my own
- join a gym
-read 100 books
- scrapbook more
-save $20,000
-take a college class
-look for the best in every situation
-a relationship
-keep in better touch with friends
-get back to europe?
-edit thesis for publication
-be happy and love my life
so i have a lot i want to accomplish this year and hopefully i'll be able to do it.
-be happy - i was pretty happy for most of 2009, it was a great year!
-work on a more healthy lifestyle - ehhh, i was good while in ireland, but the last few months could have been better
-enjoy my last 3 months in Ireland - my last 3 months were ridiculously amazing
-travel as much as possible - spain, all over ireland, italy, england, tons of road trips
-find a teaching job for September - and i am LOVING it
-find a fun summer job - i had an amazing summer teaching and leading and laughing
-start my 'big girl' life - pretty much, i have a job and bills so yes, but i feel once i move out
- keep in better touch with family and friends - pretty good, i email a lot and write letters sometimes
- become more crafty (knitting, scrapbooking) - fail
- continue reading history books - yup, and i keep buying more!
- edit thesis for journal publication - epic fail. i haven't touched my thesis since october 2008.
- save money - kinda, i have some saved up but not as much as i hoped.
2008 was pretty fabulous, 2009 is a year of endings and beginings. I'm getting a few more months in a country I love and then I'm starting my job search for both a fun summer and a teaching job starting in September, so who knows where I'll be next year? I'm ready for the adventure and crazyness that 2009 is about to bring.
i was pretty good this year, so hopefully i can continue on the accomplishing things path. 2010 is a year of living. of loving what i am doing both professionally and personally, and taking advantage of every opportunity. and having fun while doing it!
good luck to everyone on what they want to accomplish this year!

Awesome goals... especially getting back to europe. I need more vicarious travel thrills!!
That's exactly what my new year's eve was like too. Going out and spending tons is money is way overrated! Happy new year and good luck with those goals. They all sound like great ones!
Woooo 100 books..that's crazy! Good luck wiht your goals.
Holy! A HUNDRED books really puts my goal of TWELVE to shame!!
Good for you - I should've put scrapbooking on mine too as I started a couple of years ago and just kind of fell out of the habit :(
Going back to Europe is ALWAYS a good resolution :)
Good luck with your resolutions! Where in Europe do you want to go?
All the best with your resolutions, and all the best for 2010! I hope it's a good one for us all. :)
