I feel like New Year's Eve is typically when I say I'm going to get back into blogging and then it doesn't always happen. I'm not making any promises, but here are some things I'm hoping/planning/wishing for in 2013.
1. Save my money for a HOUSE!
My newest life endeavor has led me to the realization that as a single, female, and (yes) grown up, I want my own space. I want to be able to decorate/paint/do what I want when I please. And this has led me to the realization that I want a house of my own. I know this is not going to happen tomorrow, as I've been told this is not one of those things that you can make instantaneously happen. But, I'm planning to start saving so that hopefully by the end of the 2013 year, I will have saved enough for a down payment on a house.
2. Succeed in grad school.
I start grad school next week. EEK! It's totally online, I think, and I'm a little nervous, but I cannot wait to get back into the swing of things as a student. I'm so excited to start this program, which will hopefully lead me to a dream job of working in a district office somewhere. I don't want any grade less than a B (because let's be honest, I was never a straight A student and as long as I do not get any C's, I'll be happy!).
3. Find a part time job.
I know I know....when the hell am I going to have the time for a part time job? Between SGA, teaching, grad school, when will I have time to sleep? Well, I can sleep when I'm dead. I am being serious about saving for a house. I figure if I can find a part time job that will work with me since I'm a teacher, I will be golden.
I'm not making promises of going to the gym, eating healthy, and doing all these things that I don't know if I can keep myself accountable. (I plan on doing this anyways, but you know if I say it, that means I actually HAVE to do it. and I don't want to set myself up for failure.)
Happy New Year everyone!
