New Years Resolutions/how far I’ve gotten in a week
I have a bunch of things I want to improve on in 2012 so I’ve grouped them as resolutions and goals. 2011 was a big year for me and has probably set the pace for the next few years to come, I turned 21 last march and have legit felt like an adult since then so my resolutions are pretty standard.
1. Use gym membership/lose weight/maintain fitness.
I joined a gym on Christmas Eve so I could avoid being a cliche….but it is something that’s become really important to me and the new year is an optimistic chance for me to work gym visits into my schedule. I had a personal trainer session on Friday so I’ve got a log book and recommended reps and exercises to complete, so as long as I just suck it up and follow that I should be on my way to being well fit.
2. Prioritise my Masters over work - and finish it this year.
Last year I started my Masters enrolled as full time, but within a few weeks dropped down to part time. I also managed to put off doing my internships so this year I have one subject and two internships to complete. I’m giving myself a whole year to do this. Yesterday I got a phone call from the internship adviser saying that the Biennale has an opening in my ~dream department~ so I really need to follow that up.
3. Be more organised.
Yep. Boring. I want to be able to say Yes to more things and usually my unorganised and lazy self holds me back.
I bought a moleskin so I dont have to put my work roster to memory.
Goals:
- Move out with my bb, I’ve been saving money for atleast 6 months so this will happen pretty soon.
- Save for a holiday. I’d love to go to America but could probably only afford Japan.
- Budget better and keep working on buying pieces for my wardrobe….but I think saving for a holiday and paying rent could cancel this out.
- Keep to my Goodreads 30 books in a year goal.
It’s really nice, I only tried it for a few days from samples that I asked for, but with the amount of stores they have I guess you could accumulate a weeks worth and test it out that way ;) I guess I rushed into buying it because I found some belated birthday money in my room that I totally forgot about. They test out the products on your hands which is cool I guess but just ask for some samples and go from there!
Today I splurged a little and got new cleanser, toner and hydration cream from Aesop….I also got some samples for treatments so I can spend more money there amirite?
Also, I’m trying to make an effort to use my DSLR camera over my iphone and I’m kind of shitty at taking photos without natural lighting.
