preparing for the new year

As 2010 comes to a close, it's time to reflect and make plans for 2011. This year has had it's ups and downs, like most years do. I got to visit my family over the summer. It was good too see them. I spent months doing research on my family history and learned some interesting things, but still (frustratingly) cannot find much information about my grandmother's grandfather. I started college. That was huge! I love it even if it does stress me out. That's the one thing I'm really proud of that I did this year. And I got A's in all 4 of my first term classes! I lost 14 pounds this year, too! It took me 10 months and I'm not happy about that, but I'm glad I lost some weight.

So what do I want for 2011? Here's a list of my goals for the year.

1. Lose more weight. (I have a lot more to go.)

2. Keep my GPA up. (I would love to keep a 4.0 but my goal is to keep it at 3.5 or above.)

3. Brush up on my French. (I want to be fluent or at least be able to pass the language proficiency test so I don't have to take more classes later. I found out that www.livemocha.com is a free website for learning languages.)

4. Spend more time with my girlfriend. (We have a list of places we want to go and things we want to do; I want to cross some things off that list this year.)

5. Move into our own place. (Living here is getting too stressful for both of us. It's time to move on.)

6. Get pregnant. (*sigh* I don't know if it will happen, but I still want it to.)

Happy New Year!
