Why hello over 7th months since my last post

Indeed, I have let 7 months of 2011 go by without updating you my little bloggity but finally, after some serious password resetting of the wrong, and than right blog I am here. SO, for all you readers who were on the edge of your seat to see how my goals turn out (all none of you) here it is:                        
* Read 30 books or some jazzy number. I'm on book 20, and going strong I suspect this goal may be reached by August.  So, boss.


*Peace corp app - it's on my list, but not a ton of progress on this front, sadly, and in part because I'm weighing my post graduation plans. I may relocate to a new dreamy city(London anyone?) travel (Venice anyone?) move back home (anti climatic anyone?) masters program or peace corp. SO until I pick a path I'm not too ambitiously striving for any, and for now I'm okay with that.

*GPA - yeah we don't need to talk about last semester. It was brutal, but my cumulative is still a 3.27 or something so I'm gonna get back to my learning loving roots and rock out senior year.

**SIDENOTE** there are mother truckin flying ants in the house. FLYING attack of the freakishly giant ants. It almost got in my breakfast - rip it G-force flavor - and I would've been about eight shades of ragin.

*Successful Pay it Forward Tour. To answer that is a little tricky. I hear good things from most, albeit, not all participants, and on that tour I got so sick as to warrant hospitalization(of course I didn't go and just slept and shook for several days post tour). I had my heart broken when people I loved hurt me in ways I never expected, and I threw so much of what I am so much of my life outside of that was compromised. Overall though I'd say success - even for me as I am stronger and considerably more unattached now giving me a liberating freedom I'm rather enjoying.

*Run a 5k. No. this didn't happen, and I'm not sure I like running. I've stopped running and starting working out in different ways I think I like more, but we'll see what the next 5 months bring.

*Find Peace - I am making exceptional progress on this front, and that's all I'll say about it.

*Get 2nd tattoo - nothing is striking me as appropriate and having my neck tattoo through everything makes it more and more meaningful so the idea of one tattoo is growing on me.

*Get in SERIOUS shape - I enjoy my wording on that, as if non serious shape is an option. I am, and have been exercising 4+ x a week for usually 44-120 minutes depending on the variables. I have been eating healthy overall. I don't eat out at all anymore. I refuse to give up energy drinks and am sticking to it but I have limited them. I most likely won't become a runner - as it turns out I don't love it like I thought I would.

*Volunteer more - I'm doing a volunteer internship for the 11th annual Walk Of Hope on September 10th 2011 with firstlink in Fargo. It's an amazing cause and I'm honored to be a part of it.

*Raise 400 or more dollars for the Relay that happened in April. I did but I also have mixed feelings on that.

*Learn something new and challenging. - I am teaching myself Spanish and am at the intermediate level.


*Get an effin car - technically I have one, but it has no breaks and it may not actually ever be mine to use. FAIL.

*Find my happiness - also coming along nicely.

So there you have it. my goals for this year are coming along nicely as are my life long list of goals. I am proud of myself and I am excited for a future that for once is mine. 100 percent mine. Motivated and  decided by me and I can't explain how happy that makes me.


ALSO though not on my list and important addition I am reconnecting with my faith and my art. Til next time, which will hopefully be sooner rather than later take care.
