Hello 2012, let's be friends


I got some BIG plans for this year. For starters, I'm a different person. 2011 was, in a word, craptacular. I've used this word before, and I might have even gone to lengths to describe it. But I'll go ahead and describe the word again, at least my definition. Craptacular, to me, means it was something that was fantastic and crappy. I lost a lot last year, but gained a ton as well. It was oddly bittersweet. I won't go into it, just know that it changed me, in a good way. I'm stronger on all fronts, and feel more confident in who I am. As well as, knowing exactly what I want for my life.
So, this year, now that I'm all brand new and shiny (sorta speak), I'm gonna write some things down in hopes that I can reference this later and some of my friends can keep me accountable.
For the record, I know this is a public blog, but one of things I wanted to do, was be more open about who I am and such things, so here goes.
There are 5 categories I'm going to look at here and put some items under; Spiritual, Financial, Work/Education, Relationships, Physical.


Spiritual
I want to continue on with the being part of the Drama team, and my leadership learning with the church. Eventually I'd like to have a small group that works well.
I'd like to have finished some daily reading plans, as well as get into a better habit of reading my bible and learning about it.

Financial
This is a big one
Get a passport
Get Medical Insurance
Get Dental Insurance
I have 3 savings; Emergency, Trip, and one for my taxes since I'm a contractor. I want this to happen:
5k in my Emergency
1k in my Trip (after my trip happens)
Start a Roth IRA and have 2k in it by the end of the year.

Work/Educational
School; I just want to take a few classes to learn and enhance my already existing skills; Drama/Improv, IT, Graphic Design
Get my own Domain Name website
Start a comic strip
Start my T-shirt graphic design ideas
Learn Dutch


Physical
August: Go to Holland
Run a half-marathon
Learn at least 3 to 4 different Swing Arial moves
Compete in Camp Hollywood Jack and Jill

Relationships
My current relationships with my friends and family are great. I'm truly blessed to have such an amazing group of people in my life, looking out for me and helping me. Very truly blessed. I'd like to continue to be a good friend and have these awesome people in my life.
As for the "romantic" type of relationship, I'm not looking. I'm fully aware of what I need/want/deserve for a healthy relationship. I'm not 100% closed to the idea of having relations with someone, but I'm not gonna budge on any of my ideals and concepts. I know who I'm looking for.
I think really, what it comes down to, is being more patient. I hope that I can gain more patience by the end of the year and be more confident in my choices when it comes down to it.


I think this list is a pretty darn good list. I'm excited for this year and already know it's gonna be crazy awesome. I can't explain why, but there's gonna be some crazy awesome changes happening. I'm very excited.
