2007 Resolutions Results

Make school a priority: I had two full semesters in 2007. I earned a 3.56 in Spring and a 3.45 in Fall. Not shabby. My two highest GPAs since, oh, high school. More importantly, I love school again. I only missed classes because I was ill or had a FIRST event. I look forward to attending classes (except with a certain prof ’cause the man cannot teach). I don’t put off studying until the last minute. I finally found people in my classes I could study with. I’d say I fulfilled this one.
Complete at least two quilting projects and two cross stitch progress: I must explain. When I wrote this resolution, I was only a quilter and cross stitcher. I had never really sewed anything (made two bags this year) and hadn’t learned to knit yet. I’d say I’d probably have had a seventy-five percent chance of meeting this one if I hadn’t become obsessed with knitting only a quarter into the year. I managed to almost finish a quilt for my brother (still need binding) and did maybe fifty hours of cross stitching in those short months.
Write daily in my notebook: This was never going to happen. Sure, I love to write. But try to write, on paper, daily? I go in cycles with writing. Sometimes I can only blog, others I can only use paper, others I must write NOTHING because life is way too crazy to record on paper. I’d say I wrote about eighty percent of the days this past year. Not bad, but not what I wanted.
Get (and stay at) my Weight Watchers goal weight: Not only did I quit Weight Watchers (financial reasons) before officially hitting goal, I am also up about ten pounds above my lowest weight. Do I care? Not really. I think I still look great. Screw their little BMI-is-the-best-indicator-of-obesity thing. Size six ain’t fat, people.
Make new friends and reconnect with old ones: I’ve made lots of friends just this past semester. Blame AESB, SWE and my need for study groups. Reconnecting, eh, didn’t happen. I still talk to the same few people from high school and UF. Katie and I actually had a long discussion this weekend about how little we want to talk to most of the people we hung out with in high school. They made no attempt to keep in touch, so why should we?
Not take Matt for granted: Talk about a goal I really couldn’t measure. I think I met this one but it’s hard to explain why or why not. Must remember in the future that goals must be measurable (as well as attainable and something else I always forget).
