I wrapped up the 2007 year and kicked off 2008 at sort of a random house party in Issaquah on the shores of Lake Sammamish lats night. It was a pretty fun time.... but regardless, here's a list of my new year's goals and resolutions.
1. Become a first-time home buyer.
I've set this goal for 2 years now and haven't gone through on it. People ask "what's up?" and all I can say is that there's no rush. And there really isn't. This is a huge life and financial choice that I don't want to do it with regrets. That said, with the market the way it is, I hope I'll be concluding this goal in the next few months.
2. Apply and begin Graduate School.
This has also been on my list but I've been really busy at work, and have been afraid of the outcome if I have to balance all of it out. I've got all the pre-requisites to go to start applying, its the matter of actually bucking down and doing it.
3. Community Service.
I want to get more involved than I already am. My friends and I have been developing some plans for educational improvements within our respective professional societies, and I'd like to continue to work and finally implement these. I'd also like to continue mentorship work for kids and whatnot. I dont think this has ever been on my list of personal goals, but this year I'd like to put it on and take it into action.
4. Healthier Lifestyle.
I've made some great strides to eat better, and eat more diversely. I was not a big seafood eater, or actually never ate seafood, until recently. Now I can eat it just fine, amongst other things I always took a pass on. I've also been striving to try to eat healthier and am going to continue to do this into the next year.
5. Cook more foods.
Learn to cook foods butter. I can cook some things, but I am always interested in trying new things. Plus I like throwing spices into foods. :)
6. Self-Confidence and that sorta thing.
Always need to improve on this item in certain situations.
7. Stop spending money on random gadgets, gizmos, and techie stuff.
This will be very challenging... in fact, I'll probably fail miserably.
8. Improve on snowboarding.
I finally am a season pass holder this year and so I should have no excuse but to get better. I have steadily improved, I think, over the past 3 weeks the few times I've gone up, so this isn't that unrealistic of a goal.
9. Finally watch the Seahawks hold up a Super Bowl trophy
this is the year.... this is the year....
i hope.
10. Travel the world some more.
I went to alot of neat places in 2007, and want to do more in 2008.
France, Spain, UK, Prague, Amsterdam (again) - are my main goals. I also want to visit Australia, Iceland, Hong Kong, Vietnam (again), and Whistler. :)
11. F ind A Girl
so back in college, a few of us had a make-believe 'secret society' called FIND A GIRL. Sure, we've had graduated fine citizens and many that left the club and rejoined it soon-after. This year, I will strive to graduate the club.. hahaha. (much sarcasm involved here, but there's a little truth to every joke)
