Goals of a Master... Student

Christmas was great, and I even got what I wanted! I was very surprised. Of course, I also asked for a boyfriend for Christmas, but Santa must be out of stock.

Now it's time to reflect on the past year and look forward to the new. As for last year's goals I didn't reach all of them, but I did get a few. My favorite being buying a violin bow. I sound so good now!
Get A's in my Master's program courses
Buy a violin bow
Work on my family genealogy
Grow out my hair again

I haven't taken a lot of thought on what I want to do for the next year because a lot of my goals are just extensions of previous ones.

I want to get healthier and exercise at least 3 times a week
I want to go to the temple weekly
I want to continue dating more and meeting more people
I want to draw and finish a sketch
I want to finish my Europe Scrapbook
I want to survive Grad School and continue getting good grades

I figure if I write them down then I find them again and remember what the heck I'm supposed to work on this year. I think I'll mostly focus on grad school and being healthy. That way they should help each other and I'll have a more positive year all around.

My goal this week has been to finish as many books as possible before school starts next week. I'm already on my 5th book since the beginning of January. Then I had to take a 3 day break since I developed a sleeping disorder called Reading. Too bad it's taken ahold of me again. I'll sleep next week.

Also - just in case you were wondering, my birthday last week was fabulous! My party may have been lacking in single men (to my mother's dismay) but it was not lacking in fun!! I've been eating left-over pie now for 3 days. That's healthy too right? It's made of things that used to be fruit.... or chocolate beans. :)

So now this post has covered two holidays and my birthday. What else will I have to write about this year?!? hahaha

Rushing!

Sorority Life . Not what I thought, at least for Lamba Delta Sigma . To begin with, I didn't know what a sorority was until the day I joined. I thought it was full of prissy girls who go shopping, gossip, and wear pink all the time (kind of a Legally Blonde persona, see picture). But my friend Nadia didn't want to join alone so she dragged me along and convinced me to do it too. By the time I left the first day, I could see my presumptions were wrong. It wasn't full of silly blondes in pink skirts and high heels at all, instead they were all young women like me. This was great news because now I can tell blonde jokes without having to explain them fifty times! Since I'm not taking classes this fall I decided I needed a change in things to make sure I keep active, especially after not doing too much this summer when it came to friends. Not that it was that bad being a homebody. Watching my sisters turn their pretty faces into gruesome troll expressions is quite ...

Believe that the Earth turns Slowly

[Photo taken by me at Aphosian Gardens 2008] Life is moving really fast for me now. I can't believe how many things will happen within the next two weeks, most of which I'm not entirely prepared for. First of all, my birthday in a couple days. I'm young yet, early twenties but am I the only one who finds it weird when they become a year older? I don't feel much different than I did last year, and with everything going on it doesn't feel like my birthday. Normally I start counting down at the beginning of December because I just add 2 weeks onto the countdown to Christmas. This year, at the beginning of the week I had to count to make sure my birthday was actually this weekend. I'm just too preoccupied to think about it much. I also have school starting next Monday, and I'm going part time, but I'm working part time at crazy hours running back and forth from school and work, and my best friend gets married right after it starts. At least her wedding isn...

Bibliophile - Book Lover - That's me!

I absolutely love to read. My whole family is a bunch of readers and every one of us has our own collection of books. (Mine covers my ledge stretching along my 9 foot wall... and I ran out of room for them.) When I was younger (maybe 10) I found out my Grandma Walker kept track of every book she read in a journal and wrote it down, so I began my own book journal. So since 1997-ish I've written down each book's title, author, summary, date finished, how much I like it, and number of pages. I like to keep track of how many pages I've read in a year and the most I've ever gotten was just over 11,000 pages. This year I'm up to about 7,000 which is normal for me at this point. Seeing how I'm obsessed with books I thought I'd mention some of my favorites and favorite authors if you're ever looking for something to read since I have a few people who ask me for reading suggestions as it is. My new found favorite author is Brandon Sanderson. If you haven't he...
