Well.  It’s been a year!  Time for some more resolutions!  I’m going to try to do the same thing as last year, with a resolution to check in on every month.  Before I start the new ones, let see how well I did on last year’s!  The blow-by-blow tally’s after the cut, but it seems I only kept about 25% of my resolutions.  Ouch!  Hopefully this year will be better!

January – Be more prepared in my job.  I don’t think I want to continue in this field forever, but I should probably try to get the organization skills I’ll need when I switch into a real career XD

February – Get better at web design. 

March – Make a biweekly blog/comics post

April – Learn an instrument

May – Exercise more/lose weight

June -Learn Japanese

July – Write thank-you letters

August – Travel abroad

September – Finish a creative project

October – Learn to sew

November – Save $2,500.00

December – Eliminate $7,500.00 of debt.

There we have it!  Hopefully this year I can hit at least 50%

So last year I had twelve resolutions, one for each month.  They were…..

Jan 09 – Finish a comic…..not done! …..0

Feb 09 – Make weekly blog & comic posts…they were actually montly on the comics site…but that is better than usual, so ………. 0.5

Mar 09 – Healthy/weight is better than it was, likely due more to a change in geography than my own habits, though I did exercise a bit…..0.5

April 09 – Read more.  I et out to read at least four new books this year, and did so.  Not too many, but enough considering I’m not a great reader, I say hooray…..1

May through October were busts – no learning the guitar, no learning the piano, Japanese, etc.  0 on all months.

Nov, Dec 09 – save $5,000 and eliminate $5,000 of debt.  I  didn’t quite hit this, but I’d made up the number arbitrarily.  I also ended up switching jobs and relocating, which cost a pretty penny. Though I didn’t quite hit either target, I have more money saved and less debt than I did last year.  So half credit for each.  ….1
