My 27th birthday is in a week! As is my tradition, last year I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish before this birthday. I'm not sure how much I accomplished this year, the list kind of took the back seat. All I can do is make better decisions about what to add to this weeks list.
-
Get Top Marks this year in my HBO Program.This is no longer an issue because I decided not to continue with the program, but with the exception of spanish, I did pretty well for myself. -
Pass the Staatsexamen or NT2, with this I will get a diploma stating that Nederlands is my official second language! Dutch took the back burner this year with my degree program, and having to learn spanish. I am going to recommit myself to learning.
-
Read more classics! I read a few classics, but not enough to cross it of my list.
-
Try 3 New Sports. Nope, not even one, unless you count running in dunes playing laser tag!
-
Learn to love my bike. I ride it more than last year, and now I am getting a new one!
-
Leave The Netherlands this year.I made it to Berlin, and in 10 days, I will be flying to the US. -
Go to more Festivals. I forgot about this one! I still haven't been to a concert!
-
Work Hard. With going to my degree classes fulltime, my dutch classes part time, my job part time, and wanting to start a more vigorous exercise program. My new motto is going to have to be Work Hard to Play Hard.I worked really really hard this year. Next year I may have to take it easy. -
Run in a race this year. Nope, exercise was not high up on my list.
-
Write a novel. Again, school and work took over.
-
Be more socialable. I have friends, but sometimes I am too much of a hermit, and I get really intimidated in large groups of other women.I even started a blogger brunch to make new friends! -
Stop Comparing my Life to Others.I've mostly done this, you should too, it is the best thing I've ever done! -
Do more art.
-
Learn to Meditate.
-
Practice my cartwheels.
-
Furnish the Kitchen. I have dreams of a crockpot and immersion blender.I've done all of this including a new fridge and stove! -
Learn to sew.
-
Join more clubs. Really, I should put attend more club meetings also.Or start new ones! -
Be more organizedStill need to work on this at home but I'm working on it! -
Make meal plans.Do this, it makes your life sooo much easier! -
Spend more time in the Southern and Eastern parts of The Netherlands. I haven't gone exploring there yet. Still haven't been, no weekends off. Until now, I'm going to start exploring when we come back from the States.
-
Become a morning person.It wasn't easy when you worked until midnight, but I managed to wake up in the AM hours, so I think that counts. -
Continue to grow my blog. Oh little blog, we have so much work to do on you.
-
Continue to save for retirement. Bad, Kaitlin.
-
Eat more veggies!Turns out I like most of them, who knew? -
Keep better in touch with friends and family in The StatesI'm going to see you very soon! -
