A Reflection on January

So... have I been living up to my new years resolutions so far? And not just that- have I just had a good month?

I think so. I haven't done much. I've been spending a lot of time relaxing, and enjoying the freedom of being a graduate. My social life has slowed down, as my friends are busy with HW and aren't as free as me. Plus I only have a handful of friends up here that I hang out with, which doesn't help. I knew that this life style couldn't last forever. I've really enjoyed just playing with my laptop, doing nothing, being lazy. It's good for a bit. But I knew there would be an end point. The beginning of the end is coming. I'm not yet completely fed up, but I am feeling a very strong desire to do more!

So, places that I did well: I'm still doing well health wise! I'm making good eating choices, and I'm working out at least a little each day. I've done a little bit of cleaning, and I'm even considering rearranging my room some! I feel like this is a constant cycle - even if I do a little cleaning, the mess will just come back. Especially since I don't clean all the way. I really still need to work on this. And lastly, I have done some yummy cooking! Lots of different types of Mexican food this last week trying to incorporate all the avocados I bought (I ate 4 avocados in about 5 days....). Today I made a delicious grilled cheese, avocado and roasted tomato sandwich. It was AMAZING. And as you know I'm making a yummy dinner tonight. So definitely doing ok in the food realm, so far.

Things I still need to work on: everything. :) I am really really really really excited about one thing in particular, one thing that only Rachael knows about right now. One thing that I will tell everyone else once I know more about it. Meaning, hopefully, I can update you guys in a week or two.

Also, I've been looking into places to volunteer. I've done this before, I've said this before. I really need to make sure that I'm not all talk and no action. I'm hoping that I'll eventually get so antsy that I'll just have to actually act, and not just talk. It would probably help if I didn't write about all that talk, and only wrote about all that action. Therefore if I want something to write about, I have to act, not just talk. That is my new goal!

So ... today I was good and went on a nice leisurely (albeit freezing cold) walk to campus, where I sat and wrote and pondered before walking back. It was a very nice Sunday afternoon!

Now that I am thoroughly hungry and looking forward to dinner, I leave on my last thought for the month of January. It has been a good month, but next month will be even better. I am going to act, and not just think. I will only update on here when I have done something, not when I decide that I want to do something. Wish me luck! I am realllllly good about thinking about all that I want to do.... :/
