Still not done. Working on it.Slow going. I keep getting legalistic about the plot, then having trouble fleshing it out into the details.
2. Become more dedicated in my quiet time.
It's a journey, but I think I probably am better at it now than last year.
3.Investing more in my relationship with God.
There will always be more I can do here.
4. Reading the Bible all the way through.
This one did not work out this year, unfortunately.
5. Working out more; getting in better shape.
In between plagues I've really been enjoying working out and doing yoga and pilates. It's fun and makes me feel better, inside and out.
6. Keep my room clean.
I am looking at a sparkling clean room as we speak.
7. Get my license.
I believe the appointment has been made!
8. Get a job.
Due to various plagues and surgeries, I'm afraid that did not happen over the summer. I was pretty bummed about it, but the timing was not right.
9. Go to college.
AUGUST 23 PEOPLE.
10. Being more conscious of what you eat.
I don't think it gets more "conscious" than not eating sugar or carbs.
11. Write more on the side of the novel mentioned above.
I have been quite good about this. Lots of little giblets and scribbles and such.
12. Read more.
Probably not reading as much as I had intended too, but I am still reading more than I was last year.
13. Don't spend as much time online.
Have gotten better about this as well, especially with friends. Instead of always watching something or browsing the internet, we actually DO something, and honestly, it's SO much more fun.
14. Get better at guitar.
I would say I have. Working on picking, and picked up the ukelele.
15. Graduate.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. I AM NOW A COLLEGE WOMAN.
16. Grow your hair out. Don't. Cut. Your. Hair. This. Year.
I couldn't help it. I couldn't, really *blushes and gives sheepish smile* whoops! It's a bob now. But I don't regret it for a second. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new hair, and how much easier it is to do.
17. Be a better friend.
Working on it; always room for improvement.
18. Be bolder with the Gospel.
I haven't gone evangelizing or anything like that this year unfortunately, but I've tried to be more bold with bringing up the Gospel and the Lord in day to day conversation, and I think I can say I've gotten better at that.
19. Write on paper sometimes.
Oh my goodness, the wonders of doing this. It's a beautiful thing, a blank sheet of paper and a sharpened pencil. Doesn't get much better than that.
20. Keep a journal.
I have journal-ed some, but not as much as I had intended to. Maybe I'll journal some after this.
21. Invest in other people more.
I hope I have? I'm not really sure how to tell, other than to just try, and I'm pretty sure I've been doing that.
22. Go on a mission trip.
Such a beautiful experience. Still have not uploaded that letter. I'll do that after this.
23. Get more sleep this semester.
I believe I can safely say I have accomplished this goal. I'm even waking up early (6-7) and going to bed early and it feels so good. We'll see how long this will last ;)
24. Paint your nails sometimes.
*stares at nail polish collection sitting next to her and looks down at painted naile*
Yep.
25. Be happy.
26. Knit one garment for yourself this year.
So....I had almost gotten most of it done....and then the pattern started speaking another language. Maybe I'll finish it some other time. *sigh*
27. Start saving money for the future.
Thank you graduation money donators!
28. Start an inspirational notebook.
Hmm.. I had forgotten about this. Still want to do it though!
29. Wear scarves more often.
Um. Not in this weather I don't.
30. Be. Patient.
This is going to be one of those life long struggles. BUT I WANT TO FIX IT NOW.
31. Don't worry about things you have no control over.
Pretty good about this, but nobody can remain completely stress free all the time. If you're stressed it means you're concerned about something. But yeah, I'd say I'm a good balance these days.
32. Blog more.
...How many blog posts have I posted today? We'll go with that qualifies for this one.
33. Get your arm patched up.
Hey look, my arm's not oozing!!
34. Go to prom and party.
WE CAME. WE SAW. WE PARTIED HARD. And then we went for ice cream and watched the Matrix. The end.
35. Start the new writing curriculum.
Haven't finished the first draft of the other yet.

It's been a wonderful, wonderful summer so far! I'm enjoying it so much and can't wait for what happens next!
