Time for a New Year

Hi! 3rd grad class is in the books, I even got a 4.0 this term! Whew! Christmas is over and we're on to the New Year already - which is my total favorite :) I love new beginnings, new chances to start fresh. This year, I'm hoping to finish my coursework for my Master's degree so that January of 2013 will point me in the direction of my grad thesis...and of applying for my PhD!

For 2012, I'm going primal. I've read that a paleo diet has greatly aided people in feeling better, healing quicker, and sleeping more soundly - sign me up for that! People have lost asthmatic and allergy symptoms and are feeling so much less heavy and bloated. I'm a little skiddish about dropping grains, sugar, and bread, but I think I can do this! There seems to be a lot of people in the same boat, so it should be a great experience.

I've signed up for the Mercer Island half, which takes place in March. Looks like I'll be walking this one, doc says the leg isn't in the right shape to be running right now. At least I can aim for a finish line :)

I'm performing standup comedy on New Year's Eve, should be a fun time. Funny that this year brought me grad school and standup comedy, I wouldn't have ever believed it if it didn't happen! I went on ONE coffee date this year and it was a dud. Next year, I'm going to have to spend more time OUT of this city so I can meet single guys. Eeyikes it's a wasteland around here...

Anywho, I hope that if you're reading this, you're motivating yourself to make positive changes in the new year. Make yourself proud. Believe that anything is possible. Never, never give up. You are fantastic! Here's to a healthy, prosperous year filled with fun memories and moments of sheer, laugh-out-loud joy!

God Bless you!
