1. Get over my physical intimacy problems so I can build a long-lasting, sustainable relationship with Luke.
Last night I talked about my experiences as a rape victim in front of fifty people at a Take Back the Night Event. It was a big deal for me. I think I’m renewing my efforts, although I can count this one as completed.

2. Do crazy things.
I want to get a tattoo! Setting up plans with my brother for getting it towards the end of the summer.

3. Get back into writing—write something I can be proud of and can finish.
I’m writing all the time, so check.

4. Do better at school—I want to get straight A’s for the Spring and Fall 2009 semesters.
I’m definitely not getting all A’s, but I’m doing pretty well.

5. Spend one day a week at school with a different group of people (i.e., not Luke, not just Matt on his own.)
Making new friends all over the place.

6. Get back into running. Train strongly and rock my 2009 xc season.
I quit running and it’s turned out to be a more successful goal for me.

7. Run GMR again.
I’m driving in a month? If things work out… they probably won’t…

8. Complete ten more things by the end of the year—so I’ll have 50 completed goals.
Gotta get on that!

9. Be a good person.
As low as my self-esteem has been lately, I can say that through all my volunteering and befriending that I’m being a good person this year.

10. Become more involved in my school.
I’m involved with everything.
