maintain good relationships
Working on it

I’ve been spending a lot more time with my friends, and more time writing to the ones who live far away. It is amazing how much a little time spent can do for your friendships! I tell my parents that I love them more, and spend more time with my family too. It’s great, and I feel like I am well on my way to completing this goal!



Learn a third language
Finally getting there!

I tried to learn Chinese a few years ago, but only lasted about 3 months (private lessons once a week) before giving up becuase I just wasn’t motivated. For a while I let this goal just sit… but then I met my (now) fiancee, who is Mexican, and so I’ve been learning Spanish for over a year. It is going very well even though we never speak it at home together. I have been taking classes and travelled to Mexico for 2 months last year also, which helped a lot. I plan to pursue this to fluency, and then attack a 4th language!



go for more walks
need to leave my bike alone

I use my bike a LOTTTT because walking is so slow!! but I need to take more walks just for the sake of walking. it’s tough though becuase i’m not a very patient person!! just need to take some time for me. that is my goal.
