January is upon us, which means it’s time for resolutions. Usually, I’m not a big resolution person, but after an intense year, filled with new experiences around every corner I’m feeling a little directionless. 2011 was an amazing year in every way possible and beyond. I couldn’t have asked for a better year. With 2012 staring me in the face, I’m wondering what it will hold for me. I’m a big planner and usually have something on tap to keep me focused, but so far for 2012 I’ve got nothing. Hell, I’m still trying to reassemble my life after I took it all apart to go travel. What I’m trying to get at is that I have nothing to plan and I need some goals. Hello resolutions!
I’m taking an idea from poweredbytofu and have decided to make a list of resolutions on the blog to hopefully keep me motivated. I’m naming it 29 before 30 because I turn 29 this year, which will give me 1 year and 4 months to get my resolutions completed!
29 before 30
1. Learn a new language
2. Travel domestically more (I’m feeling like I’ve ignored my own country and should get out there!)
3. Taking a cook class
