At the beginning of 2012 I made a list of 52 things I wanted to complete in the year. Here's how I went with my list:
1. start my plans for starting my own business - plans made, purchases purchased and I am a little bit closer to my goal.
2. get a new job in the meantime - managed to get myself three!!!
3. start playing trombone again - haha, yes, i play trombone! - did start but stopped again.
4. plan my trip to New York in 2013 - was changed to my trip to Thailand.
5. save up for my trip to New York - saved up plenty, now being used in Thailand!
6. improve my graphic design skills - I have done this, but not by a great amount. Definitely want to continue working on this one.
7. improve my blogging - again, I have made some improvements, but need to make more!!
8. send more mail - maybe even get me a penpal or two! - need to start in 2013!
