End of the Year Wrap Up
It doesn't feel like a year has gone by, but maybe with school keeping me so busy everything just seems to mush together. The year is over, which means its time to see how I did managing my goals for the year.
1. Explore Turlock. I tried new places to eat, found some good ones I think. Checked out a couple parks, they're beautiful by the way. I also went to Sharkey's, which is a little pool hall for anyone interested, there's food, music, even a few arcade games if you're interested. I'd say this one is a check, although I might keep it on the list just so I go and keep looking at what's out there.
2. Get Back into crafting. I made some progress in my crafting (did I mention I had like 3 projects going at once?) I need the motivation, and somewhat the time and space to do it. I just need to pull a table into my room and just lock myself inside for a week, and I'll get stuff done, as long as I'm working and going to school that might be a bit of a problem. It just didn't happen like I wanted it to, at least not as much as I wanted to.
3. Get a 3.5 GPA. Spring 2014 semester ended with a 3.2 GPA which I was kind of okay with, but getting on the Dean's List having that 3.5 would have made all the difference. Fall 2014 came with some slightly new challenges and an old one too, that being said my GPA was 3.49, oh how mad was I when I was this close to the GPA I wanted. Ugh
4. Read the 5 books listed. I read, and read, and read...and then read some more. Over the summer I had put my mind to it and read the five books listed, and then read a couple more. It was my summer, and reading was just a good pass time. I read a total of 7-8 books, and I've still got the intent to read more. I did it!
5. Be more experimental with baking. I'm not sure I experimented as much as I wanted with baking, but I did get new recipes, use a few of them such as the roasted strawberry banana bread. I think I more expanded my cooking skills this past year making new things for dinner and not always going for the simple stuff, but I'll take it.
6. Go to the gym 3x a week. During school is when I tend to keep this workout up. My roommates and I try to go to Zumba 2-3 times a week, and then if we are lucky or bored or something we will go do a different workout 1-2 different days. It was a little hard planning because of having a night class, and schedules that didn't mix together. Don't you know going to the gym with a buddy is a lot more fun then going alone? I had the determination, and for about 95% of the time going to the gym worked out well.

I've decided to keep my goals going this year as well. Here is what I've got planned for this year.
