New Years Resolutions

There are a good 3-4 posts that just have not happened over the past few weeks. They will happen eventually, I think. As for now, however, let us discuss New Years Resolutions. I love them. I am AHHHMAZING at keeping them. So, for 2012 this is what I have decided upon:

1. Get into Graduate school. After I submit all of my applications, I don't think I'll have too much control over the acceptance process. All I can do is continue submitting the strongest applications I can create and pray everything works out. 
2. Get a tattoo. I have given this much thought, as one should with permanently marking their body, and I think Spring 2012 is going to be the time to embark on this. I will 100% post a picture when it happens. Hold me to it!
3. Year of the Abs. Forget losing weight, which is always one of my goals (which I did conquer in 2011!), this year I want a rocking midsection. I will overcome my hatred of all ab work and seriously tackle this goal. Eating appropriately 75...80% of the time included. ;)
4. Let us continue the theme of fitness. I would also like to run more this year. Definitely take on some more 5ks. Maybe even run a 10k next fall? I am hesitant to set the last goal because I am a scardy cat and I don't want to mess up my accomplishing New Years Resolutions streak. :D
5. In 2012 I would also like to date more? I am pretty iffy about this goal. I have been so uninterested in the opposite sex as of late, it is hard for me to imagine putting any real effort into meeting people. Don't get me wrong, I still love them and everything, but...I am just really uninterested. 2011 has not been a very social year for me...yet I don't have any real inclination to change that in 2012. Unless I get into Grad school. Clearly I'll force myself to make new friends at that point. I do want to survive!
6. Live It, Love It. Over my lifetime, all 23 years of it, I have struggled with appreciation. Over the past year or two, I have made very conscious efforts to embrace, accept and love my life as it comes to me. All of its ups and downs and happiness and ugliness. And in doing this I feel I have evolved into a better person, a happier person, a more well-rounded and balanced person. Thereby, this is one goal that I not only want to continue in 2012, but really be a part of each and every day I live.

So, this is what  I am looking forward to embracing in this upcoming new year. Have you considered what you'll conquer? Dear 2012, I'll see you in SF! SALUD Y FELIZ ANO NUEVO!!!
