The year of " I can"

So in attempt to make a New Years resolution and attempting to stick to it I've decided to try blogging about my year in hopes I will follow through.

2011 was and interesting year. I started it with a job, had a lot of alone time, lots of lists and planning, and finally at the homestretch of the year acted on some long unfulfilled goals. Sounds cheesy but I found a part I myself that has been buried under pessimism and ill temper. Getting laid off (again) was blessing in disguise. All year I had started to find my joie de vivire and finally when I decided to suck it up and apply to grad school. And as many people who know me, this was a fete in itself. Let's just say I'm not one of the most low stressed individuals when approaching huge decisions in life. Worry Mom best describes me. So after multiple panic attacks, endless vices, and 15 lbs, I can proudly say I'm an expert crocheter, bake a pretty bad ass cake from scratch, and officially can call my self a graduate student!

With the start of this huge new chapter I began to see a new side of my developing self. The idea that I Can do anything I put my mind to is finally clicking in my head and the acceptance into grad school was the catalyst to it all. So 2012 is my year is of "i can" and making up my mini list of all the goals I've been putting off cause if my I can't previous self. Now I I get them completed in 2012 that would be awesome! If not at least have my kick start to a new beginning!

So here it goes:
1- 4.0 in grad school!
2- to stick to an "I can" attitude
3- to sign up for and complete a race (
4- to use my passport this year! (and not as a replacement ID)
5- to learn to put myself first and be selfish for once
And most of all 6- to have FUN!

I think that's a great start to it all and here goes!! My first official post( be kind to me fellow bloggers)

Now the only thing that can screw me is the Mayans prediction actually come true! Lol
