I know there are still a couple of weeks left to the year, but I will be going on my annual Christmas vacation soon so I figured I would go ahead and wrap it up for you now.
12 in 2012:
1. Apply for grad school for the fall of 2013.
After doing a lot of research on schools and programs and my interests, it came to my attention that the average time to get a PhD in anthropology is eight years - without guaranteed funding. I do not want to spend eight more years potentially racking up student loan debt. So I've decided to scratch that and use the skills that I have already gained to my advantage. Hopefully I can still get a job that I will enjoy.
2. Minimalize my belongings.
I still haven't made it to Goodwill, but I have been putting together some dvds and cds that I want to sell.
4. Organize my living situation.
This will be another one for next year since I plan on leaving my job at the end of my lease and moving.
6. Go to the gym regularly. Ammended: Exercise regularly
Over the course of the year this one has fluctuated. Sometimes I do really well, sometimes I do poorly. I have signed up to run a half marathon in May, so I must work on this
7. Publish a paper.
Getting tantalizingly close to being done with this one.
8. Read my Bible and pray regularly.
I was doing pretty well with this one for a while, but then I fell off the wagon. This will be another one for next year.
Check! I guess I kind of completed this one thanks to care packages to the niece and nephew.
Finished my final. Not taking classes next semester.
More is really a relative term, but I did read more books this year than last year.
This is one I want to repeat next year.
Over all, I got about half of what I wanted to do done. Some of the things on this list are more "ongoing" types of things than do it and get it done. I guess I'll have to continue to work on them next year. How do your 2012 goals look?
