Happy New Year! And 2010 goal wrap-up
Happy New Year, everyone!
Before I post my yearly list-o'-goals, I want to sum up my goals from last year. I am VERY HAPPY, because I FINALLY reached my goal of watching 500 TV episodes in 2010! That wouldn't have been a challenge for me in the past, but since the Great TV Strike of a Few Years Ago, my TV-watching habits have dropped off. But! This year I was determined to reach my goal, and I did! Way back in September, actually! I estimate that I watched around 600 episodes in total last year (estimate because I had computer problems in the fall and stopped counting).
I'm also happy that I reached my movie-watching goal of 50 movies in 2010. A couple years ago when I was dating a movie buff, hitting 50 was not a problem (in fact, I hit 100 that year!), but on my own it's more of a challenge. But thanks to the movie channels at the place where I housesit a few times a year, I just hit 50 last week!
My focus for 2011 will be to reach my reading goal. Despite being a bookworm growing up, I've found it hard (ever since I've started keeping track) of reaching my 50-books-in-one-year goal. Even with a push at the end of 2010, I only reached 38 (and I *do* read a lot! I just tend to read slowly). I'm actually proud of that 38, because even though I reached 39 in 2008, a number of those books were coffee table-type books and so were faster to read. Otherwise, the most I'd read in the last few years was 33. So 38 is pretty good for me! But this year I want to hit 50. I think an ereader may be in my future, and I imagine that would help out.
Actually, I will probably finish off a number of books this month alone! Thanks to my late-2010 push, I'm in the middle of a few books now and have a whole pile beside my bed and am in quite the reading mood. So! I think I'll be starting this year off with a bang! Yay!
How did you do on your goals for 2010? What are your goals for 2011? Good luck!
