resolving to be resolute
I've never been much of a "New Years resolution" kinda gal. A couple years ago i decided to keep a list of all the books i read during the year. In 2006 it was so i could make sure to read more non-fiction, and i continued into 2007. Since 2007 was the big knitting year, the number of books i read went down, i believe about 10-15 less books, but i don't recall the book count for 2006 [2007 i read 42 book i believe].
This isn't a resolution, but it could sound like it. I need to work out at the Y once a week. Not because i resolve to it, but because i will lose my free membership if i don't. There are different accomplishments in store for me this year; taking a rock climbing class at the Y, and spending more time outside. I have been cross-country skiing twice and loved it. I love camping [real camping, not "rock-star" camping as a former roommate calls it], just need more equipment. I have never been a very fit person, even though i love yoga and walk everywhere. I've always thought that if i were the average American, eating fast food and driving everywhere, i'd be even more obese than i am [as it is i am "curvy"].
I need to be a stronger woman- physically and mentally.
Another goal is to achieve a proper teaching position. At best i was neglectful in my applications to teach in the past. This will be the first time i will put a proper effort towards a full time contracted position. Baby Carmen is growing up- i will have to be an adult someday. Honestly the real reason i never put the effort forward is a low self esteem. I may know that i am the right person for a Special Ed teaching position, but that does not mean i feel the same way. Beginning this quarter i am going to use the Career Services Center at my Uni here- learn how to write my cover letter, resume, and interviewing techniques.
Wish me luck- or better- wish me skill!!!
Ireland is coming up the end of April, and a few days at the end of March with my family in Walnut Creek [they live in suburbs of Oakland, CA-i hope to get a day to myself in San Francisco! I love BART].
Now i am just at babbling stage. Hungry. Wine on table and soon to be in empty tummy. Ooooh! Wine buzz before Mark even gets home!
