2013 Reflections
1:What did you do in 2013 that you’d never done before?
I went to a few new states, mainly Seattle, and visited Canada! I also technically drove from coast to coast for the first time ever. I also had surgery for the first time.
2:Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I never make resolutions. So I didn't keep any and i won't make any. I have a few goals but I wouldn't really call them resolutions.
3:Did anyone close to you give birth?
Close? No not really. I know a ton of people who had kids but none of them are even remotely close.
4:Did anyone close to you die?
Thankfully no. I am very happy that my step-mom has really been kicking cancer's butt and she's still in my life. I don't know what I would do without her.
5:What countries did you visit?
I WENT TO CANADA. It was so perfect. I loved every second of it.
6:What would you like to have in 2014 that you lacked in 2013
Steady income and my own place in Chicago
7:What dates from 2013 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
August 8, date of my ACL surgery. It was such a turning point in my life and I really doubt I will ever forget it.
8:What was your biggest achievement of the year?
HA. Getting a good job last week was pretty big. Other than that I'm very very disappointed in myself.
9:What was your biggest failure?
RSTV is turning out to be a really big flop. It's really unfortunate because I've put so much time and energy into it but It's just not working like I want it to.
