Making yourself into who You want to be

Well Let's just say that 2011 was certainly a year about making myself into a better person.  I traveled more than I ever have before, and started some roots in a few different places.  I certainly think I am a better person now than I was a year ago today.  Especially because at this exact moment last year I was still so hungover in Colorado that I couldn't move out of bed... Luckily Heather was there to take care of me.  I loved this year.  I finished my masters, almost.  I still need to finish the final draft on my paper.  I let my hair grow back out from its very short stint.  I like it longer, I feel much more like a beachy surfer girl. I moved out of Saugerties after I finished in Rochester, and did not move back in with my parents like so many of my peers have.  I saved enough money to be able to live a little before I am stuck in conformity for a long time with small paid vacations but mostly only pay cuts and paper work.I discovered how much I love pilates too. 
I met some amazing people in 2011 also.  People that changed my outlook on the world, how I coach sports, my vision on camping in the wilderness, and my perspective on teaching/ how I can make myself better.
Most importantly, I changed how I act towards guys.  Well no, I still act the same TOWARDS them, being the too outgoing type that  I am, but I hopefully changed how I portray myself to them.  I'm not some slutty girl that you can just hook up with! I am a good person! And you need to treat me better.

2011 was more about changing my reactions.  I can't change what  other people do or say, but I can change how I react to it, and by doing that, I can change the outcome of a situation.  Actions and Reactions. I went to some awesome therapy this year at RIT too, she was the bomb digity yo.  I wish I had gone sooner and more often, it was well worth it.
So my goals for this year are this:
1. I am going to stop picking at my face and/or touching it at all! My complexion would be fine if I would stop adding to the grease on my face!  errrrgh
2. I am going to take things slower, and not rush into them
3. I am not going to expect tips, only accept tips
4. I am going to drink my coffee black
5. I am going to get a job as a math teacher and love the shit out of it
6. I am going to get my own apartment
7. I am going to go camping in Utah again
8. I am going to start competing in races
9. I am going to eat paleo at least until February 1st
10. I am going to show my true self to people, not only what I want them to see.

That's a pretty positive list of things I got going there.  I hope I can stick to them. No, I will stick to them!
