Is it 2012 already?!

Woah. Less than 10 posts before was my Resolutions post! Where has all the time flown!

This year has been quite eventful:

• Started working full time as a compensation consultant
• Walked for graduation!
• 4 years <3 (4.5 coming up…but I guess .5 years aren’t really worth getting excited over anymore hahahah)
• Went to Key West, FL and Cozumel, Mexico (kinda…)
• STARTED DRIVING! (ZOMG! I KNOW! GET OFF THE ROAD PEOPLE!!!)
• Started my career as a grad school student!
• Attempted dragon boating…and failed
• joined my group’s softball team

However, as with last year, I wanted to do a recap of my year and my expectations for the coming year.

1) Relaunch my online shop

I DID IT! I relaunched it, but as with last time, it was a complete dud…so I ended up throwing out/donating most of the things that I had hoped to be able to sell. I needed to clean out my room a bit to rid myself of all the clutter.

2) Study for the GMATS & take them hopefully before work begins

Well, I didn’t take them before work started, but I took them anyway…so I guess that counts!

3) apply for Grad school at Baruch (part time)

And so….the death of my nonexistent social life…

4) Read Harry Potter and the Half-blooded Prince & Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

I KNOW I KNOW! I really need to get on this!

5) Crochet a hat…and scarf…and mittens

Yeah….my hopes to learn how to crochet completely went down the drain…

6) lose five pounds

I think I did the exact opposite. Work has made me gain 5 pounds instead. However, since my parents left to go to China, I’ve lost a few pounds cause I haven’t been able to eat anything good

7) Save at least 10% of my annual salary

I honestly have no idea where all of my money goes…

8)  Rent out the studio condo

Too bad this doesn’t help alleviate my “i-don’t-know-where-all-my-money-goes” problem…

9) Finish reading DaVinci’s code

I don’t even know where my book went…

10) Read Super Freakonomics

I started it! I’m up to chapter 4! …or 5…

 

OKAY! So for 2012, my resolutions are:

1) Lose 5 pounds

2) Save at least 10% of my annual salary

3) Clean out my room (i.e., throw out old  and irrelevant notes, clothes i’ll never wear again, random crap i don’t need…)

4) re-format my desktop (i’ve been meaning to do it…for ages…but I have too much to back up so I’ve been reluctant to)

5) Finish watching Sunshine Happiness, Drunken to Love You, and all those other taiwanese dramas i’ve begun but haven’t had time to finish…

6) Pass my accounting course with at least an A- (yeah, my standards have gone down..HAHA)

7) Figure out how CPA prep and exam reimbursements work

8) Record more songs! I’ve missed singing…

9) Manage my time better so I have more time to do my own stuff!

10) Go on a vacation! I think I deserve one!

11) Cook/bake more!
