Part 2: Happy New Year!

Last night a decade ended. Or did it? Some say it isn't until 2011 when this decade is over. Either way, the excitement for this new year excites me, much like every year. Except this year, I didn't have a party, I didn't go out and staying up until midnight was nothing ( I stay up to at least two or three each night).
As the year ended, I found myself wondering exactly what I'd accomplished in 2009. I'd managed to overcome some horrible episodes of anxiety and loneliness. I finished an internship in a field I despised. I lost passion for the said field, but gained passion in another.
So this year, in following with my writing mantra, I'm set out to accomplish these goals:
-put together a book of my poetry
-finish my book I'm writing (look up Grammar Girl's "How to Write Your First Novel" podcast; its inspiring)
- find a new and exciting job
- and of course, weight loss would be awesome

Not really excellent or well-thought out goals, but these are just a few of many.

And a side note: if you haven't and you are a fan, Lady Gaga's The Fame Monster is incredibly different, energetic and excellent. I would suggest listening to it.
