    Default How was your January?

    So the month is coming to a close, I figured we could share how 2016 is treating us so far. Bonus points if you want to make goals for next month!

    January stuff
    Here's some of my successes:
    -Started a savings plan
    -Kept 100% average this month
    -Got a study buddy and maybe potential friend
    -Got a number to call to (hopefully) help with my anxiety stuff
    -Wrote 9 articles
    -Started to learn to drive manual transmission again
    -Played my first horror game


    February goals
    Goals for February:
    -See what we can do about making an on campus mental health support group
    -Call that number for my anxiety and make an appointment
    -Have a definitive plan about my Michael visit in March
    -Try to keep my grades in the 90% and above
    -Continue to learn to drive manual
    -Get back to my weight loss goals
    -Continue the savings plan

    Got four new subscribers and a girlfriend. I'd say January was pretty great.

    January:
    • Got a lot more organized. WITH STICKERS!
    • Bought a 3DS game. Haven't actually bought a 3DS game in ages, my 3DS had dust on it.
    • Got better at running, also got sick and haven't ran in a week in a half
    • Hit a savings goal! Woo!


    Feb Goals:

    • MORE running
    • MORE stickers and organizing!
    • Hit my next Savings goal! Woo!
    • Get more chapters done in Novel 3
    • Finish Novel 1 (maybe)
    • Stop thinking about working on Novel 2 and 4-6 while not finished with others. Seriously, finish one first, Kaycee.
    • Get Garden planned and plotted out
    • YAY WALKING DEAD!
    • Read more books, damnit. You're 3 behind now.


    I think it's going good so far.

    I painted in art therapy, I played Ukes and Percussion in Music Therapy

    I sang like her
    I danced like her

    In the privacy of my own cocoon.

    I swooned like her when he compared me to and now we are this

    So now January is nearly over, its no longer tempting fate to say that January has been and

    Saving up has been pretty successful this month! That's great, because usually this time of year I'm flat broke due to lack of business. Nothing else to add here, nothing exciting is happening until may. Though, I am debating making a weekend trip to NY, NY to see my bestie. Haven't made up my mind but flights are cheap right now..

    Cons:
    • A lot of stress at work. Was eventually let go.
    • Before that happened, my bank account was already not having a super great time in recovering from December/Christmas.
    • I get the winter sads and they aren't fun.
    • Bombed on stage and dealt with it really poorly.
    • Suffered from a lot of writer's/creative block.
    • Had some generally unpleasant/awkward situations with the person I am seeing that I would have liked to have avoided but they were unavoidable.


    Pros:
    • Have not had a breakdown about losing my job.
    • Met a lot of new people. Made a smurf ton of new friends and meeting a bunch of wonderful people.
    • Am coming into my own writing and feeling good about it.
    • Learned how to finally make good green Thai Curry #killingit
    • Saw Rhea Butcher and Cameron Esposito live again and
    • Have been having a lot of smurfing fun on fb with a group of good peeps, some of which are from here.
    • Have been approached to be in a ton of creative projects with friends such as lining up my first comedy show, two different podcasts, writing for a satire site, poster commissions, dual-ran comedy twitter personas, and voice acting.
    • Feeling super creative lately and now I have a lot of time for focus on that.
    • Re-opened my shop (shameless plug https://www.etsy.com/shop/MarvelousDesignCo)
    • And as of a couple of days ago, I have a boyfriend and he is wonderful.


    January was 70% good. I have no goals for February except to not die because smurf goals

    January was great. Probably the only downside is that the weather and it's always dark, but I have very limited control over those things.

    February will be even better because I'm no longer in Dry January and I'm going to a wedding, also it just will be because I've been on an upward curve for 24 years.

    Mine's was trout too. I still have no job. One interview I felt I did the best I ever did and still didn't get it. Life's been pretty sucky for me since I got out of school over a year ago.

    Cons:

    Still no success in finding a job. It's cold. Had one of my best friends from back home admit they've been in love with me for years and, despite me handling that news very well, are now being a dick about stuff.

    Pros:

    Still have enough money to eat/travel. Started posting on here again. Laughed so hard I cried many times. School is going very well. Might be starting a podcast in the near future. Tinder is as fruitful as ever.
