Early New Year's Resolutions

I suppose I shouldn't titled them "Resolutions" so much as hopes. But here goes...

1. For both Master and I to become more financially secure. I need to find a job for the winter semester and then the summer months. Master is hoping to move to Michigan soon, so he will need to find jobs here as well, though he is much more stable now than when they first moved into their apartment. Which makes me relieved and happy.

2. I had hoped to finish my first novel by the end of the year, but it's not going to happen. When my exams are finished, I'll give it more effort, but it's definitely not going to be done by the end of the year. So for the coming year, my hope/resolution is to have it finished AND edited by next December. That way I can start sending out query letters and hopefully find a publisher.

3. I very much hope to gather some real life experience, more than a session or two. I'd like to find a group around school that meets more than once a month so I could find real life friends in the lifestyle. Master and I are making plans to meet, but I'd like to visit them long term through the summer. Maybe a week. Kind of like a trial run for the moving in thing. A week isn't long, but it would give me a feel for how life would change.

4. To pass every class I take. I know I've failed Bio this semester as well as American Lit, so the plan is to pass Winter semester with great grades, and extend that into next Fall as well. I want to be able to say that I put 200% effort into my course work, instead of the 70% or so I gave this semester due to lack of motivation (aka depression).

There may be more to come later, but those are the pressing ones, the most important.

Appartengo a Lupo. <3
