4. Lose weight.
5. Buy 5 books a month.

7. Write.
8. Get more time to myself.

Anyone who has a problem with making TEN goals, think about this! My teacher once asked us if we could pick out 35 things at a mall if he'd pay for them. You can, right? So, given EVERYTHING in the universe and all the time you can get, rather than just being limited to items in a mall, you should be able to come up with WAY more.

Sorry, that's what this reminded me of. xD

1. Go to Korea for a year next year and see if I like it there enough to teach.
2. Finished Nevestory Academy and PUBLISH IT!!!!!
3. Learn a bit more about poems, because they are hecka fun to write!
4. Get someone to take pictures of me in a flow-y dress on a beach in the summer {oh, memories}.
5. Write more short stories. All those famous authors had little short stories for their spare time.
6. Get a Canon Rebel for Korea. Heck yes.
7. Algeria; Summer 2011.
8. Learn to sight-read music so I can be a leader in choir and a better bet for solos. ;D
9. Get in shape to ballet dance again. -sadface-
10. Learn to handle the serious/genuine side of myself with more grace and LEARN TO TAKE COMPLIMENTS~

And as for how far this tale will go…
Well, even the cat doesn’t know.

Mine are similar! I plan to post 2 chapters a month on YWS.
And I want to get into extension maths this year, because my sister did, and I want to be smart!
