It's Time....

for a new post!

I'm so tired of seeing that stupid blog about how terrible Tron was. I have nothing really to say at the moment but I felt the need to post something else to keep things moving. :-p

In other news:
I was reading back a year ago to this post I made about my resolutions and goals for the year 2010. I am happy to report that most of my goals I accomplished. However, there are some that haven't materialized yet, namely the running another half marathon thing. My knees have given me too much trouble lately, and between Taekwondo a few nights a week and bowling and studying, I just haven't had the time to devote to running. Maybe this year?  Speaking of school, I am glad to report that I have maintained my 4.0 GPA and have actually changed degree plans a few times. After a lot of research, I have finally settled on MBA with healthcare emphasis as the best route for me. Plus it gets me finished faster; I'll graduate at the end of this summer as opposed to next spring!  Another one of my goals last year was to stick with TKD and get to at least red belt, which I have done! In fact, I just tested for my black stripe this past Tuesday. Which means that in about 4 more months, I'll be black belt! Watch out!  Another of my goals was to join a young professional or volunteer group; that hasn't panned out either but its more because of a lack of time than lack of energy. I did join a quilting group though, does that count? And I've been doing a ton of sewing. Check, check, check.

Now its time for new goals and resolutions for 2011. Here are a few that I'll share with you. :-)
  1. Lose 10 lbs by May 1
  2. Achieve black belt status by June
  3. Join a church and attend regularly
  4. Get involved in some way at said church
  5. Graduate in August with a 4.0 GPA
  6. Save more money by bringing my lunch to work every day instead of buying in the cafeteria
  7. Pay off one of my credit cards by August
  8. Have plans in place to visit my brother in Morocco, either this fall or next spring
  9. Celebrate my 30th birthday/NYE in Times Square, NYC
  10. Spend more time with my parents 
There you have it! These among others will be my goals and resolutions for the coming year. Help keep me accountable!


And finally, here are some pictures of me from the tournament that my TKD school put on back in December. I competed in the forms, breaking and sparring competitions. I got 2nd place in forms and breaking......





I beat out 3 black belts for 1st place in Sparring :-)
