Like most people, my 2010 New Year's resolutions went by the wayside somewhere along the way. But 2011 is going to be my year to:
1) Run a marathon - the whole trying to have a baby (and failing) thing kind of got in the way last year, but I have a plan (and a blog so you all can keep me honest; social accountability goes a long way)
2) Meditate - I have had this same resolution for several years now and I actually did okay with this one in 2010, but my goal is 20 min 2x day; I'm going to start slow this time. I think I've expected too much in year's past, but I've learned my lesson.
3) Get an agent or self-publish - I've written 2 romances and 1 YA; I've started the last of my trilogy of romantic comedies already. So if I can't get an agent for one of those books by the end of the year, I'm going to look into self-publishing. Keep your fingers crossed that I get an agent soon! :)
4) Embrace technology - as my friends know and my students will tell you, technology and I have not always been the best of friends. I don't facebook, tweet, or blog (until now) and if I can get through an entire class period without something going wrong techno wise (clickers don't work, PowerPoint crashes, computer freezes, DVD won't play, etc.), it's a miracle. This is actually a new resolution this year. So I'm blogging, I'm going to set up a Facebook account, and try tweeting in the classroom. Wish me luck that nothing blows up in the process. :)
If you have any advice for any of these goals, please chime in. Thanks for following!
