New Year New Me!

So here it is: the standard New Year's post. 2012 was a really great year for me, full of transitions, opportunity, and positive change. I can only imagine what 2013 will have in store!

Big life events in 2012 (in no real order):

  • First year not spent in school EVER
  • First full year spent in Seattle since 2007
  • Met Greg, started dating Greg
  • Graduation ceremony with the class of 2012
  • Got a big girl job in February - three subsequent raises within the next 4 months (Inkfarm)
  • Got a better big girl job in December (Pure Home)
  • Moved in with Greg in November
  • Spent Christmas with Greg's family in Texas
  • Went to my first burner community event, Critical Massive, in July
  • Went skydiving in October
  • Shot my first pistol/went to the shooting range for the first time in November
  • Changed hair style four times - perm, shoulder cut, attempted (not) pixie, above-the-ears short
  • Ran first 5K, St Patrick's Day run where everyone else except my mom did not wake up in time for
  • Was a zombie/ran the zombie 5K 
  • Started hooping
  • Got a sweet ass LED hoop for Christmas
  • Interned for six months at Seattle Met Magazine 
  • Got my first tattoo in November
  • Decided to apply for grad school at UW (I really need to finish that application...)
  • Turned 22
Resolutions for 2013:
  • Have a bitchin' bod for Burning Man barring burdensome bodily harm
  • Practice hooping more - get to a decent level of adequacy to maybe perform at BM and maybe invest in a fire hoop
  • Be healthier - lift more, run more, walk more, eat better
  • Brush up and reinforce Spanish and Chinese (Mandarin mainly, but Cantonese is possible)
  • Go back to school! If I am accepted anyways
  • Shoot more pictures
Happy New Year everyone!
