How I failed at life in 2013

2013

When I look at my list of goals for 2013 I want to crawl in a hole and die. According to this list I did nothing! I’m still not a famous writer and I still don’t have rock hard abs. This sucks so much.

BLAAAAHHHHHHHH.

Because everyone loves a train wreck, le’ts review 2013 with this over the top list of goals, shall we?

2013 Goals:

* Get in to Grad School:

Ok. I did do this one. After months of cursing out the GMAT. You can actually read about my first class A here. So far so good!

* Complete 4 classes for my Master’s (MS in Market Analytics):

I did one class. I am signed up for 2 starting January 9th. Hopefully I can survive 2 at a time to move things along. FAIL.

* Do a unique/fun presentation:

Kinda? I did a yearly presentation that was required, but I did put a few twists in it. I will consider this one half done.

* Write 28 blog posts in 2013:

I wrote 17 this year including this post. That comes out to only 1.4 a month. FAIL. 

* Grow readership for www.connieoreyes.com:

Hi mom? Why have you stopped reading? Was it something I said? FAIL.

* Give less awkward hugs:

Well there’s no one to hug because no one is reading this blog.

* Read at 3 different reading series:

I read at one. That counts as 1/3 of a point. FAIL.

* Write book:

I am up to chapter 4. Do they make 4 chapter books? FAIL.

* Write the first five chapters by May:

HAHAHAHAHAHA. *grabs beer out of fridge to cry into*

* Get book published:

-_-

* Do 25 crunches every day this year. (Going to use this to start the day and as a reminder for this list of goals.):

Okay this list is getting stupid now.

*  Run Illinois half marathon in April. (Joined the gym!):

Quit gym. Quit walking. Currently eating Christmas cookies.

* Run fun races (Color Run, Zombie Run, Cinco de Miler, Turkey, Santa, etc.):

I did it! I ran the Ditka Dash in December! Woo! *steps off ledge*

* Learn to swim 1 mile

*drowns self*

* Get to goal weight

*floats to top because did not reach goal weight*

* Better eye contact o_O

*_*

* Only go to Starbucks twice a month

Dumb.

* Only buy lunch at work twice a month

Dumber.

* Save $$$

Dumbest.

2014 Goals will be written tomorrow. I think I will keep my expectations a bit lower by starting with things like “breathing” and “watching TV.” 
 
Happy New Year! See you in 2014!

    I’m debating adding “drink more” to my list of 2014 goals.

    You grew your readership by adding me. It is amazing what a reunion at a wedding can do.
