Don't worry, I have a full New Years Resolutions and 2018 Goals post on its way, but first I thought I would share my January goals with you.
Goal Update - December Goals
1) Finish my Christmas shopping. I'm so glad that I can say that I finished it not only before I headed home to the States, but actually a week ahead of my flight. It took so much stress off of me this month. I'm always starting my shopping in October from now on!
2) Have my essays at least outlined before I go home. I will readily admit that I failed miserably at this. I did have all of my sources found and some of them read before leaving London, but I was nowhere near as far along as I'd hoped.
3) Finish two more books. I've actually read five books in the month of December, surpassing my yearly reading goal of 20 books (I'm up to 23!). It's possibly I might even sneak a sixth in within the next couple of days.
4) Go to an exercise class. Alright, I failed on this one as well. Which means I didn't go to one in all of 2017...this sounds like a goal to add straight onto my 2018 list. However, I did go to the gym to do weight lifting and cardio several times this month before heading home.
January Goals
1) Get back into going to the gym. I haven't been to the gym since I got back to the States and I need to get back into the swing of it here where I can go to my family's country club gym. That way I'm ready when I return to London mid-January!
2) Finish my essays. This isn't so much a goal as a necessity. I turned in my first essay today so that's two to go in early January before their due dates.
3) Write at least eight blog posts. This is a fairly low goal as it's only two a week and with so much New Year content, it would be easier to write even more. However, I've kind of fallen out of writing since coming home for Christmas so I need to get back to it.
4) Find a great outfit for my first day of my internship. I start my dream internship at the end of January (keep an eye out for a life update coming soon!) and I want to make sure that I have a great outfit planned that makes me feel super confident on my first day.
