report card of my 23rd year

Last year I made a list of 23 things I wanted to do before I turned 24.  My 24th birthday has already come and gone so here is my annual report card:
1. Scrapbook my London experience: F- This didn't happen.  I didn't even consider making this happen.
2. Graduate from BYU: A!!  So happy!  I even have my pocket sized diploma already!
3. Complete an internship: A Yep, this one was easy!
4. Get a full time job: C So this is sort of done... I have a full time job set up for the summer.
5. Go to Washington D.C.: A HOlla!!  So fun.  DC was simply wonderful and I cant wait to go back again someday!
6. Visit somewhere I've never been: A++ Maui, Hawaii, Washington DC, Charlottesville VA, Jacksonville FL, Houston TX, San Antonio TX... I kicked trash with travelling this year!
7. Get a credit card: F
8. Go to the temple at least once each month: A I totally killed this one.  I went more often than once a month and it was marvellous!  I have a stronger testimony of the temple
9. Do something that scares me:  B  I did some things that scare me, but I had to think of them.  There wasn't really one huge thing, so I gave myself a B.
10. Move out of my parent's house: Hahahahaha F
11. Finish my quilt (or at least start it): B- I worked on both of my quilts but neither is finished...
12. Work on Family History: F
13. Blog once a week: F. I need to aim a little lower this time around.
14. Visit Alyson and Kenny in Florida: A
15. Visit Nick and Amanda in Virginia: A
16. Visit a national park: A (I forgot until this morning that I accomplished this while I was in Hawaii!  I went to Haleakala National Park.)
17. Take the GRE: F (This may be on this year's list though...)
18. Fall in love with a person, place, or hobby: C+
19. Become a runner: B+.
20. Be better at staying in touch with friends: C
21. Accomplish all 12 of my new year's resolutions: D (Since I didn't even make any after March...)
22. Forgive: A.  I definitely improved on this, but this will be a lifelong goal for sure!
23. Visit campus with my parents and have them tell me stories from when they were in college (this counts as family history, right?) F

Goals Goals Goals

Instead of making year-long goals I decided to do a goal each month.  I stole this idea from the amazing Anna who did the same thing last year.  I just love the idea of doing something for 30 days as opposed to 365 days.  January's goal was to keep my eyes closed during prayers.  All prayers, personal or public.  It was a little hard because I had gotten so out of the habit, but it was worth it.  It's something that I'm going to continue to work on.

February's goal relates to school.  My goal is to spend 1 hour outside of class at least three days a week on campus studying.  This has already proved to be more difficult that January's goal.  I love my naps, and with my crazy schedule with school this semester it's going to be rough, but I need it.  Wish me luck!
