November Goals
1) Visit the UW German Club: There are two German-speaking clubs that meet up in the U-District... one at a greek restaurant on tuesdays and one at Bratz on Wednesdays.
Es wird Zeit, mehr Deutsch-sprachige Leute kennenzulernen!
2) Go to the Gym!!!: Between busy-busy school days, field trips, trivia nights, PLU homework and a particularly nasty case of bronchitis, I haven't gotten to the gym at all, despite it being on my goal list for last month... and the fact I always keep my workout clothes/swimsuit in my car. This month my local gym's class schedule is in my car - sitting on my front seat - to motivate me to get my booty shaking!
Faster, Harder, Stronger. Thanks, Daft Punk!
3) Network!!!: I'm finally going to meet some of the local german teachers at the German Student Conference this weekend... a perfect time to network my bum off! I'll be looking for a permanent placement come this spring (applications, applications!) and need to know where there'll be an opening. Setting up a few coffee dates and swapping ideas is always a good idea too!
Wie geht es Ihnen?
4) Spend time with my grandparents: they're all not doing so very well, so I'd love to spend some quality time with them. I want to make a quiche for my Grammie, and maybe bring her a movie to watch. With my grandma, I'd like to bring her a craft to do together, or have her teach me something new on the sewing machine. Last time she had a ton of recipes to give me, and we had a blast looking through them all and talking about where they came from.
Grand they are, just grand!
5) Focus on myself: I definitely need to do this. I've let it get away from me this last month, and now's the time to turn it around. :o) I need to take time to do what makes me happy and focus on my career and well-being, as opposed to trying to get to a "place" that I think everyone (society) wants me to be at. Will report back on my progress.
It's all about me!
