{20 before 21 recap}

So tomorrow is my birthday, and seriously this past year has seemed to FLY by.  No joke.  I also totally SUCKED at posting at this blog, I got into tumblr a little bit more. You can check it out here.

I just wanted to do a little recap of my goals of my year. 

♥ Get a tattoo--didn't happen, I didn't really know what I wanted and didn't want to make that mistake of  getting a tattoo that I didn't love. ♥ Make at least one handmade thing for each family member for Christmas--ehh...didn't happen either..haha!  Work got the best of me! ♥ Do super well in school ♥ Buy a {good} camera--no $ = no camera! ♥ Take plenty of photos--check! ♥ Become more independent--i think I did..haha! ♥ Read at least 100 books that aren't related to schoolwork--I read a lot, I just don't remember how many books.. ♥ Start a 365 photo series, post every single one on flickr--I think this lasted all of 15 days haha! ♥ Learn how to crochet amigurumi--books are so hard to learn by! ♥ Take a photography class--I took a history of photography class that I LOVED so I'm going to count that one! ♥ Get out of debt-no matter how small the amount ♥ Consistently use my vintage film SLR's, my diana, and my instax cameras-mmm...need to work on this more ♥ Transfer to APU--I changed my major, so therefor different school ♥ Be more involved with my church ♥ Get another job to replace In-n-Out, one that I might possibly enjoy--I actually don't mind In-n-Out too much  anymore, plus I'm getting more hours so I can't complain! ♥ Take a ceramics class--Those classes fill up so quickly!! ♥ Learn to sew--kinda lost that drive haha ♥ Write and send handwritten letters to ones I love--sadly didn't do this one, I actually forgot this one ♥ Attend a craft fair--Etsy renegade! ♥ Be sure to appreciate the smaller things in life So 10 out of 20 isn't bad, especially since I forgot about the list halfway through the year! haha! Here's to 21!!  xoxo,  Jess
