It's Wine Time and the End of 2018

Oh man... the holidays kicked my butt this year. I feel like Thanksgiving happened and then time ceased to be a concept and now, here we are an hour away from 2019. This year seemed like it was a long year. A lot happened for me: A finished my Master's, moved into my own apartment (for the first time ever), got a promotion at work. I feel sort of like an adult for the first time ever.

But with 2019 on the horizon, it's got me thinking of things I would like to accomplish. Firstly, exercise 3 days a week. My life is super sedentary and I can really start to tell. I just feel physically weak in ways I haven't before, so I want to try and build some of that back. Secondly, reading more often. Since finishing my Master's I've definitely not been reading as much simply because I got to tired of it -- which is not always great when you work in a library. But I want to start reading again and I managed to get about 10 read in 3 months, so I believe! Lastly, I want to start writing again. Original, fanfics, I don't care, I just miss exploring characters and plots and all of it. Writing for fun is liberating in a way that writing for school is strict. Both are good exercises, but I think I need to get comfortable with expressing myself in that way once more.

I also have a day planner so I can start scheduling out time to do things. Literally setting aside time in my weeks for these things. It helps to visualize them and keep some of the burden off my own brain. So yeah, I'm already making plans and trying to flexible to see which will work for me.

Either way, so long 2018. May 2019 be better than this year was.
