Resolutions... how are you doing?

My life is at an odd place right now.  I'm helping out with a musical which I really love to do.  The show is in December.  I don't have another job, and I don't want to look for a permanent job until I'm capable of moving somewhere else.  So, after musical I'll be looking for a more permanent job, until then it'll be some odd jobs and volunteering.
 The past few months have been hard, but I'm staying positive and trying to boost skills that I feel I haven't utilized in a while like writing, song writing, video editing, and piano skills.  To also help with keeping my mind focused I wanted to update the statuses of my 25 resolutions I set for myself, and here we go:

1.   April Tough Mudder (Already planned....)
Went through with it.  Survived.  Did not do every obstacle, but I completed all 12+ miles when I wanted to quit around mile 5.
2.   In prep for Tough Mudder - get into shape, so I don't die during the Tough Mudder.
I could slow job a 5K which I could never do before and I survived the TM so, win!
3.   Read all books in the Hunger Game series (shouldn't be too hard to do.)
Did it.  Loved it!
4.   Finish "The Three Musketeers"
Not sure this will happen... I just started Game of Thrones.
5.   Film at least one movie with friends
Could possibly happen... just hasn't yet.
6.   Visit Marissa again in Disney World
Happened in April!
7.   Feel more confident as a music educator
I thought I did a good job with my students, but my nice and patient demeanor is not for everyone.
8.   Upload at least one video of me singing onto my youtube account
I did it!  And I got to sing at Leakycon because of it!  It was AMAZING!
9.   Attempt to go on more trips/day trips than last year
Doing a pretty good job on this one.  Chicago/Leakycon, TN, Ren Faire again, Harrisburg, New Hope, NYC, Lavallette, Ocean City (NJ)... I think I'm doing good with my trip quota.
10. Maybe start some grad school classes... an idea I've been playing with for a while.
This goal is on hold currently due to my job situation.
11. Maybe get my own apartment if I get a full time position?? >_<
This goal is also on hold for the same reason.  January or February of next year.
12. Write one story/script... short long... as long as it's complete.
I wrote some vignettes, and I am planning on participating in NaNoWriMo this year.
13. See "The Hobbit" (duh)
December!
14. Celebrate some awesome people getting married!
Went to 1 of 2 marriages so far.  I couldn't go to the one which was a bit of a bummer.  However, two of my friends are getting married in October and I can't wait to see them start their new life together!
15. See Sarah again!
Sarah is home this week, and I saw her the past three days.  Last night, we saw Ramin Karimloo in concert!  AMAZING!
16. Visit a state I've never been to before... or at least a place.  I'd love to visit Boston and Chicago this year.  San Francisco would be amazing since my cousin lives there now.  I'd love to go to Comic Con too, but I don't think that'll work out. Especially if I get my own place. Kentucky/Tennessee might happen if Matt and I visit our friends there.
Illinois and Tennessee!
17. Keep in better contact with people. (I think this is on many lists.)
Kind of, sort of?
18. Read "1984" (which has been on my To Do list for years.)
Going to get to it after Game of Thrones.  We'll see how long that takes.
19. See the Daily Show live! :)
Did it in January!  :)
20. Take vitamins everyday (Yay healthy living!)
I've been doing good so far only missed 3-5 days so far this year.
21. Drink more water. (Yay more healthy living!)
Better some days than others.  I've been drinking less soda which is good.
22. Cook more/bake more (I think last year, I baked more than actually cooked.)
Eh... once I get my own place it'll be easier for me to take over the cooking in the household.
23. Stretch more.
More so recently. 
24. Dance and karaoke more
I do dance sometimes.  Haven't karaoked yet this year. :(
25. Create more things (doesn't matter what, as long as I'm creating!)
Songs... vignettes... those count as things.

12 out of 25 goals done, and the year isn't over yet.  Some probably won't get done with year, but they'll happen in the near future.  We'll see what happens in time.

Ciao until next time!
