Five Goals for 2011

I've never been one to make New Years' Resolutions, but there are several things that I hope will happen during the next year.

1. GET A REAL JOB - Self-explanatory, really.  I need a job in my field and with a proper salary, not a part-time retail position.
2. Go on a Road Trip - I love to travel, and there's nothing more fun than piling friends into a car and driving somewhere.  The only problem is coordinating schedules, so we haven't done one in nearly two years.
3. Expand My Cultural Horizons - I missed a lot of cool exhibits and plays when I was living in Carrollton because I could never get home on the right weekends.  Birmingham has a lot of fancy-pants cultural experiences, from art and orchestras to Broadway shows and museums, and I need to take more advantage of them.
4. Get My Own Apartment - Really, this goes hand-in-hand with getting a real job because I can't afford it until I earn a decent salary.  Living with my parents is convenient for many reasons, but I really miss having my own place like I did in graduate school.
5. Study the Bible More - My only real resolution, since everything else is an event and not a promise to change my daily routine.  However, now that I'm finished with school and its required assignments, I can no longer hide behind the excuse that "I never have time."  And what better time to start than on January 1, right?
