My 2016 goals

Hey there!

2016 has been crazy so far but not just the bad "I can't keep up with anything and I'm watching time fly by without getting anything done" kind of crazy. No, 2016 has also been the "oh my god, this year is going to be so awesome and I have planned so many amazing things already" kind of crazy. The latter excites me most obviously. 

So let's do a kind of in depth view of "my 2016".
My 2016, my 2016 is going to be this amazing year full of awesome days, amazing people, spontaneous trips and cool surprises. 

My 2016 goals:
School goals:
○ Passing the Crossing borders module (a mandatory module if you want to go on an internship abroad).
○ Finally passing my practical test.
○ Proceeding to the third year of my nursing course.
●Finishing and passing my current internship. 
○ Starting an internship in a hospital. 

Life goals:
○ Go on one or more holidays with friends.
○ Buy a new camera and do more photographing. 
○ Turn flipping TWENTY......
○ Actually go ice skating for a change. 
○ Book a surprise me trip!
○ Say yes to (social) activities more often. 
○ Watch more movies from my movie list.
○ Catch up with all the series I'm behind on and start watching some new ones.
○ Get my HBa1c back on 53. (diabetes goal)

Blog goals:
○ Rewrite and redesign Cat Tales.
○ Write more book reviews AND read more books.
○ Write more Diabetes related blogposts. 
○ Write some more nerdy blogposts.

Other goals:

To be continued.....

So far this is how I want my 2016 to be like. This year I want to do even more amazing things than in 2015 which definitely is a challenge I want to live up to. I know 2015 set the bar pretty high yet I truly believe I can succeed. 
2016 I am finally ready for you and I'm going to make you my best year yet. New goals to achieve, new memories to make and new adventures to go on. 2016 BRING IT ON!

What a start.

Hi there!

WELCOME TO 2016!!! The year that all your dreams may come true. The year you will find out that guy you've been having a crush on for ages has a crush on you too. But most of all the year that February has 29 days again!! I'm not too sure about the first two though so I would like to apologise in advance if neither of them happens. 

So far 2016 is going so fast it's unreal. In the two weeks that are 2016 I barely got a chance to sit down, take a moment and just relax. My "good times in 2015" jar remains full and untouched in my windowsill and I haven't been able to write down my goals for 2016 yet either. So yeah this year is kind of driving me crazy already. But hey that's college/adult life I guess...

As I kind of mentioned in my last blogpost I spent New Years Eve in Disneyland which was absolutely incredible! Even at the age of 19 I loved every minute of it! I was completely mesmerized by the magical atmosphere, the beautiful parade, the amazing show on New Years Eve. I might have even shed a tear here and there. One of my favourite Disney moments however was meeting Spiderman. He was so nice and kind and I nearly cried (again). Disneyland just turned me into an emotional wreck. 

On January 2nd I came home from the Disneyland trip and there was like just enough time to empty my suitcase before January 4th came knocking at my door. That day it was time for me to return to my internship. Now I really enjoy being at my internship and I'm really having a great time there but right now it's all a bit much. I work at my internship for four days a week, then there is one day I have to go to school, on Saturday I have to work at my part-time job which means that all the socializing has to happen on Sundays. To top all the madness half of my family has their birthday in January, I have to finish two assignments for school and of course I've become sort of sick. Not in the 'you have to stay in bed because you feel terrible' way, NO that would just be way too easy. I'm experiencing the 'headache combined with a terrible cold but in a way that you can still go to work and do everything you're supposed to do whilst holding tissue because of all the sneezing' kind of sick. So yeah that really isn't very helpful. 

I can't wait until the second week of February when I finally have a week off. A week to (hopefully) just relax, sit down and take a few deep breaths. A week to catch up on all the series I've not been able to watch, a week to finally look back on all the good times of 2015 that are still stuffed inside that beautiful jar of mine but also a week to finally write down my 2016 goals.

2016, what a start! I can't help but wonder how many things you can possibly have in store for me and what a crazy year you will be!

I hope your 2016 has been less of a mess and you're not ill or kind of ill and that you are just enjoying this new year!

Love you lots!
