2010 New Years Resolutions

Posted by Kelsbells on January 1, 2010 in New Years Resolutions |

It’s that time again…to write my list of 10 things to achieve during the year. So, here goes.

Apply for the Queensland Police Service
Move into my own place
Learn to surf (rolled over from the 2009 list I didn’t complete)
Reach at least a level B in the Beep Test (rolled over from 2009 list, slightly modified from the 2.4km run in order to fit the requirements for applying for the Queensland Police Service)
Go skydiving (rolled over from the 2009 list I didn’t complete)
Get my senior first aid certificate
Go kayaking
Learn to play one song on my guitar
Blog at least 4 times a month over the course of the entire year
Lost a further 10% of my body weight, and keep it off.

50% of those are goals that are designed to enhance my future. Getting my senior first aid certificate, losing weight, and reaching at least a B level in the beep test will permit me to achieve the first goal – applying for the QLD police service. Moving into our own place is extremely important, I’m ready to get out of our current living situation. It’s time for Mat and I to really move on with the rest of our lives, and by him proposing to me at the end of last year really proved that he’s ready too. I would expect we’ll be renting; if I get accepted into the police service it will require 6 – 7 months in Brisbane, followed by a relocation anywhere around the state depending on where I am stationed. There’s no way that we will be anywhere for long enough to really think about buying anywhere, not to mention our financial situation would prevent it anyway. We’ve got a wedding to save for now!

Of course, the year can’t ALL be serious, so I had to throw in the kayaking and guitar ones. The skydiving and learning to surf goals are rolled over from last year, and will remain on the list until I achieve it. I refuse to give up.

2010 is the start of a new decade, and a new beginning for me. This year I will change from a floating, uncommitted, dependant child, into a driven and ambitious woman. 2010 will be my year. Time to get cracking.
