2012 Resolutions

So now that I've given myself and everyone a little kick in the ass with the pep talk below here are my 2012 goals:

1. Graduate from Graduate School (without becoming a stressed-out crazy person no one wants to be around). This one is a bit of a no brainer, I will be walking in Commencement come May, but guys, working full time and going to grad school is. so. hard. My job is stressful. I work as a Care Coordinator (AKA admissions counselor) at a Residential Treatment Center (Google it if you don't know what that is). The two literally suck the life and money right out of you. So dear friends, please understand that I am not purposely alienating myself from you because I cannot go out to the bar every Saturday night like I use to, I'm just really really tired and have about 107 more pages to read in my Research Methods text. Dear J, please don't break up with me when I get super stressed and snap when you ask what movie I'd like to watch tonight. I don't mean it, and just tell me to relax. Dear Mom & Dad, please don't kick me out of the house when I become so miserable and sleep deprived between weeks 6 and 11 of the quarter. I will become your loving daughter once more when the quarter ends. That being said, I only have 5 more months of classes!!! aldkfja;dslkfj! The thought of this makes me so happy I could almost cry. I will have my thesis paper left to write after that, but psh, not thinking about that yet. 
2. Lose the damn weight. My goal is to lose 40 lbs this year. But not just lose the weight, but to gain stress coping skills through exercise. More to come on this subject.
3. Keep up with this blog. But that sort of goes hand-in-hand with the above goal. This is a weight loss/what ever the hell I want to talk about blog after all. I know, kinda hard to tell with the absence of weight loss huh?
4. See more of the US of A. This may be a bit far reaching, depending on if I can get the time off from work, but J and I are planning a cross-country road trip for 2012. I am ridiculously excited about this!
