2013. Another year of travelling, hiking, Combat. A move to Bilbao. A great loss of my golden retriever, Fallon Fey. A new dog, a moody German Shepherd named Tango. I finished the second novel and edited it and the first novel. Two failed crushes, but I'm back in the scene with crush number three that seems to be going somewhere!
I miss my old school, and I like the new school. However, I know this part of my life is soon ending.
Goals accomplished: Finished the novel and edited them. Anxiety is being worked on. I'm not there yet, but I will be. I read a book in catalan, tried Body Pump, completed Couch to 5K, even though I am back to being unable to run 10 centimetres *sigh*, organized iTunes and obtained my B1 certificate in Catalán. I made it to 7/12 provinces I haven't been to. I gave up Starbucks, but then again, Bilbao doesn't have the 'Bucks. Back into films. What goals do I have for 2014?
1. Come out to my mom. It has to be done. Life free of lies and a meaningful relationship.
2. Submit my first two novels for publication, and hopefully get to 75% finished with novel 3.
3. Get back down to 150 pounds or 68Kg and develop muscle.
4. Learn to cook and eat healthily. No sweets except for Mondays, and pintxos only once a week.
5. Snowboard. Again, still haven't done this!
6. Learn to surf and kayak.
7. Develop a social circle.
8. Work toward finding a permanent job and figuring out grad school.
9. Camino de Santiago!
10. Continue working to fight depression and anxiety.
11. Be able to afford a studio and a golden 'triever dog.
