i will not recap how great this year has been.

or how many great things happened this year. or didn't happen. or things i started and finished in 3 weeks.

or how many awesome people i have met.

instead i am going to tell you how AWESOME 2012 is going to be.

my new year's resolution is:

make 2012 amazing.

plain and simple eh?

you know how i am going to do it?

i like to set goals i know i am obtain. and since i am already awesome it will be easy. i just need to make sure to STAY awesome.

that means:

planning my trip to greece in 2013. and save.
finish decorating my apartment. [no chelsea that does not mean finished that chair]
visit my friends. or have them come here.
