You're Killin Me Smalls
The mostly boring life of a kindergarten teacher in NYC who watches too much tv and tries to be funny.

2012 Goals

Jumping on the “Goal Not Resolution” Bandwagon.  Not that I ever made resolutions before but that’s ok.

1.  Watch less tv.  Which clearly is not being met right now as I am watching (my first ever) episode of the Kardashians.  Only a few more hours of vacation left so I’m letting it slide.

2.  Go grocery shopping/cook/eat vegetables.  I kind of gave up on cooking in October - December because I’ve been working so much.  I think my new strategy is to order 2 ready made meals from Fresh Direct and then some regular groceries so I’m not constantly going to Seamless Web and spending $15 every night on food.

3. Be active.  Which I think means join a gym and actually go 3 times a week.  Maybe taking classes would be easier.  Clearly the 5 stories I walk everyday to get into my apartment is not doing enough.

4.  Be more proactive in my job.  Look for professional development that will make me a better teacher!  Volunteer whenever I can!  Procrastinate less.  (I can’t say I’m going to stop altogether…this is who I’ve been my entire life!)

5.  STOP COMPLAINING!  Seriously.  I am extremely negative about my job.  It really is not that bad.  I am with wonderful children and supportive coworkers. I can do it!

6.  Stop gossiping.  This kind of bit me in the ass a few weeks ago.  Lesson learned!  Plus I’m almost 27 years old.  I should know better.

7.  Post more.  I read everyone’s posts everyday.  I love the community that has been created especially with the educators.  I want to join in more!

8.  Go to church at least once a month.  I’m a lapsed Catholic.

Since I never was one for resolutions I don’t think a big long list would be very wise.  Some of these already seem pretty lofty to me but maybe since they’re here you all can check up on me!
