Christmas Break Goals, revisited
I know these posts are never that fun to read, but I’m worried that I’m going to get out of the habit of blogging. I was on track through the whole breakup process. I can quit now that life’s awesome! (It’ll probably get not-so-awesome again.)

So let’s see how I did:
1. I will read – a lot! I did! I read parts of the The Best American Non-Required Reading 2011, edited by Dave Eggers; I’m Not the New Me by Wendy McClure; I’m Not Myself These Days by Josh Kilmer-Purcell; and I spent hours on McSweeney’s, reading columns.
2. I will write at least three poems and one piece of creative nonfiction. I didn’t do great with this one. I ended up writing a 2,500 word creative nonfiction piece and one poem about hipsters. I also spent much time editing a CNF piece for a writing contest.
3. I will stop slouching. I did this really well for most of break! Then I failed again. As I write this I’m sitting up straight!
4. I will job shadow a British fellow. I did! So fun.
5. I will update my website. I did. I’m not in love with that site yet either. It’s an improvement though, I believe.
