2010, You've Been Good to Me

I'm not a big list-maker, which is probably one of the big reasons I'm not particularly organized. Even so, I thought I would throw together a little personal list of 2010 events if for no other reason than to convince myself I accomplished a few things this year! Here goes..

This year I:

Started this blog!

Took a course on differential equations - just for fun

Watched in horror as the hard drive on my computer died, losing LOTS of information

Received my Master's degree, despite previous event :)

Became an avid coffee/tea drinker

Re-discovered crafting, drawing and otherwise creating during the month I was unemployed post-graduation

Learned I could be both an analytical AND creative person

Landed my first "real" job

Went to New York City for the first time. Saw three Broadway shows

Opened my Etsy shop, Pretty Ingrid

Invested in a dutch oven (a major event if you love bread as much as I do)

Took my first yoga and Zumba classes (loved them both)

Hosted Thanksgiving dinner for the first time

Used Photoshop for the first time (Yikes!)

**Endlessly pondered future career path, discovering that what I really WANT to be doing has little to do with what I'm "trained" to do (see "Master's degree"). A scary but pretty freeing realization; this is the most important item on the list.

Yes, I think 2010 has been pretty good to me. I will be a bit sad to see it go, but I think 2011 is going to bring with it even more exciting times.

The image above is a small peak at a little project I am working on. I'm hoping to share more in the next month or so. Stay tuned!
