Step by Step

...I'm getting closer to my goals.

Usually I write down my resolutions on New Year's Eve and forget all about them. A common situation, nee? Well, not this time! I believe the Year of Snake will bring a lot of good changes for me, but only if I work hard.

So what was on my Resolution List?
1. Make friends
I have nothing to brag about  T____T   But I tried! First of all, I wanted to find people who love the same stuff as I do. Kpop, of course! Forums and social networks are not enough for me, so I posted an add on craigslist (lame) trying to find somebody from my area (Charlotte, anyone?). I was looking for E.L.F.s in particular, but I guess either there are no SuJu fans around here or they are too cool for craigslist))))))) I got just one reply. From I guy who likes Rolling Stones. SERIOUSLY, people don't know how to read!
Also, I signed in on a Russian Super Junior forum, hope I can contribute to the fanbase by translating tv shows and articles and tomodachi o tsukuru, of course.

2. Learn how to dance hip hop (popping)
I don't have money to pay for dance lessons, so I decided to learn some Kpop moves haha. I'm trying to learn Wonder Girl's "Like This" (got through with the chorus and bridge parts so far). My next goal is to learn Miss A's "Breath":

(waaa~ it looks so difficult)

3. Get down to 53 kg
I'm 55.6 kg now. That's 6.4 kg (14 lbs!) less than my last year's weight. And I didn't work out since fall; ate sweets and all that! Well, I cut down my evening munching. Another 2.6 by summer and I'll be super happy!

4. Keep on learning Japanese and Korean (as well as brush up on my Spanish)
Got "Integrated Korean. Beginning 1" from the library. Never opened it...
But hey! I watch Korean shows and drama every other day! (there is still hope for me)

5. Open a store in Etsy
[not yet]

6. Keep on looking for translating/tutoring jobs
Yeeeey~ I've got a tutoring job! It's only once or twice a week, but I'm super happy! 
I used to believe that I would hate being a teacher (in a classroom full of uncontrollable kids), but I really enjoy teaching responsible adults. I should bring my resume to Berlitz or some other language school. Who knows, maybe my dream will come true and I won't have to go back to college for another degree.

7. Finally get an American Driver's License
Maybe one day, when we fix the car...

8. Blog more often
[FAIL]

9. Become more social

Oh well, I have A LOT to work on...
