Stick to it...

On the last day of the last year I wrote about what I did in 2010 and liked and what I don't want to do or change in 2011. Well, I thought now that we are half through it, I thought it was a great idea to look back if I did what I wanted to do or changed some things.

I wrote that I hopefully get to travel and will start a job. Unfortunately I didn't get to travel as much as I liked so far. So far I have just visited Neustadt(near the city where I study) and Stuttgart with a friend. This is due part to my operation in March and the recovery that took like for ever. Somehow I lost track of finding a job. I really do have respect for all the people who study and work at the same time. Most of the time I would not know how to coordinate those two things and that is why I didn't really looked for a job.

I also wanted to concentrate more on the really important stuff (e.g at Uni)! And I am really proud of myself that I did that. I really concentrated on doing all the necessary things for uni right away and started learning in advance for my big exam. Unfortunately I still don't know how this went and if I will pass with a good grade. I'll keep my fingers crossed...

Things I wanted to do less in 2011 was to be persuaded by others, don't fight with others too much and spending less money for unimportant stuff! I think I can say, that I stick to two of the listed things. Last year it felt for me like I did a lot of things to please others even though I wasn't so comfortable with the decision. This year however I listened more to myself and what I wanted. And so far so good. I have stuck to it and I am very happy with it. Of course it also meant, that I choose the people that surround me and benefit me. I am not a selfish person, but sometimes you have to go with your guts and it makes you feel good again. And that is he important thing and people who are just there to when they need you are not really friends. I don't know if I fought less with people. I thought I did, but somehow I don't get rid of the feeling that I somehow have. Or in other words: I somehow pissed them off. At least that's my feeling and we will see if I was right or not. The last part of what I wanted to do less is spending too much money for unimportant stuff. I am pretty sure I did that most of the time. Of course I bought some things I didn't necessarily needed but that's life and I didn't bought any crap and that's good. ;)

So far I think I did pretty good and I hope I will stick to it the rest of the year...
