New Years Resolutions

I just figured out how to make a line break on here without the tag...ha-ha.

Anyways, happy 2014! I can't think of an accurate way to sum up 2013, because these basic things happened:

-I had an amazing track season: I got 5:52 in the mile run, and 12:34 in the 2-mile run, and also broke 3:00 in the 800-meter, which I'd been trying to do for a long time
-Got a varsity letter in track
-I edited my first book (still not finished, but it's coming soon)
-I moved to Maine from Washington, and along the way went to the following places: Hayward field (Prefontaine's track), the Redwood forest, Sacramento (visited my family), San Francisco, Legoland, certain parts of SoCal (visiting more family), Mojave Desert (Joshua Tree Nat'l Park), Pheonix, Arizona (visiting my grandma), Santa Fe, New Mexico (visiting more family), Taos Pueblo and Sancturio de Chimayo, much of the Midwest (we literally drove straight through in two days up to D.C.), Washington D.C., and finally Brunswick, Maine, my new home.
-Visited the biggest antique shop in Maine (Elmer's Barn in Coopers Mills, Maine)
-Started running with a new cross country team (they're super awesome and great)
-I started a new school. It was honestly a little horrible at first because I didn't know anything or anybody, but it's okay now.
-got second place in yankee candle fundraising (by $2, really?)
-Got fourth place in the last JV race of the XC season (1: still two minutes behind my PR, but it was a season's best 2: I'm having a lot of trouble with running lately...my mom thinks I have a mental block, and she's probably right)
-Reached the one-year anniversary with my boyfriend (September 9th) :)
-Went to New York two times: once in late August, for my birthday, and once in late December for my sister's birthday
-Discovered I wanted to live in New York and go to college there
-Started writing a graphic novel with one of my friends
-Started my first indoor track season
-Finished my second NaNoWriMo novel (you can read about it on my writing blog, www.covertocover-em.blogspot.com
-Got my first-ever F on a test (1: It was an honors chemistry test 2: not a good thing, but definitely worth making note of)
-Got my first-ever B on a chemistry test (it was on ions)
-Spent New Year's Eve with my favorite people (my XC team)

And that's my 2013 for you! It was a good year and I learned a lot and had a lot of fun besides all of the moving jitters, you know?

I do have a few New Year's Resolutions, most of which I will probably make up on the spot.

-Self-publish The Ignorance of Me, Daphne Willowston
-Make a fan page for my writing
-Eat healthier
-Ace or B all my midterms and finals (the hard ones will be chemistry and Algebra II)
-Reach my PRs again in the mile, 2-mile, and 800-meter (listed above)
-Visit Washington at least twice
-Write a short story
-Read 100 books
-Be more social
-Let a lot of people read my stories
-Keep playing the cello
-Keep dreaming
-Be more kind to others
-Try new things

Happy New Year, readers! :)
