The end of the year (aka Sketch 52)

What's this? Things have suddenly gotten busy.  Both in my off time and at work.  So I'm running a little behind on my end of the year post.  But tonight, I'm sitting down with some Yogurtland and finally getting it out here on the blog.

the wrap-up:

• I finished my year working as a lay minister at USC in May.
• I worked at a coffee shop (very part-time)...a first experience.
• I worked as an executive assistant for just over 2.5 months (during which my exec "left" the company)...another first experience.
• I finished the year (and am still) working as a supply chain planning analyst...again, a first experience.
• I lived in three different apartments.
  
• I didn't make it back to Oregon until Christmas (making it a full year away).
• I read more books than last year (by one)
• I discovered lots of free (or inexpensive) things to do in LA.
• Like a bunch of movies screened for free, sometimes months before they opened to the general public.
• I reconnected with a few old friends.
• Married one of my friends (by performing the ceremony, not getting married myself)
  

All in all, it was a good year.  After 1.5 years, I've got a small group of good friends.  I even kind of like LA a little.

This coming year I'd like to:

• Read more books than last year.
• Practice yoga regularly
• Improve my diet (partially by getting rid of the fast food habit I fell into while working at USC)
• Make more friends
• Love people more
