Weekly Wishes #7

For those of you just jumping on the Weekly Wishes train, welcome aboard! Also, just a reminder that Weekly Wishes is a motivating link-up meant to encourage and support others through their weekly goals (and beyond!). 

Go to bed before 11pm. Yeah... This was pretty unsuccessful. I have been finding it really difficult to do this, especially because I have had so much homework to do lately. Hopefully things will calm down soon and I can do better at this!

Unplug from a different form of social media each day. I really wish I could say that I did better at this! But I didn't... Guys, this is actually really hard! I thought it would be easy, and sometimes it was, but I didn't meet my goal. I got some great encouragement and tips from all of you though! So, next time...

Finish some business cards I was working on. Done! Felt good to get this over with. Now I am even considering making some for myself :) I don't know, for this blog? For my nonexistent photography business? I don't know!

Work on having more patience. You know, I actually think I did a pretty good job at this. I was even in a store with my dad while he was trying to return some things, but there was a huge, slow line. And if you know my dad, he is even way less patient than I am! So I told him to just go walk around while I waited in line for him. Claps for me.

- Unplug from social media. After pretty much failing at this last week, I am going to try it again! But this time, I think that I will just go at least three days unplugging from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram all at the same time. Last week I said I would unplug from one each day, but I think it is kind of cheating since I still have the other two to distract me, right?! So cold turkey we go...

- Use my time wisely. At this point I don't really have any time to waste! Practically all of my time is accounted for right now, which is tiring and difficult. But in the time I do have, I want to try to get my homework done efficiently and on-time, and even have time left over to invest on things that actually make me happy, like this blog!

- Make some decisions about a trip. Dai and I are talking about going to New York City! Can you believe it? I sure can't. He is able to get some time off of work over Thanksgiving week, and it would be a good time for me to get away too. Also, his friend lives only a 20 minute subway ride away from the city, and she invited us to stay with her. So, I think we might do it! New York City in the fall.... Does anything sound better? No, nothing at all...

- Drink at least 1.5 liters of water per day. I joined Mal over at Lazy Boleyn in Weekly Wishes from last week in this to support her, but I want to officially take it on for myself this week! 

That's all for this week! It will be a busy one, and Dai and I are taking off to LA right after work on Friday night to visit with my family. I am definitely looking forward to getting away, even if it is for such a short time!

Hope everyone has a great week! What are your wishes for this week?
