As if November didn’t creep up and pass fast enough, here we are at the beginning of December! I have four full days of class left, two weeks left on campus, and sixteen days until I leave for France – the semester is flying by unbelievably fast but I’m having tons of fun and learning so, so much.

A quick note – while the blog has been pretty dormant for the past four months, I am planning on writing quite a bit while I’m back in France over break, so get pumped for that!

As always, please enjoy a recap of my November goals and a December goals update 🙂

November Goals – Recap

(1) Self-care

• Meditate every day, not just on weekdays
  • I was doing so well on this goal…until Thanksgiving break. Therefore, we are going to try this goal again for December.
• Run 56 miles [X*]
  • This is a Nov-Dec goal and it’s coming along nicely! 
• Read 3 books for fun this month 
  • I didn’t read 3 books but I did read two. For the life of me, I can’t remember the name of the first one but the second one I read was Puddin’ by Julie Murphy – it was a cute, easy read!

(2) Academia

• Get those final papers and projects done [X]
  • Not all my projects are 100% done, but I made really great progress so this is getting an ‘X’.

(3) Finances/Misc

• Pay rent/loans/credit cards on time [X]
• Write more than one blog post this month
  • Absolute fail – you win some you lose some
• Only pay with my credit card this month and don’t exceed a set amount of dollars [X]

December Goals

I only have a few goals for this month, so I’m not going to divide them up into categories like I normally do. 

1. Meditate every day in December
2. Complete my 56 miles
3. Finish the semester strong
4. Enjoy my time in France to the fullest extent
   • Y’all don’t even know how excited I am for Christmas markets, great food (give me all the foie gras, s’il te plâit!), and of course, seeing mon chéri ❤

Thanks for reading and check back soon for more!

Until next time,
