So I'm a little late on the whole "resolutions" thing, but when I make resolutions (which turn out to be more like goals), they're generally quantifiable, because that's just how my brain works. I'd much rather have goals like "do this, this many times" rather than things like "eat better" and "exercise", because I can't really measure things like that. So, that being said, here is my list:
1. See six shows
Last year, I made it a resolution to see five shows, and I did (Young Frankenstein the Musical, Billy Elliott, The Drowsy Chaperone, Wishful Drinking and A Christmas Story the Musical), so this year I'm determined to bump that number up to six. This shouldn't be hard to accomplish in Chicago, where there are about five theaters right in the Theatre District downtown.
2. Visit the Chicago Museums
So this resolution includes the Shedd Aquarium, The Museum of Science and Industry, The Field Museum, The Adler Planetarium, The Art Institute of Chicago and The Museum of Contemporary Art. Lucky for me, I can already cross off the Shedd Aquarium, because I just went a couple weeks ago. These should be fun to go to in the summer.
3. Do two half-marathons
Half-marathons are things that I haven't ever really gotten into, but definitely want to try out. It takes a couple months of training, but when I went to the Chicago Marathon and saw the community atmosphere, it was something I knew I wanted to be a part of. Now, I'm nowhere near ready for a marathon, but I figured some half-marathons would be a good goal for the year.
Well my list has yet to be completed, but I'll be adding to this over the next few weeks. I'll also write about when I can check things off the list! I usually add a resolution about how many books I want to read in the year, but I've been reading like crazy already and I know I don't need a resolution to keep that up. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!
