March Wrap-Up | April Goals

WELL.  There went March.  BOOM.  And apparently April marks 1/4 of the way through 2017? HAHA YEP WE'RE GOOD.  Definitely not freaking out at all!

Or.....not.

March whizzed by so fast, but it honestly was a month in which so much craziness went down that I'm actually kind of sad that it's over.  April's going to be an amazing month too, but it's still mind blowing how fast the time flies. March was a busy month, but a really good one.  SO.  What even happened this month?

+ I made soft pretzels.  Obviously, as you can probably tell, food is a big part of any month for me so usually I like to start off with that xD BUT THEY WERE GOOD, YO.  Better than mall pretzels any day.

+ National Peanut Butter Lover's Day happened.  To be fair, I didn't even know this was a thing until my Spanish teacher brought it up and literally brought us a ice cream/peanut butter dessert on March 1st.  HOW SWEET IS THAT.

+ A blizzard happened. Yep.  We got a seriously warm winter and the cherry on top was a blizzard.  Not going to lie, I didn't really mind it though, because we got barely an snow at all this winter (which is REALLY strange), and it was in the middle of the week so...those days off were awesome.  I also did a post on it actually, if you want to check it out! 

+ I got to attend an open house of my local printing shop.  This was kind of a last minute thing, but I'm so glad I went to it BECAUSE IT WAS SO AWESOME.  Basically there's a print shop that we used to literally live right down the road from, and they were having an open house where they showed off a bunch off their equipment and the basics of how it all works.  But honestly the whole time my mind was thinking about how this could be applied to printing books xD THAT'S THE REAL DEAL.  And it was also crazy how many people I know work there.  wAhT.

+ Read Ecclesiastes.  That book is fire, yo. I reread it this month just because I felt that it was really applicable to what's going on right now in my life, and WOW.  It's so practical, and so true.  AND ALL THE REMINDERS OF THINGS I FORGET.  "Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth..." YEP.  God is good.

+ Last quarter of this school year! It's absolutely INSANE how fast the time flies, and I can't believe that this school year will soon be over.  HOW EVEN?  This year I've started thinking a lot more about the future and you know what, it can be intimidating.  But thankfully I serve an all-knowing God.  So right now I'm just trying to learn to live in the moment and enjoy each day that comes my way.

+ I took a lot more photos.  This was something that I had wanted to work on for a while and I never got around to doing, but I actually picked up my camera more and started taking more pictures this month! WOOT.

+ Read more. lol nope.  I might have read like one or two books, but definitely not enough for what I had in my mind.  It was just a really busy month :)

+ Start my plants for my garden.  This happened! I started them, and what's really funny is that all the zucchini I planted is GROWING CRAZY, but some of the other stuff hasn't even sprouted at all?! LIKE WaHt.  PLANTS, GET WITH IT.

+ WRITE. Ehh....kind of-ish? I seriously should've done a lot more of it, and I really don't think I have much of an excuse.  Although there were a few days I literally made myself sit down and write, and those were good writing days.  So I think I'll cross this one halfway off.

+ Plan things out more/bullet journal. Oh, Autumn, you're hilarious :) This didn't really happen either...because if I don't have enough time to even write, I definitely don't have time to sit around and bullet journal xD

+ Have a good time at the writer's conference.  EEEP SO STOKED ABOUT THIS!!!! It's the same one I went to last year , except this year I'm dragging a friend along with me because trust me, anything is better with friends =D I'm literally SO SO excited for this though and I can't wait!

+ Enjoy the SPRING WEATHER.  Y'all, it's spring.  And surprisingly, it's actually starting to feel like it too, which is QUITE NICE.  So I want to do all the spring-y things, you know? It is April, after all.  The epitome of spring.

+ Just freaking write already.  If you guys have any amazing tips on how to stop being a procrastinator those would be greatly appreciated xD One thing I learned this past month is that I get distracted so easily and that I don't work very much if I'm distracted.  *pounds head* I NEED SOME MAJOR HELP IN THIS DEPARTMENT.  I'm very much a procrastinator, and it's pretty much the worst thing ever *sigh* Also added to the fact I'm a bit of a slower writer anyway? *wail*

+ Read three books.  Because three is better than zero. Also it would probably be a miracle if I'd reach this goal, considering...life ;)
