Approaching 6 Months After Graduation

Today is my day off and since I got sick yesterday, I've been in bed all day. I started to think about everything I've been doing since graduation and what I would like to be doing. What do I like? What can I do?


I would love to:
- pick reading back up
- get re-involved with my community
- be a wedding planner/event planner on the side
- learn to use photoshop to create event stationary
- learn photography

What have I been doing:
-I bought some books, yet I've noticed that I don't really make time to read because I'm either doing laundry, cleaning, too tired or I'm talking to Jon or my family.
-I've also been spending a lot of time budgeting and creating excel spreadsheets to track my spending and my savings (i love excel)
-I've been reading wedding blogs, looking at new dyi ideas, finding creative ways to save money on your big day

What are my priorities?
- giving back has always been a passion, with my limited time and holidays around the corner I've decided to donate 2 Operation Christmas Child Boxes. I've completed the boxes and I just need to drop them off
- I want a hobby- hobbies and keeping myself busy

*wedding planning was very fun when I was helping Karla! Who needs a Wedding Planner? *photography would be fun, but where do I take pictures? I would need a better camera!!!
*

- I want to save money to buy a house, have a nice wedding, save for Grad school and prepare an emergency fund

What Can I do to get there?
- Operation Christmas Child is a good start, I'm also going to email the Chair of Que Tal and get involved through work
- I can start carrying my camera with me everywhere and see if i can take some good snapshots with what I have now
- I might need to wait a little longer on the reading since I'll begin to work 6 day work weeks and longer hours during the holidays
- Continue to save, probably start a Holiday Shopping Strategy to make sure I don't over spend on things I don't need.
