Making April Happen

Umm, okay, this year is officially going by way too fast. I love April because spring is finally showing itself, my birthday occurs during this month and spring break takes up an entire week of the month. Because of the business that occurs during April, I will be making goals that are very much attainable, but not as challenging as they usually are. 

March Goals 
1. Read 2 books. 
Yeah this didn't happen either because the second book I chose wasn't really a novel type of book like I was hoping, it was more of a Bible study. And frankly, I felt too lazy to find a different book to read. So yes, I didn't complete this one. 
2.  Exercise once a week. 
I finally completed this goal! It was easier I think because it has been fairly warm and I could walk outside more frequently. 
3. Research phones & job possibilities 
So I really did complete this goal because I currently have an application I am filling out for a job and I am really hoping they will follow up with an interview. 
4. Write a 500 word story.
This happened and I will be posting it on the 6th. 
5. Hit 100 Followers.
Okay so this didn't happen...in fact, I lost followers...gained more...loss more. ugh, so frustrating haha
6. Send out 4 cards.
This happened! I sent one to Maddie, my youth pastor's wife, my cousin and Lily! 

April Goals 
1. Read a book.
By the time I get back from spring break and fall back into normal routine, 10 days of April will already be gone...so granted I have only twenty days, this is is an attainable goal. 
2. Hit 100 Followers
Since this didn't happen last month, I am going to really push on to make this happen during mah birthday month!
3. Memorize Scripture
This month I want to get back into the habit of memorizing scripture and I want to memorize two verses. Still figuring out what verses specifically.  
4. Turn another year older and celebrate it well 
This is pretty self explanatory, but I want to make this a good birthday that I will treasure when I look back on it.
5. Successfully get through my first interview 
I've submitted my application for a job, so it is my goal this month to do well on an interview! 
6. Write 700 word story.
This time, I want to see if I can write a story with a longer plot line. Upping the word count this month!

What do you want to make happen in April?

  5. LAUREN. happy early birthday! 16 is a good age -- it's only been a month since i've turned 16, but it has already been full of laughter and exhaustion. 16 still holds adventure and hope and the biggest change in my life yet, but God has me and this is the part where i trust him with my eyes on Him and the world ahead. i hope you enjoy it.

    camp nanowrimo (national novel writing month) is in april and so my goal is to complete 30,000 words which is 1000 words a day. my novel is coming along splendidly and i just have to write about 400 words today and then there's tomorrow! good luck on your story this month and i cannot wait until the 6th to read your short story.

  11. You got most of those goals! I met my book goal of finishing a book that's been on my shelf for a loooong time. But go for these next goals! I too want to read a book (hopefully two) and memorize more scripture. I memorized a lot of scripture last month, but the past two weeks have been harder.

    And prayers going your way concerning that interview!
