I didn’t read much this year and I honestly don’t feel like I did much, but in retrospect there were a few big accomplishments I gathered up on 2013.

• Got Indefinite Leave to Remain
• Learned how to take care of my back
• Got my driver’s license
• Got my own car
• Drove through the moors to The Lake District
• Had a lovely vacation at The Lake District
• Had an awesome Florida vacation
• Learned that I like working in Primary Schools
• Finished a book
• Tried to get published (book needs work but I worked towards getting it out there at least.)
• Had an awesome Thanksgiving
• Had an awesome Christmas
• Had an awesome New Year’s Eve (stayed at home – going out is over-rated.)
• Discovered Meg Rosoff, Veronica Roth, and Lauren Oliver
• Got my first British tax return
• Went to my first British writer’s workshop
