2014

I spent most of 2013 settling into a new job and acclimating to life in DC. I am really looking forward to trying a few new things in 2014. Below is my list of 26 goals this year. I hope to document a lot of them here on the blog. (Honestly, quite a few involve making a fool of myself. So yeah, why not post more embarrassing moments on the internet?)
