I know what I'm GOING to accomplish! Its something I've been hoping and dreaming of for almost 2 years: moving in with my boyfriend. We've been a 16 hour bus ride apart, going months without seeing one another, so I'm looking forward to that big relocation. I'm hoping to accomplish the feat of finding a good job when I get there.
