Looking back on 2018


End of the year is a great opportunity to take some time and look back at your achievements, all the ups and downs. I must say, after a long time, I’m quite proud of myself. I’m far away from being perfect, don’t get me wrong and I still lots of basics things to learn. This year I invested some time in learning, which was almost forgotten task for me. I finished two online coding courses on Coursera (with huge help from my Krištof) and passed special law exam for working in public administration. Next year I want to earn Oxford Cambridge English CAE certificate and continue with coding challenges in Python and SQL. I’m not super smart for programming and need some extra time to figure things out, so I occasionally quit J.

Another big thing for me is driving. I actually bought a car and drive almost daily. This was huge deal for me. I usually drive short distances during week and sometimes go somewhere farer during weekend. I’m still afraid of certain situations, freak out before going on road and sometimes intentionally skip the opportunity for driving, but I’m getting better and more confident. Of course I still need a lot of practice and experience to be called a good driver, but I’m trying slowly. I believe that baby steps are the key.

Now let’s move from positive to negative things. My healthy lifestyle habits are awful. On this field there’s a big lack of motivation. I somehow embraced my new weight (about 3kg more) and don’t feel that bad about it, but I know that this won’t last for a long time and I’ll feel bad in the spring. On the other hand, eating bad food is not healthy, so I should really take time and make a plan for changing my food choices and taking care of myself.

My social life is very poor, I only go out with my boyfriend which is great, but I miss my friends. They are mostly focused on their new roles of being mothers and consequently we have every year less in common. I’m not a baby person and hate baby talks, so I somehow can’t lead a good conversation anymore. We have different priorities and different lives.

And for the end a word or two about this blog. I’m happy with it. If I have motivation I write, otherwise I don’t. It is my hobby and writing makes me happy. I would like to improve my posts and make them more professionally looking. I think I’ll soon change the color scheme; it’s a fun thing to do. And for the very end: I would like to spend my money more rationally and save more.

Have a great, productive and happy 2019!
