Hello March! ,
You came by so fast I don't even remember when you started! haha :p
Well how to start this entry...Quite alot has happened since I have last posted...
I broke up with my guy friend. I think I am finally alright with it, more or less. I am kind of glad we didn't keep going...this break was probably the best for us...mainly me I think.
I have not left my job yet...still applying to places. I applied to two studios in the city for possible internships. We will see what they say. Hopefully I will hear back from them soon!
I started yoga teacher training, and that has been taking quite a bit of my time recently...shoot, I need to catch up on my journal entries! I always forget to do that after classes...it is the worst.
My sister and I are only buying foods at Trader Joe's...just responding to my first blog of goals.

February stuff
Hello hello!,
I can not believe it is already February 2014! crazy how time flies by! So far this year, I have done a little bit for each goal I made from last year. Unfortunately, I did not get a job by the end of January. I was really unhappy about it, but I have to be realistic at the same time. People wont get back to you like a day or two after you interview them. It might take weeks! Patience is a virtue, and in time, things will fall into place as they are intended to be...Makes sense, right? hahaha.
I did not realize how difficult it was to find a job, like a career. It is probably one of the hardest things I have ever gone through. Yes, it is even harder than my marathon training regime just because I ultimately don't have all control over it. I can have a great interview, say most of the right things, and you know, be the best person I can be. But in the end, it is not up to me to decide but it is up to somebody else...it really sucks. I have been rejected by 3 companies, some didn't even get back to me, but I mean, I guess it is better to get my name out there and try than to sit back and wait...I guess? that is what I have been told. Ughhh I am just frustrated with myself recently, Regretting some things that I should have done better while I was at school, but regret will get me no where for reals. I just have to stay optimistic and keep trying...something will come up!
I am also a little stressed...like a little bit...about this guy I am seeing. He is pretty awesome and the sweetest guy I probably have ever liked! And he likes me back! which is cool because I haven't really had that in my life before...like for realz, it is awesome! The only thing is that..that I don't know...he makes some pretty poor decisions sometimes, which kind of frustrates me, and he also doesn't really attach to someone. I mean that is alright now since it has only been a month and a few days since we started to date...but I can't help but think what that might mean in the future...I try not to worry about since I really can't control that..but at the same time, I dont like wasting time either..
However,I did sign up for yoga teacher training back in January.It is a little crazy to say, but I will be paying for this by myself. I know that might sound ridiculous since I am 22. Shouldn't I already be doing that with everything? Well not exactly. My parents have been very supportive with my schooling and my rent. I am very grateful for that, so grateful, but I do have a monetary job so they don't have to completely support me for everything. Ok, well back to teacher training,! I super excited about it! It all starts this Thursday at 7:30pm!!! I am stoked to learn so much more about yoga!! I have been doing yoga at least one hour a day for the past two months, so I hope there is some improvement through all of that, haha!
Lastly, I want to say is that I think I am going to CTN this year! I am currently trying to polish up my portfolio since it is kind of all over the place. But I am pretty excited for that! I have not bought the ticket yet but I will soon !(have to make a note of that).
Well I think that is all...oh yeah! I also ran my fifth marathon this weekend with my broski! He did pretty well considering it was his first one AND he didn't train too much. Maybe next time will be a better experience :p hahaha
Toodles,
Kathryn

2014, let's do this!
Happy new year!
I hope fun was involved for ringing in the new year! I know I had fun. I watched an abomination of a movie. The movie is called Food Fight, starring voice actors such as Charlie sheen, Hilary Duff, and Wayne Brady. God, it was horrific! hahaha The animation was awful and the story...more like lack of a story!
ughhh but I had some good nom noms that day and there was some good company as well.
So this past year, 2013, has been a pretty eventful one. Like, probably the most eventful up to date. This year I traveled to Europe, my sister and brother graduated from college, got into yoga significantly, did the Insanity challenge during the summer, I graduated in December, got a job with a gallery but left rather quickly, got a design internship, finished my fourth marathon, started biking alot more, and met some new people. Crazy is a rather subtle way to describe my year, haha!
On to resolutions for the new year, 2014!

On to resolutions for the new year, 2014!
- Get a new job by the end of January. Basically, I will be looking for a job non stop on January. I am just so ready to leave my part time food service jobs behind. That is old news...plus I have a degree now. I worked hard to get where I am at, and I don't want to settle.
- Cook more often. This past year, I did start cooking more seriously, but not enough. I plan on purchasing more cookbooks~ I want to cook like 2-3 times a week from now on.
- Eat healthier. I want to shop at Trader Joes more often since it is cheaper than HEB. Plus there produce is so much better. But I really need to eat less processed sweets and much more fruits. I have eaten much more fruit this year than any other year..but I am still not too good. Juicing and smoothies might be good to get into
- Attend a yoga teacher training. Save up money for this. So far, I want to check out Sacred Root school on the eastside. I think this would be a great alternative.
- Draw and paint much more often. Finish a painting a week, and draw at least once a day.
- Purchase a ticket to CTN X and have my portfolio plus demo reel done by October
- Read more! purchase books on yoga, food, just more information! I just need to inform myself of more and more things. I know I need to do more research on art projects and such.
