So, last week I started a new semester at a new school.  Here, the start of a new semester is basically like the start of a new year - I got a new bunch of kids, and am starting essentially from scratch.  There is a lot to get used to at my new school, but all in all, I know it was the right thing to switch.  However, I grossly underestimated just how busy I would be with work this past week.  I was BUSY.

So, here is how I did.  Green means I did it, red means I didn't do it.

1. Go back to the eye doctor.  I went back, but wasn't able to get seen because she couldn't take "another" re-check that day.  So, that  was reassuring (not).  My appointment is today.  I also might go to another eye doctor and pay out of pocket for another exam, depending on how today goes.

2. Write Yelp review.  It is written up to this point, but I need to go to today's re-check appointment before I can finish it up and post it.  I'm still going to count this as a success, because technically I did write it last week (at least most of it, anyway).

3. Go to the shooting range.  I went for a half an hour toward the end of this week.  Not bad.  I want to start going every Wednesday, since that is Ladies Shoot Free day!

4. Workout at least five times.  I worked out twice.  Definitely not enough.  Next week I'll be back on it.

5. Deep clean my house.  I'm counting this one as a loss because I didn't get to steam mop the floors like I had wanted to.  However, I did do quite a lot of cleaning and the house is looking much better.

So, three out of five.  Not bad for the first week at a new workplace.  However, this means I didn't hit the 5 for Five trifecta - 5/5 three weeks in a row - so now I have something to strive for!

Here are my goals for this week:

1. Workout at least five times.  After last week, I need to buck up and get back on the wagon.

2. Steam mop the floors.  I didn't get to this last week, so this week it will happen!

3. Hang posters in my classroom.  Since last week was such a whirlwind, I didn't have time to do this.  It fell to the bottom of my priority list of things I needed to get ready before the semester started.  But now, I need to get it done.

4. Go to PetSmart.  I need to exchange a ball I bought for Avery (I got home and realized it has a hole in it) and I also need to buy her some more flea medicine before the end of the month.  Since nothing is close to my house or my new school (because my new school is near my house!), getting to certain stores during the week requires good planning!

5. No TV during the week.  I can catch up on my shows over the weekend.  I need to use my time during the week to reach my other goals!

How did you  do?  I'm excited to see your results, and check out your goals for this week!
