not summing it up

Every year when people on blogs and papers and tv shows try to sum up their year, i'm confused.
I have yet to have a year that was all in one phase to the point that i could sum it up at all. i could either sum up the last few months. call it phase live-with-my-parents-and-do-nothing, maybe i could lump it onto Post New York, which is a phase of about 16 months. Or maybe I could try to summarize the Post College phase, which is a rather nutso all over the place and nothing exactly accomplished 2 1/2 years.

Wow. I've been out of school 2 1/2 years?

Which leads to a thought i had earlier.
I've been home for 4 months. By the end of what is looking like my minimum time here at this point, it'll be 6 months. I am already ashamed at how little i've accomplished here.
I'm not too specific on what i want to accomplish. it can really be in any area of life. but an accomplishment worth mentioning and a decision that i don't back out on every few hours. These are my goals for my time in New York. If i can leave here with a confident decision, i think i'll walk out with my head held high. Sounds like i have a goal.
