…and I need to make sure I’m following these.
NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS 2011
1. start working out again, become beast at swimming and running (get back in shape for triathlon)
Fuck, I really need to do this. Might do the photography, dance, and track club. So I should be okay!
2. blog something, anything, at least every other day.
Finally caught up on all the blog posts I’ve had since coming here. They’re somewhat mundane and voiceless, but at least I have a picture or a drawing to accompany them. Should I make a separate blog for my Japan adventures or just put those suckers here?
3. draw a picture everyday (especially what you wear if it’s something nice)
I should really post those…I’d like to make a 365 for photography and art someday, but like my other resolution says: one project at a time!4. take or edit pictures at least everyday
Been following this pretty well, even if some of the pictures are on my crappy phone cameras. 5. learn Japanese freaking well
I think I can safely say intensive classes and Japanese friends have seriously helped me better my communication skills although grammar still gives me trouble.
6. work on learning Chinese fluently
7. visit grandparents in Taipei, Taiwan
8. knit new patterns for scarves to give to friends
9. get an internship or lab work study10. be nicer to dede11. stop biting my nails
12. start yelping!
13. at least 5 things off my bucket list: skydive, bungee, tattoo, parasail, hand glide, live in ADPi14. save at least $5,000 (bank account should be $20000+)
you can never have too much money, why not up the goal!? I should make it something harder like, $40,000 by the end of this year. I wish I could have a job here..sigh.
15. raise gpa to 3.5+
16. declare art double major
17. finish projects before starting others, like art and sewing
18. listen to better music, alternative rock ftw
thank god Mack is not a mainstream fan.
19. learn to sew and tailor20. dress better with the clothes I already have (and only buy clothes that will be cute for a lifetime)
I did buy a pair of overalls, but I love those things. I also bought a mini-check navy button up from a store called earth (its tagline, sustainability). I bought loads of underwear and lingerie. But other than that, most of my money is spent on food and fun. I think I’m doing okay!
…and now back to studying 漢字。あ、もう！つまなすぎ。。。 :(
