2010 New Year's Resolutions

Lack of originality? Perhaps, but ritual is never original. Shall we begin?

Professional Goals:

1) Read at least fifty books.
2) Publish at least twenty articles.
3) Write a short book of poetry and prose.
4) Resume playing the alto-saxophone and enroll in martial arts programs.
5) Maintain a 4.0 GPA for both Spring and Fall 2010.
6) Complete or secure an internship and begin volunteering regularly.
7) Seriously study for the GMATs and the LSATs.
8) Attain nominal fluency in Arabic.

Social Goals:

1) Travel to Oslo, Toronto, Saskatoon, and Potter Land.
2) Go alpine skiing.
3) Maintain a quotation notebook throughout the year.
4) Attend at least three chick-flick movie fests.
5) Meet new social situations with great enthusiasm. (Yes, it will get cheesy from here)

Personal Goals:

1) End the policy of not seeking external support when emotionally disturbed- finding a balance.
2) Gaze at the stars through an unpolluted section of the atmosphere.
3) Fall asleep in a different nation than the one where I awoke.
4) Hike across a harsh terrain and camp out in the wilderness.
5) Learn to cook excellent meals and clean disturbing messes.
6) Say "I love you" and mean it in the romantic sense.
