So I waited until it was actually new year before posting. I didn't want to make new year's resolutions while I'm still in the previous year. New year is too often a time for reflections on the past year and renewed vigor towards the current one. In one sentence, 2007 wasn't a bad one for me - one full of new things, one full of ups and downs, but overall not bad. 2008, however, I'm determined to make much better.
Okay, I don't like resolutions because they're like a set goal that I can't really achieve. So I'll say it this way: I will be determined to make progress. 2008 will = progress in these areas (as always, in no particular order):
1. Lose weight. I'm aiming to lose about 15-25 lbs in 4-5 months and then maintaining that new weight. To do this, I will go to the gym at least, but hopefully more than, 3 times a week.
2. Get a relationship. Start dating, progress a friendship "to the next level," something. Almost anything.
3. Get into med school. This is perhaps the big one. This means I can't afford to mess up my interview in 22 days.
4. Get straight-A's for this semester. I know it's possible, I've done it (once) before.
5. Finish my goddamn research project. It's been not working and a pain in my ass for over 2 years now.
6. Take a chance with new things, or something. Branch out, explore, etc.
7. Get to know some fellow bloggers in a way more than just what I read on the blogs. If you're reading this, feel free to contact me before I attempt to contact you!
8. Learn to cook new things.
9. Take off a mask or two. So far I've blogged mostly about the masks I wear, if it's something personal. It's about time I reveal a face or two behind these cracked things.
10. Come out to more people. Even if this mean 1-2 people, it's still progress.
Well, those are the big ones. There are smaller ones to the side, but these will be the ones that'll take precedence. Well, it's now 2008 and I'll be graduating after this semester. Wow, where has the time gone?!
Anyway, as if it hasn't been said enough, Happy New Year everyone!!
