and onward i march.
January 2, 2007
i refuse to feel bad about the new year. i refuse to look at other people's accomplishments and allow myself to wallow in self-pity: because it seems i didn't do anything significant with my life in the past year.
and yet.
despite my resolve, i find that — my cynicism over new year's resolutions notwithstanding — i itch for some kind of to-do list, to make up for last year's utter lack of direction and purpose. and so, much to my own chagrin, here is a short list of my "goals" for this year:
1. get (as opposed to find) a job — any job — before february ends
2. actively cultivate old and new friendships (very very lazy in this area the past year)
3. smile more, worry less
4. handle the budget with as tight a fist as i can
5. call my dad more
6. sleep early and wake up early (i wasted so many beautiful sunny mornings by doing the opposite)
7. EXERCISE
i guess seven is a good number. yeah, let's keep it short. even now, even as i look at this list, i wonder if i can do all of these to the letter.
i'm keeping my fingers crossed.
