Happy New Year everyone!
Spent tonight with the usual family++, but we're now more grown up, so we went to watch Sherlock Holmes, which was entertaining.
Then I went home, got drunk, looked at the moon, and then Jono decided to try to teach Ben the theory/mentality of computer science to Ben.
Anyways, Resolution time!
For this past year:
1) Be in a healthy, growing relationship with Jono
A. Happily married! We have our different quirks, but we're good at communicating and talking it out.
2) Keep improving as a teacher. Specifically: classroom management skills.
B. I'm slowly improving classroom management skills. The curriculum flow is a bit harder this year.
3) Help get Chinese School to a stable place -- in terms of management, curriculum, teacher support, etc.
C. Erm... other things got in the way, and it's just something that demands more solid chunks of time instead of the scraps of time that I give it.
4) Do something TOTALLY AWESOME. Something that would make T-Rex proud.
Null. After polling the current people present, I've decided that I don't care so much about grand gestures that would make T-Rex proud. However, possible contenders may be: Our costumes for the wedding. My Ben Franklin/Colonial Dude costume. Comics that include 80+ people.
5) Keep up the China Comic.
B. I've kept it up, but rather sporadically. Sometimes life got in the way, and sometimes it's just because I burn out for a week or 2 after making one.
6) Keep up better with friends. I've seen a lot of Ben and Alexis, and also Joanne from the road trip, and anyone still in Chicago/ACen, but not the other peeps.
C. Have not kept up with Paly peeps as much as I'd like, as well as STEP peeps.
7) Learn a new skill or academic thing. Not-half-assedly.
B. Took basic swing dancing classes with Jono. Not terribly impressive new skill. Um... I made something cool with sculpey?
2010 Resolutions:
1) Figure out/clarify/update my relationship with my family
2) Figure out/clarify/update my role with Chinese School and specifically allocate time. Specifically, figure out the right work/work/life balance.
3) Stay open and communicative with Jono, and work out the small kinks like dinner making when we are both in-decisive, self-project versus couples time, negotiating friends time
4) Make a conscious effort to hang out with STEP and Paly people. Try to make friends with Menlo people.
5) Travel to somewhere that I haven't been before! (Latin America, Middle East, or Africa)
6) Try to be healthy. Make the appropriate doctor and dentist appointments.
7) Work out a better solution for using the new World History textbook.
