New Year Resolutions
New YEAR!!!
We went to a pretty nice karaoke place right by the UN and Trump Tower, where the anime theme songs had original videos, and the Chinese/English song selections were odd. Heading home from LaGuardia at 2pm.
Last year's resolutions
1) Figure out/clarify/update my relationship with my family
?? I think it's good? My dad is happily staying in the US and seem to have fixed some communications problems with mom, so I'm pretty happy there, though I don't think I did anything.
2) Figure out/clarify/update my role with Chinese School and specifically allocate time. Specifically, figure out the right work/work/life balance.
B- I'm doing less work, but I should be doing more.
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
A-. Communication is good, and we figured out most of those things.
4) Make a conscious effort to hang out with STEP and Paly people. Try to make friends with Menlo people.
C. I hung out with Christie a few times, and with Julieta once, and with Paly people once, but not much otherwise. I'm a bit aloof at Menlo, but hopefully that's okay.
5) Travel to somewhere that I haven't been before! (Latin America, Middle East, or Africa)
A. I went to Russia!
6) Try to be healthy. Make the appropriate doctor and dentist appointments.
B. I made efforts. I should have made a dentist appointment back in October, but I keep putting it off.
7) Work out a better solution for using the new World History textbook.
A. They write forum posts!
2011 Resolutions
1) Start and complete a short comic.
2) Be able to hold a rudimentary conversation in Japanese.
3) Practice Banjo consistently
4) Travel to somewhere that I haven't been before!
5) Eat healthy.
6) Reduce material consumption (buy less crap. Reuse more.)
I want to re-create that sense of challenge and excitement in life. I want to stay productive and active.
