My New Year’s resolutions are more like items on a to-do list:
- Start playing competitive Scrabble (again)
- Join a Hula halau
- Work my way up to swimming a mile (again)
- Play team sports (again)
- Learn how to play the drums
- Learn how to ollie on my skateboard, and hopefully not seriously injure myself in the process
- Seriously start working on writing my book
- Refashion my wardrobe
Most of these will have to wait until February, after the dreaded General Exam. But the overall goal is to start doing things that I really want to do, one step at a time, and build up my confidence in the process … because let’s just say that my self-esteem definitely took a hit this past year.
#5 and #6 are in honor of my weakness for guys who know how to do either of those things. I’d like to prove to myself that the small things that I find appealing in other people, I can also learn to do. After all, why not?
More Auld Lang Syne reflections to come …
