New Year's Resolutions
Friday, 2 January 2009
Right, the kettles boiling, so I'm going to use these few minutes to publicize my New Year's Resolutions. There's a few.
1. Stop being lazy: I often waste about 6 minutes when I know I have to get up and do something, because I'll just sit there and think over how utterly heartbroken I am that I have to do something. No more of this!
(I'm actually cheating here, bec ause I've already been doing this for a while, so it's an easy win for me. Sorry about that, I've shamed the long legacy of New Year's Resolutions.)
2. Do at least an hour of work a night for university: I always have something to do. If I just sat down and worked at whatever tasks I have for an hour a night, I'd get them done painlessly. However, this brings me on to resolution number 3...
3. Have one day off a week: Because I spend time getting work done on other days, I need to stop wasting the whole 7 days of the week on work. Usually, I have to worry about getting something done I could have had done ages ago, so I don't get time to relax. No more! It will be either the Saturday or Sunday, depending on when I'm working. Hoorah!
4. Get back into shape: Now, readers, you may be shocked to learn this, but there was a time when I was in good shape. I can get my mates Rob and Jonny to vouch for me, even. Well, they won't say that I had 20-inch arm cannons, but they can at least say that I was indeed in good physical shape when we all used to travel to wrestling school together. Ah, good days. Anyway, I don't need to become a muscle-bound steroid-hog like Rob is, but I'd like to improve a bit. Typical 'join the gym' New Year's Resolution, anyone?
5. Engage more with foreign cultures: Carlisle's not known for it's fantastic multi-cultural nature. In fact, in barely has any culture in it at all. However, that's no excuse, and in 2009 I want to see more of the world, particularly during my holiday spent travelling around Europe in the Summer. But, even before then, I'd like to still make an effort to comprehend all four corners of the globe.
6. To keep up to date with current affairs: I suppose 5 and 6 cross over a bit, but as a journalist I should have a fairly good grasp of what's going on in the present day. Sure, I tell Tony I know all about Generic Middle Eastern Conflict #2933, but for all I know "Baroana" could be a city in Wales.
7. (Last one here) Carry on with my blog: Well, this one wont be hard, but I'm going to keep on tapping away at my keyboard and writing these blog posts, including the SUPER SECRET posts that you don't see. Oh, yes, that's right, you're jealous (not). It's just good practice, and it's also good practice to reflect on things for a little bit when you get the chance.
Will I keep them? I don't know, but I'll write a little update on them later in the year. If I fail completely, then I probably wont. Just so you know.
Take care,
Adam xxx
PS Should I sign off these blogs like that or not? I will, it makes it sound like I'm important. I guess.
PPS I'm really exciting about getting the game Left 4 Dead, which is making its way to me through the lackluster British Postal Service right now. Lets hope it's a goodie. Argh, Zombies!
