New Year’s Resolutions for 2005
2004 was a great year for me personally (let’s not talk about world events). I had a sweet internship at TechTV (before its demise), which was the best job I’ve ever had. I also lost close to 30 pounds the old-fashioned way — through diet and exercise. I graduated with a Masters degree, another major accomplishment. ‘Course, I also had to go through several months of unemployment, but I made use of my time off. I volunteered at non-profit organizations. I went out and met people I didn’t know. In short, I got out of my shell. I can safely say I’m healthier and happier now than I was the same time last year.
In 2005, I hope to continue this trend. The following are my goals for 2005. I’m realistic enough to admit that I might not accomplish all of them, but I hope to at least have a 90% success rate.
- Get married to this guy.
- Get on the ball about applying for a permanent residency as soon as possible. This means reading up on all the laws and regulations.
- Get back on the healthy diet regiment (I’ve lapsed a little during the holidays).
- Get back to the gym. Again, I’ve lapsed a little recently.
- Get that driver’s license.
- Give it my all at the WIRED Magazine internship. And hopefully stay on.
- Read my RSS feeds on a daily basis.
- Brush up on my CSS skills.
- Switch over to Wordpress (mostly due to Matt). Might not switch over entirely, but we’ll see.
- Learn more about PHP and MySQL.
- Get organized. Use the PDA to its full potential.
- Do more offline reading. This means magazines, books, etc.
- Get out of the shell even more.
I’m nothing if not ambitious.
Happy New Year everyone!
