New Year's resolutions of sorts
Some stuff I should probably do in the coming year:
1) Actually learn Mandarin beyond the phrase-book level.
2) Keep going to the gym, cheerleading or not. It would be sad to go back to being 100% flab and 0% ROAR again.
3) Try to help out the rents more. They do allow me to live here for free, after all. And unlike many people my age, I can cook a decent meal that people will actually want to eat.
4) Keep in touch with important people, and don't get discouraged if they won't do the same.
5) Reduce my addiction to instant noodles (damn happy I'm not a smoker -- I hate giving things up!)
6) Be proactive in school, ie take some fucking initiative once in a while. Do the reading, see the profs even if they're mean, and keep in touch with people who remain on my side!
7) Call people instead of waiting for them to call me.
8) Go outside more often.
9) Bike more.
10) Come through for people who come through for me, and stop worrying about people who have zero integrity and expect me to roll with their lack of reliability.
Whoo!
Look at the stuff that's NOT on my list:
-lose weight. That's fucking bullshit.
-learn to please others more. Ugh!
-learn to meditate. How tiresome!
-stop smoking.
...those were the top resolutions listed in the newspaper, by the way. People are boring.
The Boy sent me a funny/scary email today. It sounded like a suicide note. He said he meant to send it before he left but forgot. I'm really glad he didn't send it earlier cause I would have freaked out in a serious way. He apologized for anything mean he'd ever done, and told me to "take care." It sounded to me like a goodbye letter, and I don't want to say goodbye.
I want to say hello! Come home!
I need a hug.
