New Year Resolutions; post them here!

Post by phyco126 »

So, what is everyone's resolutions? Mine is the following:

1. Travel to several states and at least one country I have never been to (Canada this year)
2. Save save save, I need to save as much as I possibly can. If this new job goes through (and I've never prayed this hard about getting a job before) then I can possibly buy a house in 2012.
3. Build a computer for my friend. No roommate of mine is going to get 10 FPS on a game thats 5 years old!
4. Make Christmas 2011 the best Christmas my family has seen (gift wise) in several years
5. Work out. I worked out steadily for months last year, but in August I just suddenly stopped. Time to get back into it I say!
6. Pay down student debt as far and as fast as I can. I currently have 53,000 in loans, so its gonna be killer when I have to start paying it all back.
7. Get my associates. Seriously, I'm like, one or three classes away. I want. Bachelors isn't far behind.

Thats about it, at least for now. This year I did pretty well, though on everything else but my resolutions, ha ha. I worked out steadily for months, which got me fairly fit. I started taking martial arts, so I'm getting better at that. While I didn't get that promotion, other doors are currently open that I am attempting to go for. Otherwise, work was solid and great for me. Got a new car, got to travel to Georgia twice, even met my grandmama from Argentina and visited my grandma, aunt, and uncle from my dad's side.

Everything that 2010 was, I will make it better in 2011. Everything that went wrong in 2010, I will do whatever I can to avoid in 2011. So, to that end, I say bring it!

2) Spend less money

3) Buy significantly less videogames (see 2)

4) Get job in Japan or move out to own place (deadline, July 6th, my 30th birthday)

Save money. 2010 was really bad for me with my $1200 HDTV dying on me and throwing away money to fix stuff on my car only to have it die on me anyway....forcing me to buy another car. 2011 better be a better year for me financially.

Happy new year all my fellow Lunar lovers!!! :D

1) Stop smoking outside of conventions. (Eventually leading to stop smoking all together. x_x)
2) Lose weight!! (The typical cliche female new year resolution!!)

About it for now. Wishing you guys all the best in 2011!! <3
Must get back to my sister, her friends, and my boss boy now.

There's one resolution I have; though, it's a bit personal and something that we'll see if it's fulfilled by the end of this year.

I'll let you know if it is, though. KF

For anyone that thinks I was drunk on New Years, you are wrong! I was just trying to be funny. I havn't had a drink in 2 1/2 years. :x

My goals this year are to get back into shape, re-learn Japanese, take Judo, play chicken with a train and hack Lunar-Net. Good luck everyone with you're goals!

I don't have goals so much as a few plans. The main thing though, I plan on doing the Tour du Mont Blanc trek in the Alps in either August or early September this year. It's basically a ~110 mile trek around Europe's tallest mountain, Mont Blanc and passes through Italy, France and Switzerland during the trek.

I don't really have any, but one thing I should do this year is get a job, for a few reasons, 1. I'll go crazy sitting around the house all day waiting for my boyfriend to come home from work and 2. Money

The backcountry of China is probably my #1 most wanted place to go. From what I've researched, China probably has the most beautiful scenery in the world, and a lot of it is almost unknown to the western world.

Oddly enough, mine could be to become less employed. Many attempts to cut back my hours keep getting undone because there's too much of a backlog. Being out sick for nearly half of December didn't help. :/

And now that's my 6000th post. Yay, I guess. Used to be consistently about a hundred posts behind Kizyr, but he's had more to say and I've had less for a while now.
