For the other two questions, well I don’t know and quite frankly I don’t really care. The only things on my mind for the future is to get better grades, learn Japanese, get a part-time job and to continue reading, writing, and occasionally practise playing my guitar. Its funny how none of the things I do often are on that list, that being said I should really cut down on the shit that I do too often that is neither fulfilling or fun any more – video games.
I was browsing the forums of Team Liquid and came upon that annual thread about your New Year’s Resolution, 80-90 percent of the stuff being said was the resolution of getting better grades. How were my grades? Pretty Fucking NORMAL if you ask me. A slew of credits and one or two passes. Funny thing is I didn’t study much, a lot of cramming a week before the examination. I admit, I had my head up my ass. I think its less so now. Browsing that thread and inferring that gross statistic gave me a little perspective i.e. I’m not the only Fucktard that needs to wake up.
Getting good grades, going to the gym more often, getting a girlfriend, practising that hobby, and all that shit, is NOT my New Year’s Resolution. To me its something more specific than that, something that you would have to get out of your way to do. All the things I mentioned before are examples of stuff that I would already do without some silly resolution that is made once a year when the clock hands minute and hour, meet at twelve.
So what is my New Year’s Resolution? As I read through the thread and came to its end, without thinking I typed and posted, “Read a hundred books by the end of 2011.” Seemed like a good idea before but now, it feels like a great idea. That’s my NYR, to read 100 books by December 31 2011. How many books did I read this year? Probably less than five D:
So what is your NYR?
PS: Apparently anymore is spelled any more. My world has been rocked.
