I will start packing lunch. Man cannot live by takeout alone.
I will not become too familiar my students this time around.
I will stop worrying about getting accepted into my first choice lab next year. I can always work for someone else and leave with a masters.
I will let myself be awkward, easy to read, and enthusiastic. You can take your idealized alpha-male personality and shove it.
I will not work all the time.
I will take up a martial art - akido, since jujitsu requires an hour bus commute.
I will stop worrying about whether or not I have enough time. Or rather, I will stop using 'I won't have enough time' as an excuse.
I will date. I don't know where the hell I'm going to meet people, but if I have to join the campus Objectivism club, or a LeVeyan gathering then so be it.
I will internalize the lessons from my failures without being ashamed of them.
I will start talking to strangers.
I will take over the world.
