I don't usually do New Year's Resolutions but this year there are actually things that I want to do.
1) Write blogs - I used to write a lot. Everything from blogs, to poetry and of course, fanfiction but that all stopped a few months after I started living in Japan. I'm so out of practice and I feel that I have lost some (if not all) my writing skills. So in order to get that back (as well as trying to re-connect with my lj f-list) I'm going to start writing more. If no one reads it... well, that's ok practice is practice.
2) Lose weight- perhaps the most over used resolution but I really want to make a more conscientious effort to lose weight for health reasons. I'm relatively healthy but could affort to shed the extra weight
3) Study Japanese - I'm really tired of my half-a$$ed Japanese. Kanji is such a big obstacle and there are no cheats to learning it; it's just something that has to be done. I admit I am a LOT better now than I was a year ago; just not enough though. Secondly, I haven't learned any new grammar rules and that's 75% as to why I feel that my Japanese is half-a$$ed. :/ *sighs* I hope to take JLPT 3 one day just to have some proof of my learning.
4) Save money - such a hard thing to do when you are surrounded by so many things that you love (and with arashi constantly releasing stuff). I have to do this because I need money to travel and to pay back by darn student loans >__< I'm going to start making a shopping list so I don't stray and buy other stuff ^^
I think that should be all for now. Having too many resolutions might kill my motivation XD
See y'all later!
