End of Year crap...blah blah
hmmm so the new year is approaching. its crazy bc it feels nothing like December. I do miss the Christmas snow, but can't complain about not needing to clothe myself from head to toe in polar fleece, long underwear, and every hat/scarf/glove accessory known to man. Although i think most New Years resolutions are pretty cliched, i cant help but think what i would like to do differently this coming year. i think for 2007, i should try to not come up with some crazy unreasonable resolutions. instead, i'd like to help myself make a better use of my time and life, by realizing what caused past problems, and making a series of very small changes (and well, maybe a few good sized ones too!).
1) The Fitness category. instead of planning some massive anorexic fest that will last a max of 3 days, i intend to focus on keeping the good things i have going for me, and making sure that they continue. i will, for example, focus on one area of my diet to improve on. and id like to also help myself find things about exercising i enjoy, or do things to make it enjoyable - whether that means spending time making great playlists to listen to as i work out, or even learning new activities that don't feel like hardcore exercise, also a workout buddy would be great...hint, hint! ...either way, id like to make it so that exercise will more easily become a solid routine.
2) Moving out. This year i want to establish myself in my own residence. I think a little independence will be a great thing. The one part i missed about having an apartment was having my own space, own closet, privacy (to an extent), and getting into my own routine, not having to base my showers on whether my brother chooses to wake up on time or not. I also think it will be a great cleansing experience to rid myself of excess baggage and just keep things I really care about. I want to put my minimalist dreams into reality!
3) Friends. I want to be able to feel like i have people I can just randomly be like "lets get some coffee or go do something" There havent been a lot of times in my life where I have felt that I've had that. Whether I need to get out there more to meet people, or try to get back in touch with old friends, that is something I would really like to have. I want to feel there are people I can just call, whenever (well, besides my mom).
4) Work.This year I'd like to put a little more thought into where my career is going. I feel like my focus may need to be a bit stronger at work, really push myself to be better creatively. And I'd like to take on a few more out-of-work projects, even collaborative ones, to build the portfolio somewhat strong. Then this year I'd like to seriously consider looking into bigger companies for the end of my 2 year mark.
5) Stress relief. Whether it be through exercise, or keeping the journal I have started, or learning yoga or something, I want to feel like i have a positive outlet for my stress. I suppose this goes hand in hand with #1.
6) Travel. Vacations are a great excape - to relax, be crazy, explore, and see how many possibilities there are outside of Rochester. I want to see Everything! MAKE IT HAPPEN! please?
That's what I've got for now. I'm sure anyone cares.
