learn as much russian as humanly possible: not to brag, but i'm pretty god at this for a beginner
get a place for next year/work enough over the summer to pay for school/don't go into too much debt: well my fees were waved for school, and i'm paying rent, and i haven't taken out a loan since that one from USF
move to san francisco: yeah. gr8.
branch out in san francisco: i guess. i'm kind of one of those losers that doesn't leave the mission though. but, mexicans rule!
don't be so self-deprecating: kinda failed.
make enough money to go back to poland at some point in 2009: also failed. moving means i pretty much have nothing saved.
pay less attention to boys, more to making good friends and staying good friends: i guess i did make some really good friends from work, and drop-outs from usf, and my roommates. having close friends in the city is much different from having close friends in cambria.
be good to my body (especially my liver): i went vegan and i feel pretty good about that, especially seeing the difference when i'm at home and am forced to eat milk products, and then have stomach cramps for hours. and i guess i drink less, and less frequently.
put that beautiful banjo to use: yes! and i'm really glad that mandolins have the same chords as tenor banjos. now i just need to figure out how to play the tiny tiny strings.
2009:
DECIDE. santa cruz vs. san francisco. masonic vs. stonestown.
wake up earlier, go to bed earlier.
learn mando/banjo well enough to play in public.
write more songs.
write more.
get my bike fixed.
save money.
