In the year 2012, I resolve to have already:
- Gone from New Years to New Years without posting on LiveJournal again

- Not gone on Reddit after July 21 (with a couple specific exceptions) (It can still be a year-long resolution if it only applies to part of the year, right? It's like not wearing white after Labor Day)
- Taught for two Splashes - Northwestern's and UChicago's.
- Found an advisor for my topic exam
- TAed a class for the first time - problem sessions, office hours, and grading - and I enjoyed it
- Visited with a number of relatives, some for the first time in a long time
And, once again, Go Badgers! Third time's a charm!
