Just Another End
What do I expect to accomplish this year? I expect a lot.
I'm going for a total of 40 pounds lost, furthering my intelligence by becoming fluent in Japanese so I can communicate with the people around me. I also need to figure out my relationship situation. It's difficult to manage having a girlfriend when I'm in Japan a total of a few months every year. This bothers me alot because I wouldn't want to be away from someone I care for, especially not that long. Something else though, I need to learn a musical instrument, preferably the guitar because I enjoy singing and I think I might have a talent with music. I'm still trying to figure that out though.
I need to also take more photographs and work on my skills as an amateur photographer. It's possibly a career I may pursue professionally, so I might as well tune the little knowledge and adjust my photographic eye for the next 36 months that I'm here. I also need to loose around 30-40 lbs. I'm currently at 188 lbs and I would like to get to be around 150 - 160 lbs by the time I return home for vacation in the summer.
A lot can happen but at least they're all realistic and I'm sure I can accomplish at least one of them. And with one goal accomplished comes another and so on and so forth.
Maybe I'll even get the girl. Who knows, not me.
