I think I might end up with two resolutions this year. I have some time yet, and I might add a third to the list. But for now. . .
1) Start Year Three of the Cooking Challenge: four new recipes a month. This year, try for more Japanese recipes!
2) Organize Keikaku, discuss details with senpai. I am so doing some of that when I am in Spain drinking where Hemmingway drank
The possible 3 is "Save money, keep your job." And while that's a no brainer for most of us, given my track record I expect nothing. It is something that I WILL do, somehow, and I don't think I'll make a resolution about it. It's been decided.
The past month has been one of the hardest in my life. I don't kid myself into thinking that it was harder than anything anyone else has ever faced, but it was hard for me. Nearly losing my job because of one stupid mistake nearly destroyed me--my mother and roommate can attest to that. I am not above admitting this. I was devastated. But I have a job. I will save money and be able to stay in Japan a little longer. I am going to NOT think about March, because there is nothing that I can do and no way to know what will happen. I will not panic about it, because I think I am good enough to get something. I may not have gotten any of the jobs that I applied for, but I had interviews. If I need to, I can get them again. I'm already thinking about looking. And if I can get a new contract for full time work with the current employer? Yeah, I'll take it.
Here's to hoping that everything works out all right. I think it will. I know it will. This year sucked, but dammit, I will NOT let next year suck!
MAN when did my LJ get so emo. The new Naruto chapter better hurry up and be awesome and save us from this crap.
