so... a new year.
and very soon a square one year since I came to Japan.
some things have been great, some other... let's say: less fun. i have some new ideas and hopes, i'm also disillusioned about a handful of not-really-possibilities. but honestly speaking, i'm quite proud of myself so far. i manage. didn't think i would. not without someone close, close-by. but it seems i'm stronger than i used to be, or maybe more determined. older, too.
last night i had an overwhelming feeling that this year is going to be a good one. tonight i'm not so sure of it anymore, but it doesn't mean i won't try to make it so.
i just need to be careful, right?
my new year's resolutions, or something along the lines:
1. stay in Japan on a student/business/anything BUT spouse visa
2. finish my original novel
3. write and record a great piece of music
4. go to a concert
5. go to Kyoto
6. learn more about vegetables in Japan and the ways to cook them
7. be a proper lady, and/but never forget who i am
8. read more in Japanese, possibly actual books
9. go to sleep before 3am at least 6 times a week
10. stop eating sweets in the evening
i wonder how many of these will i be able to make reality. i didn't put in too many impossible ones, but still, some are going to be hard. well, if they were too easy, they wouldn't be worthy of being my goals.
it's 3:30, i need sleep!
personal,
new year,
yu in japan
