Hi, 2009.. I'm Lin.
I feel my expression through words deteriorating. My length in vocabulary has gone slack. And I've arrived to a degrading point where I can no longer feel any morsel of pride in my writing. Writer's block would be a more merciful description, but alas, that isn't the case. I've hit a mountain which makes Everest look like an ant hill. Simply revolting, isn't it?
Since the oncoming of 2009, my thought processes mainly revolve around work and somewhere after that, I begin to short-circuit. Apparently, my brain has severely sustained damage which only allows me to have thoughts with a duration of only a few minutes at a time. I pray to God that made sense. I haven't shut down... just suffering from a daily amount of post traumatic symptoms everytime I step out of my workplace. Not that I'm ungrateful not to have a job, I just wish I had more time for myself. Nevertheless, with the passing American & Chinese New Years, I would still like to attempt making a few resolutions for myself. Nothing irrational - just practical. For the most part, at least.
First of all, America has had an amazing surge of health-awareness these past few months years. And I must admit - my eating habits are anything but relative to healthy eating. The pounds pack on even quicker after turning 20, and being 22 already, I believe it's time to help prevent any further damage from being done. Not to mention having to suffer from a few depressing details which I shall continue on another time. My focus is to be healthier in even the smallest ways. I'm a firm believer of baby-steps, and with a little dedication and discipline (OhgodIhatethatword.), a little can go a long way... or something like that. My decisions now will most definitely impact my future, so, I guess have to start somewhere. What do I have to lose..?
Balancing a stable academic career and work life. I'm really trying to make school top priority - but since I like having money at a rate higher than minimum wage, I'll have to swallow hard to make this a priority as well. Which means only one thing: Time Management. With that whole load of crap PLUS a Saturday class to top it all off, it looks like I'm going to be a very busy girl starting February 14th. (That's when the semester begins. I'd like to personally thank the Genius with a rifle pointed directly between the eyes for that.) Which makes me wonder if I'll ever have any available time left over for me to sneak my way in to any fandom activity. Sure, I've always laid low and kept a discreet profile - but I don't think it would hurt to share my very rare occasional fangirl tendancies with a few other people. I'm bullocks when it comes to graphics, though. That's been a goal of mine since the summer of '07. XD Guess that's gonna hafta start sometime between now and 2019. But when it comes to fic-writing, I guess I can try joining communities that challenges a writer to put forth their best. Now I'll just have to start my research...
I'm not the type to overwhelm myself anymore, but I also want to try at being a nicer person. I mean: nice. Sarcasm is my ultimate weakness and the first source I usually rely on. So this whole broadening horizons and being more open-minded or whatever is on the To-Do list for sure this time. Promise.
It's past 11 o'clock and I should be heading down for bed. TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE A GOOD DAY.
Oh, btw, did I mention that I'm optimism is also on the list?
