Resolutions

Now that it's a new year, wow 2009 that seems weird, its time to make resolutions. However, I don't know if I have any. I have ones that work seem appropriate but I don't know if I could keep them or if I would want to. In some ways I feel like making resolutions is like saying "well I kind of fucked up last year so this year if I say these things out loud, I won't do it again." I don't ever want to live with regrets, granted I do have a few, but nothing that I feel really warrants repenting (which is kind of what a resolution is in a way).

I do have a few commitments and goals I want to achieve. I want to start exercising more (how cliche is that one) and since I'm graduating this year, I want to find a good job. I guess those could count as resolutions, however, I feel like calling them resolutions is setting myself up for failure. Because honestly, how many people keep their resolutions.

It feels weird that it's a new year. So much happened in my life last year. The month of January was amazing, wandering through the streets of London, finding our way on the Tube. When I got back to the US and campus, things got turned on its head a little. I got really sick and just had a really crappy semester, probably my worst all over semester-personally and academically. Around the end of April/beginning of May things began to get better and that momentum continued through the summer and into the present. I don't have too many complaints about this semester, there were some ups and there were some downs, but overall I think I will look back on this semester and be grateful it happened.

I'm entering this new year with no expectations of what it will bring, only that I want to make the most of every single day!
