Today was fun. I played World of Warcraft.
I could end this post here, really. Because that does sum up my day. But there was some other good stuff too. Ron and I had yummy bagels for a late breakfast. I played my Draenei hunter from level 5 to level 11 today, and got my pet. We had quinoa-stuffed zucchini and red peppers for dinner. Now the kettle is on for some mint tea before bed.
And I could end this post here, too, but I feel like putting my "resolutions" on "paper" before my life gets hectic again tomorrow.
In previous years, I didn't make resolutions because I am not very good at keeping up with things, and then I just feel silly or guilty for breaking them. But this year, I feel differently. First of all, a lot of things are changing this year. I'm moving in with my boyfriend, and I know that for a year I'll be living in the same place, and I'll have my own kitchen and my own living room and that will help me be more peaceful.
Also, I've been through a whole semester of working 40 hours a week and taking two classes, and not only did I get through it just fine, I got really good grades in both my classes: I think I only missed about 3 points total between the two. And while I didn't like my management class, I learned a lot in my indexing class and really felt like a student. So I'm actually really looking forward to this semester, because I know now that I can handle two classes and a full-time job, and they're going to be cool classes too. I think I'll finally be learning libraryish stuff. And see the previous paragraph: I won't have to choose between being with Ron but without my stuff, or having my stuff but no Ron around. Even though a lot of the time (like all day today), I'm sitting in his living room doing my thing while he's in his room doing his, it's awfully nice to know that he's just right over there.
So now I get to both eat and have my cake. Mmm, cake.
But I haven't resolved to change anything so far, have I? Okay, I'll be standard and write a list.
I will always be reading two books, one nonfiction and one fiction. It doesn't matter how long it takes me to finish them, but as soon as I do I will start another. I will use bookpedia to keep track of my reading, and hopefully I'll eventually have a reading list on my website as well.
I will start exercising again. This is of course the typical new years resolution. I am being typical.
Here's the big one: a GTD Weekly Review. I successfully used Things to keep track of all my schoolwork last semester, but by the end of the semester my inbox was full and my other projects were neglected. I spent some time reorganizing my system, so hopefully it'll be easier to keep up with and I'll be able to actually Get Things Done. This is probably another typical resolution. Oh well.
There's some other stuff, but it's all more along the lines of "I will continue doing what I have been doing, only more so."
And now my tea is ready for me to drink and I am ready to turn the computer off for the evening.
