Yep, that's right, another year has passed and in just under two months, I will be hitting the age where I can no longer call myself a teenager. Unfortunately, I still feel like one and am beginning to wonder when I'll start acting more "grown up".
Anyway, along with the new year always comes Resolutions or goals for the coming 365 days. In past years, I haven't really set any, but I feel I should this year:
Get over it. It's been a while and I've had my fun, but it is DEFINITELY time to get over it.
Plan of Action: Well, not much to it, really. Just do it.
Try to keep in touch better. I am terrible at this. Having moved to different schools several times, I've already lost many friends. Plan of Action: Emails, MSN, FB... whatever it takes to get to talking to people when I'm away at school / studying. I know I live far away and I don't come home often, but it's not really a reason for being so MIA all the time.
Write in my journal more often. I found that the only times I ever really wrote in it was when I was less busy or if I had very pressing matters dancing around in my head. I need to be writing about anything. Memories are important, even if they're small and seem insignificant. Plan of Action: Write at least once a week. Or maybe even more than that! I found that I was always taking a LOT of time to write an entry. Perhaps if I'm writing more often, I'll have shorter entries and it won't take so much time out of my "studying".Call/Skype home more often. I am so bad at this, it is unbelievable. I know that my parents always say that I should focus on studies, but since coming home, I've realised how important staying in touch is, especially when I am not imformed of things like a sister in the hospital.
Quit being so antisocial all the time. Not being a fan of being around many people is not a legitimate reason for avoiding all forms of contact with the human race. (Though being poor can be a half legit reason)
Plan of Action: Start going out when people ask me. Also, Ritual every Friday; let's aim for that bar (Speaking of which, I need some. My jacket looks too bare.) .

Hmm. Five, eh? I wonder how many of them I'll manage to keep. Perhaps I'll look back on them at the end of 2010 and comment on them.
