I'm not going to make "resolutions" because I know that they never happen or get kept. But maybe if I change the wording, it'll work a little better for me (and maybe if I try, that'll help too). So these are the things that I hope to accomplish in the upcoming year.
The Undisputable, Irrefutable, Complete and Definite List of Goals for 2008
-
Learn to speak and understand Spanish – I really have no excuse here. I lived in Mexico for two years, I've lived with a Cuban for over 2 years, the majority of the people where I work speak Spanish as their first language, I have the Rosetta Stone, and I subscribe to a podcast for learning Spanish. My main issue is getting over the concern of saying something wrong and getting made fun of. I used to be almost fluent (when inebriated) but now I'm back to square 1.75.
-
Attain the body that I want to have – And by this, I don't mean knock someone else about the head and take theirs. I have, fortunately, never been "fat", but I'm also not getting any younger and it's getting a little tougher to stay in decent shape. I wasn't blessed with much junk in the trunk (or girls in the front seat either) but I've been making do with what I've got. I've been saying for years that I was going to buy myself some ladies to sit up front for my 35th birthday for a while now, so when it actually gets to game time, we'll see what happens. Sometimes, I just want to look womanly dammit!
-
Figure out what I want to be when I grow up – I can remember as a child wanting to be a variety of different things when I got older: doctor, chemist, lawyer, veteranarian. None of those panned out. As of late, I'm finding that I don't really have a passion for anything. I dabble in things but nothing seems to hold my interest but I know that I have to figure it out so that I can…..
-
Get back to school – I don't know yet if I will just do some sort of certification or go full on bachelor's degree, but I guess that will depend on my answer to #3.
-
A year and a day – I've been trying to do this for a while now and when the time is once again right in February, I will start.
-
Work from home – self-explanatory
-
Write more – I have a couple ideas floating around in the ole noggin that might make for good reading but I have yet to get them onto paper.
Lucky number 7. That'll do. Happy Thursday. And HEP!
good luck! š
