Fancy that.

It would seem that the biggest issue I have with getting work done is a lack of focus. Maybe if I didn't have this incredible ability to distract myself so easily...

Another year...another semester...another entry.

So - New Year - Resolutions yeah! I've pretty much decided that 2010 is my year. I'm going to realise my academic goals finally, I'm going to realise my weight goals finally, I'm going to realise my...um...personality/identity goals...Basically I'm going to figure out who I am and why and proudly declare that this is ME. This is so incredibly daunting I can't even tell you. But you know what? I can get through it. It'll probably be a pain in the ass, but I'm willing to bet that if I succeed...I'd be so geeked. I'm pretty sure there aren't words to describe how I'd feel. So yeah. That's going to be my year.

New semester - OMG I picked a hellacious semester to actually accomplish everything. It's my first lab class, and there is a considerable amount more going into that than I expected. My history class consists of reading a book a week for discussion. My French class is reading/writing based. My Japanese class is one giant research project. My Psych class meets four days a week and requires six hours of experiment time for the semester. Is it honestly possible to fit all this into one fifteen-week semester?? We'll find out. But here again, as much as I'm freaking out (and this only the second week...) I'm going to do it. Because I want to. Even with all the stress of getting it done, I will feel so much better at the end knowing I did it all. I'm excited for that prospect.

New entry - Yeah that's it. hahaha Um...Basically this year and this semester represent the proverbial new leaf for me. I've been saying for years that I'll turn it over only to sit there staring at the leaf for twelve months and at the end, wonder why nothing's changed. Now I'm going to affect that change. I've been restless lately...I know I generally am, but recently the wanderlust has dug deeper and been more insistant than ever. I feel led to get out of here, to do something, anything. I really can't explain it, since it's more of a feeling than anything, but...I'm going to let this feeling lead me. Let's see where I end up, shall we?

That being said, I'll try to keep this up with mental state and how it's coming. Maybe if I hold myself accountable to my non-existant audience, I'll keep up. But now I need to go investigate my first astronomy lab ever. It's math-based...so if I survive tonight, the semester should be a breeze. Ha.

Post-Lab Update: I'm beginning to remember why I so intensely disliked math in high school...But I'll muddle through it. *cue: I Will Survive* Also, I forgot to add - part of this year is saying sayounara to the basket case. I've lately discovered that that part of me is pretty similar to Kate Winslet's character's dilemma in "The Holiday" and Grog no like. So that is also happening in 2010. Ok, I think that's it for now. Good night Neverland.

FYI

I'm brewing up a couple updates...just so you know. I didn't realise it had been so long since I'd posted...woops. There are entries to be made, but they're not ready for the light of day yet. Patience is a virtue, mates.

Because there are SO MANY of you breaking down my door for an update. Heh.
