REAL New Years Resolutions

Hello, and Happy New Year to everyone. I wish each and every single one of you a blessed 2009.

Now, I've put together a few New Years resolutions that I will actually strive to fulfill. Yeah, I know, New Years Resolutions are "srs bzns," but yeah. Feel free to doubt me in making these reality:

• Start Running Again
For about three or four months last year, I ran almost every night. After summer came, it fell to the wayside since I was really bad at structuring my day when I wasn't forced to. Then, my physical state just went down hill, and now I'm back at square one. With the stress from school, I'm going to need this.

• Learn Japanese
This is probably the biggest goal on the list. Since I'm doing this on my own, this is going to be a real challenge. As a sub goal, I'm going to complete the book, Remembering the Kanji I, by the end of the month. That's a little over 2000 Kanji, or Chinese characters. I've already gone through 508, so it's a really good start. From then on, I'll just continue to review them while tackling other aspects of the language as well.

• Take a break from MUN, at least for a few months
Not really a goal, but with all the stress MUN has created for me has driven me crazy this entire school year thus far, I need a break from this for at least a month and a half. If I start again too soon, I'm going to burn myself out, especially if I try to pile Japanese over it too. Edit: Actually, I quit.

And, uh, that's it.
