Resolutions and a To-Do List

new year resolutions:

1. be less angry

2. be less sulky

3. be on time for at least ONE event in a week. baby steps, kawan kawan sekalian.

4. be present in body, mind and soul at college. as opposed to being physically absent from classes, office hours and study groups almost half the time, and spiritually absent all the time.

5. never underdress for new york winters again. skirts and lace tights in -10C temperatures are not very smart

6. make time for self, that is not spent sleeping

7. stop trusting the wrong people

to-do list:

1. get my last cervical cancer vaccine jab. hopefully for free with insurance!

2. buy gloves. i lost the right glove of my fav black pair somewhere in london :( and i accidentally left the left glove of my red pair back in new york. i cant even wear them both at the same time and argue eclectic fashion sense because both of them are right hand gloves.

3. take out the trash. there has been an unfinished box of grapes sitting on the floor for a very long time. as well as an open bag of chips and an unclosed jar of salsa. the person i’m living with is a total slob

4. reply emails. to folks who have emailed me over the past couple of weeks, especially those with application essays, i’m so terribly sorry! i’ve just had no time or internet access :( will get to them soon. but to the folks who sent me application essays, i’ve stopped reading essays for now. muchos apologies, but reading and commenting on the daily inundation of essays were just taking up way too much time.

5. change my blog layout. i already have the cutest idea :) now i just have to execute!

6. get around to sending out my christmas cards. omg i know. and after that i will finish decorating the half-adorned christmas tree

7. start uploading pictures of london and barcelona.. and the painful process of resizing them in iPhoto. sheesh. i miss my batch function in Photoshop.

8. return an oversized dress that i bought at Covent Garden

9. buy a duffel. nottingham here i come! or maybe not.

10. start looking up internships. a strangely exciting prospect.

11. decide what i want to do with my life.

12. decide what i want to do with the next 5 hours.
