So, it's now 2008, Does the people of NSG have any New Year Resolution?

For me, it would be to do as well in the Spring Semester as I did in the Fall, and hopefully save up some money to spend time with friends in Penn. Maybe stay there two weeks instead of just one. I also want to lose some weight because I've totally let my body go hehe. I also hope to continue my search and work on my spiritual side.

How about you guys?

..Oh, wait, not monitor resolution. Sorry.

I'd like to *try* to go vegetarian this year. I just need a little more guts and I could do it. :D

I have a bit of a list at the moment although it's actually longer when I write it down because i've split up each resolution into smaller goals so I can congratulate myself as I achieve them and hopefully keep up my morale.

1. Walk to lectures every day unless it rains
2. Quit the gym and just do sit ups and push ups each day
3. Get C licence for skydiving
4. Get freeflying sticker (FF1) for skydiving
5. Compete in at least 1 FF and 1 FS competition throughout the year
6. Put aside £60 per month to go jump in Portugal next Christmas
7. Complete 100+ jumps before Portugal
8. Get signed off to pack tandem parachutes
9. Relearn at least 4 lectures per day
10. Cook one new meal every week
11. Go to all scheduled classes

I'd like to be more honest.

I resolve to wiggle my tail at least once before the end of 2008.

*tailwiggle*

I win!

I don't believe in them.

Hmmm.... find a second job and/or get more hours on my current one... barring that quit my current job and get a new one.

Why?:confused:

I made the same resolurion I make every year.

Im gonna quit doing heroin.

Course, this means at some point, I'll have to start heroin.
And...you know...I dunno bout that. That stuff's no good.

Smoke more.

None. In 2006 I made the resolution that I'd not make any resolutions again from that point forward. And I'm keeping that one. :D

I'd like to have a sense of urgency which I currently seem to have lost

does this mean I can have all your bacon?

More exercise. I've become very lazy since moving in with my BF.
And more sex.
And be more careful with my money.

pick two days a week to go vegetarian, do that for a few months, then add days, until every day you are vegetarian. It's easier that way, because you not only get used to it but you also start to figure out what you like to eat, instead of suddenly starting one day and thinking you can't eat anything and giving up.

No. Guts aren't veggie. Vegetables are vegetarian. Don't eat guts is my advice.

I'm sure they make vegetarian guts. They make vegetarian steak. :p

^this is good advice.

also, I forgot to tell you my resolution.....uh......I don't really do that, so I have goals for the first quarter of the year though, I mean I have like yearly goals, and semester goals and quarterly goals and monthly goals and weekly goals and daily goals.....but there are too many to list.

I guess one of my big goals this year is to reorganize my house.

1) Stop stressing myself out. Stop overscheduling myself; make sure to schedule only 1 top priority planned project per day, instead of the usual 4-5. And start following the advice I got from a doctor many years ago, to do my my best not to talk to people who annoy me. Apparently that's bad for my health. :D

2) Get back into my exercise routine. I got an office job last year that I let stress me out, and it screwed up all my activities, making me just as sedentary at home as I was at work. That job is gone now, so it's time to get moving again.

3) Try to spend more time working at what I like and less working at what I don't like. That means more time figuring out how to make money from the arts and less looking for office jobs, which I hate more than almost anything in the world (see item 1, avoid talking to people who annoy me).

I think that should do it for one year.

My resolution... I don't need no steekin' resolution!

I don't make New Years resolutions. I'm already perfect.

Well my resolutions are more sort of guidelines, so i'll go with the
1) More exercise.
2) Find more money.
3) Get my sister to actually speak to my family properly (it's a long and messy story).
4) Take over the world.
5) Get bored with ruling the world.
6) Um find even more money.
7) Make more reasonable resolutions for next year.
8) Forget everything i've just said on this post by February.

None. In 2006 I made the resolution that I'd not make any resolutions again from that point forward. And I'm keeping that one. :D

I did that years ago, and it has worked beautifully so far.



Then for Lent I gave up religion. I highly recommend it. :D
