New Year's Resolution: The 2012 Version

Now, that it's officially 2012, I've decided to make 12 New Year's resolutions. Got to love these annual traditions! Here goes:

1. Manage my time better. I can always watch River Cottage and the Big Bang Theory after I do my readings! 
2. Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day. My bum will thank me later once I can fit into my pants again. 
3. Enjoy sleeping in as much as possible. Once I go back to the working world, it'll just be but a distant memory. 
4. Keep in touch with my good friends at least once a month. The longer I keep living overseas, the more this becomes important. Or just go visit them in person. Russia isn't that far away!
5. Stop repeating the same mistakes. One day, I'll actually learn! Or I just need to start shock therapy. 
6. Stop talking to idiots because they will never change. Once a fence sitter, always a fence sitter. 
7. Learn to knit a beanie. I've spent all last month trying to look for a red beanie to no avail! If I make my own, then I can't complain anymore. 
8. Drink less. The UK hasn't been good to my liver. 
9. No more Converses! It's no longer the grown-up shoe. 
10. Crash an Olympic event. Hmmm... Compromise... Go attempt to be as close to an Olympic event a possible, preferably gymnastics. They can do cool flips! Or swimming. Guys in Speedos who should be wearing Speedos... =P
11. Start celebrating my freedom at exactly 9:46a on Friday, 14 September. I already got a party planned!
12. Find me one of those little things called a job. With the economy the way it is, I'll take anything. (Well, almost anything. Starbucks for sure. McDonald's maybe not.) Hopefully, anything where I can apply this Master's degree I'm attempting to get.

Wishing everyone a good start to the year! =)
