Guest Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I only made one and it didn't even come close to happening. Same for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm going to copy the majority of Kellen's resolutions. -Get and keep a solid job. I'm currently touting myself as a freelancer and just about making ends meet, but a proper job would be very preferable. -Get my financial life back in order. Whilst I don't have any debts immediately chasing me, it's only a matter of time until the bank that lent me £10k for my MA course remember me. -C2E2. Get there. Pay for my hotel room. Hi Stavros! -Lose some weight damnit I'm currently 15 stone, and when I have my "solid" job, I'd like to join the local rowing club and get back into boating to sort out my recent lack of exercise. -Start a website My occupational passion is museums and I'm currently in the process of putting together a museum blog of everywhere I've been since the beginning of 2008. I want to turn my journal/blog entries into reviews that volunteers and casual users of the website can use to recommend museums in the UK and, over time, internationally as well. -Get and keep a solid job. Achievement! I'm now a paralegal in a law firm which is about to come under the heel of a much larger law firm. I'm pretty secure where I am, and whilst it isn't a museum job, it is stable enough with room for progression in the short to mid term. The diretor of the British Museum was a lawyer, so there's hope for me yet! -Get my financial life back in order. Hmmmmm. Due to my job, I am making my MA repayments and just about managing with food & rent on top of that, but my travelling has taken a big hit, sadly. I have enough money to live on, but not enough for a rainy day. -C2E2. Get there. Pay for my hotel room. Achievement! Stavros has been paid! For everything else, episode 453 of Earth-2.net: The Show. -Lose some weight damnit. Failure! I'm either still at 15 stone, or possibly a tad heavier. -Start a website. Hmmmmm. I haven't started a museum website per se, but I have increased my contacts through networking over Twitter. Still a lot of work to do, but I've started making the in-roads I've wanted to. 2 Greens, 2 Ambers and a Red - all in all, suprisingly good going for a year I didn't think I'd done much with.

dc20willsave Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 My own: -Lose weight. I say this every year. This year I kinda want to get it done. -Fail. No change for good or bad. Still, could be worse. -Finish College. I can't afford to keep on putting off the two classes I need to graduate. -Hmmmmm. It's more in progress than anything else. I'm on the right track now at least. -Write more. I don't care if this is using my crappy blog more, writing fiction, non-fiction, whatever. My major is Creative Writing and if I don't write, what's the point? -Hmmmmm. Yeah, I've done some but not nearly enough. -Buy some new clothes. I buy new socks and underwear when I need it but I'm still wearing some of the same clothes I had in High School. -Achieved! Kinda in progress still but I'm wearing a lot better stuff than I used to. -Get into grad school. -Fail. Yeah, this is an in progress thing more than anything else. -Ge rid of some junk. I have a lot of stuff I don't need and I don't want to become a packrat. -Switch to trades on some of my monthly comics. This one might be harder since I like knowing what goes on every month and DC's trade department takes forever getting things out. -Watch some more Anime. I've owned Beck for nearly a year and still need to watch it. -Achieved! I've watched more than a few series I hadn't seen before this past year and looking forward to another year of new stuff. -Get a new phone. My Blackberry has a tracking ball and the thing gets on my freaking nerves.-Achieved! Have an Android and I love it. -Try doing something crazy that I haven't done before. I'm not talking try Canadian Cuisine. I'm talking something like getting published, doing a podcast, relearning how to edit videos, learn to ride a bike. Just something I haven't done before that I think might benefit me as a person. -Achieved! Got a main page article and I'm doing an E-2 segment and now cohosting another podcast. -Finally, my crazy one, change my forum avatar at least 52 times in this year. Trying to average out about once a week. -Achieved! Might do this again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
