Twenty Ten.

Hey! This post is really old. You should take it with a grain of salt.
Rolls off the tongue quite nicely.
Besides being officially due for our second Space Odyssey (I can dream!), there are a couple of things I've decided should happen in 2010. If you wanted to be cliched, you could call them resolutions, but I'm not going to because they're not. New year's resolutions are usually things like "LOSE 20 KILOS AND FIT INTO THAT DRESS! YEAH!" which are woefully unrealistic, or things like "Be happier" which are woefully vague. I'm not doing either of those. Or maybe it's both, I don't know.
Things I should've done already:
**These are all the things that the people who have their crap together already do or know, and the stuff which I should really know too.
- Make and stick to a proper study timetable, which while being less insane than the example one we got last year, will still involve probably quite a bit of work and which, if I can stick to it, will hopefully lead to slightly less fail on the part of, most particularly, my maths and physics and maybe media
- Do some research into scholarships, universities, careers, scores needed, courses and job opportunities.
- In a similar vein, actually deciding what I want to do.
- Look into the possibility of a gap year, and if so, where to go and what to do and how much it'll cost.
- LOSE 20 KILOS AND FIT INTO THAT DRESS! YEA- ahem.
Stuff which I should really do before school starts: **
- Read all my books for Lit and Ancients. I sorta made the mistake last year of not reading Great Expectations until about a week before the essay was due, and that was not an easy book to speed-read.
- Finish that French project we were given at the end of last year. Actually, start that French project we were given last year.
- LOSE 20 KILOS AND- nevermind.
Wishy-washy "This-will-probably-never-happen-but-you-never-know" stuff:
AKA: regular new years resolutions
- Keep writing. In fact, write more. Here and elsewhere. 'Cause you never know, it might turn out to be something I can do for a living. Maybe. Someday. * Be more decisive- this one came after watching someone stare at the price list on the wall of the Rottnest bakery ice-cream thingy for what seemed like five solid minutes, just gaping at the prices, wasting precious, valuable seconds of their sad fleeting existence staring at "Single cone 4.50, Double cone 5.50, 1/2 and 1/2 5.00" (You want proof that inflation is real, look at ice cream prices, sheesh). Then I realised, this is me most of the time, when I'm always the last one to order and the last one to choose and the one still trying to decide whether or not I want to come when everyone else is walking out the door.
- Type properly on MSN. Seriously, can it be that hard to add a capital letter to every sentence? (I'm already pretty good with full stops though.)
- LOSE 20 KI- wait, no. And there you have it, a list of goals and vague whims which you really don't care about but I sorta have to put up because, hey, this is the internet, and if you don't write down every little thought that runs through your head, there is something very wrong with you
Happy new year everyone!
