All the way back in January of this year, I made a blog post listing my resolutions for 2004. Like most people, I didn’t do as well on them as I’d hoped. For many of them, I could either say yes or no. I still can check off a few, though.
1) Be more organized. Yes and no. I don’t know if I’ve really been as organized so much as I haven’t had as much I need to organize for. 2004 has been a much cleaner and less stressful year.
2) Be more prepared. I don’t really know what I was thinking of when I wrote this resolution. I think I might have been thinking of needing bottles of hand sanitizer kept in my backpack and locker.
3) Read more. Alas, I’m afraid I’ve still been horrible on the reading bit this year. I think I may have completed three books the entire year. Sure, I’ve read quite a few, but I’m too impatient and I procrastinate to much to actually sit down and complete a book. I should work on this more. My list of books to read is too long.
4) Be more assertive. I can’t say that I’ve done much about this one, either. Still, though, my unassertiveness hasn’t really been bugging me as much this year.
5) Buy lots and lots of comfortable clothing. CHECK.
6) Get out more. Yes…. but not as much as I’d hoped, either. I still have stayed indoors far too much of the time.
7) See more movies while they’re in theaters. I don’t really recall how many movies I saw in theaters in 2003, but I think my movie going has increased this year.
8) Stay away from sad people. No. But still, the sad people aren’t nearly as draining this year. Still draining and sometimes depressing, but not nearly as much.
9) Stop thinking about making some sort of business and do it! Hum. Not really sure what I was thinking of when I wrote this one, either. I did have some business this year, though. I managed to design two websites for two people and I got paid for it! Whoo-hoo! That’s a first! I designed a few other sites, too, but I didn’t get paid for those.
10) Be happier! Oh, yes, CHECK. Check, check, check. 2004 has been SO much happier than 2003. I just hope that my wintery depression won’t kick in later this winter.
