NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS

Happy New Year!
Hey there everyone! I haven't posted in a while and I thought this is as good a time as any to start up again. 

I've been trying to think of things to say all day and exactly how I would say them but as I wrote them down I noticed I was trying too hard to be sentimental. I wanted to say something profound and enlightening, but it all came out as cliche and goofy. Anyway for those of you making New Year's resolutions then put some time and effort into them. You want to get fit and lose some weight? Then you do it. You want to travel? Then get on a bus and go somewhere. "B-B-But" NO BUTS. If you can't do it now then make a plan. Save some money and do it later. Be active and be decisive. You'll be a lot happier.

I'll leave you with my New Year's resolutions. Pick something and strive for it. Whatever it may be.

  1. My first one may seem strange or silly to you but I want to achieve Platinum rank in the video game Starcraft II. It goes Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Masters and Grandmasters. Right now I am in Bronze and Platinum is my goal. 
  2. This next one might hit closer to home for a lot of you. Pay off 3/4th of my loans from college. It's a bit of a challenge but one that I think it is achievable. 
  3. Continue rock climbing. I went rock climbing recently and I must say I am hooked. I want to continue to learn and practice. 
  4. Lastly there is test in Japan known as the JLPT. It is the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. There are 5 levels; N1, N2, N3, N4 and N5 with N1 being the hardest. I want to take and pass N4 and N5 by the end of next year. 
Those are my 4 resolutions and I'm looking forward to. Remember to have fun with your goals. You'll have good days and bad days but continue on. Good luck. What resolutions do you have? Let me know through facebook or on this post.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
