Resolutions

Here's my annual list of New Year's Resolutions, most of which I will inevitably break:

1. Really be in better touch with my friends and family. This is a resolution I make every year, but this time I *really* want to make it happen.
2. Work much harder. With my work load for the next semester, I really need to.
3. Find a balance between work and play that satisfies both needs. Last January: too much work. From February through December 2007: too much play.
4. Be cleaner and more organized. I'm tired of my room stressing me out and never having clean dishes.
5. Pull together my image. Be more well-groomed and less slovenly-grad-student-like. I've let my wardrobe slip and haven't cared very much about my appearance for a leeetle bit too long.
6. Don't get to swept up in the wedding planning and visa anxiety. Bad bridezilla tendencies!
7. Work on professional goals: write/publish articles, apply for conferences.
8. Be a better teacher and proctor. Stop letting these things slide.
9. Be financially responsible. I'm po' and tired of it.
10. Be healthier: this means eating better, working out, seeing the doctor when I need to, sleeping plenty, not drinking too much, etc. etc.
