I haven't really done New Year's resolutions for the past couple of years because I've been doing the 101/1001 thing. But I'm making miserable progress on that, so I should probably come up with something else to do.

On the bright side, in a few days it'll be my two-year anniversary of quitting smoking. Yay me.

So. Resolutions for 2011:

• write 10,000 words a month


• complete assignments before the day before they're due


• read four books a month


• watch two movies a week


• make more friends


• drink more water and less soda


• go three months without being depressed for more than 12 hours at a time


• record one podfic a week

So by the end of the year I'll have written 120,000 words (I can do 10k a month, I did it in November, I can do it every month), I'll have read 48 books (easy), watched 104 movies (doable), recorded 52 podfics (also doable), I will be more social, I will lose a little more weight by not drinking soda, and maybe I'll have like an entire semester of not being depressed. That would be nice. And I will make the attempt to not procrastinate quite as abjectly as I did this past semester, even though I did really well despite doing everything at the last minute.

...or I could do these...



...no, I don't think I could give up rats. Considering I want to sneak one into campus this semester... no.
