In Lieu of a New Years Resolution

I’ve never really made a new year’s resolution. If I have done before, it probably was something we were told to do in class or a list of quickly scribbled, vague, random things on some paper that I knew I’d misplace soon. So I found this meme thing on ze internets that I think would be a lot better than a classic new years resolution. And after completing the list, I’m even more convinced. My list looks a lot more focused, decisive, measurable and realistic than any new years resolution I can ever write. And I’m not waiting til New Year either.. =)

The original meme can be found here: Clickie! And here is mine: (Also on a separate page permanently on header to keep track of easier.)
