Every year begins with a multitude of hopes and ambitions that will eventually begin to ebb away as days past. So as a note, a self reminder, and just for the kicks of it. Lo and behold, my New Year’s Resolution for the year 2012!
1. At least 3A*s for the A Levels examination – I have always taken some pride in my academics. At least till the recent few exams which totally destroyed my poor morale to study. Nonetheless, I would have to say that most of the time, I study with an inquisitive mind. My not so visible brows will knit together as I try to understand things of various fields. A bit of a nerd, I love the moment of triumphant when my mind clicks and the flow of logic and reasoning falls in to place. That’s why I am quite sadden by the fact that so many people do not read and bask in the love of knowledge. Some take their studies only for an “economic” purpose and to bring food to the table (and dresses to the wardrobe) in the not so far future. I guess this would call for a more disciplined routine. In other words, (mostly by the fervent followers of the meme world) Challenge Accepted.
2. Read more and read better (at least 2 books a month). I think the huge wake up call for 2011 was the fact that I read without analysing a lot that I was reading. My mother raised me on the potty with a book and even till today, I still read while I eat. Maybe this should also include some sort of summary of the book that I have read, like a book report? I guess that’s why I try now to abstain from being too “politically” involved. Best to know my beliefs then announce them than being a blightering person who doesn’t know what she is talking about.
3. Be less materialistic and give more to charity. Need I say more? I guess, even for the past few weeks when I took up the mental challenge to separate myself from the love of things (other than books), I found that I saw the “joy” in the simplest of things. I appreciated more that was around me.
4. Exercise 2/3 times a week and pick up cycling.
5. Keep long hair and snip it off for charity!
Okay, back to the History reading. I have a feeling that this author is a bit pro-US but yeah. Every man (and woman) to their free thoughts and beliefs.
