but seriously, i made a list of 20 things that i should work on during the next year. i need to type them up and put them some where i can seem them multiple times a day.

1 floss and brush teeth more often
2 practice my flute and penny whistle more
3 run for 30 minutes every morning (in general, exercise more often)
4 write more poetry, thoughts, etc in my blog
5 read more non-science books
6 read more science books, articles, etc
7 eat more healthy
8 search for contentment with my self as i am
9 learn to let things happen as they happen and not fret over them
10 live more simply (stop buying stuff/get rid of the old stuff)
11 take more chances/risks
12 gallbladder surgery
13 see a dermotologist
14 get master’s degree
15 teach better
16 be a better tutor
17 be a better student (keep up with assignments, don’t procrastinate, study more)
18 get outside more often on the weekends
19 become more motivated to live life (i.e. more motivation to get up in the morning, to do work at research, etc)
20 have more social interactions with people (whether that means going to events that i am invited to or holding more “dinner parties”/gatherings at my apartment

it sure does seem like a lot of things and i know that i won’t accomplish them all this year. my main goal isn’t to cross things off a list but to have grown as a person.
