I do not normally write resolution but I figured this year will be different from any other. Everything is new and I might as well have great goals for myself.

In no particular order:

  • Learn snowboarding- heights be damned, this is it! Time to learn and teach those Swedes how one really does it. And for anyone who wants to teach me, I’m totally available. =)
  • Complete three paintings- I did it when I was younger and I still have the talent
  • Find a job- oh yes, just that easy!
  • Pursue photography- Join the Stockholm art community as both a photographer and a model
  • Apply for graduate school — Attend graduate school
  • Get an apartment with my cousin- If any of you know someone who is renting their place for the long term, please please please let us know. I implore you.
  • Visit Svalbard and Jan Mayer- Why the hell not?
  • See the Stockholm museums, attend a hockey game (or two or three)
  • Find a decent fellow to spend time with. Don’t laugh, but I’m really shy/nervous around people I like. And I’m pretty traditional. I may be having a wild child phase at the moment (or I may always have a little wildness in me), but I can be quite domestic. And I want a man who can be a man for me, like he’s comfortable with taking control (and me do so at times). Oh, and I’m a great cook and love cooking for someone. =)
  • Work out- get killer abs and stay toned
  • Pursue ballroom dancing with more passion- MUST. GO. DANCING.
  • Relearn the guitar- Start with fingerpicking. Work with a classical and maybe move to acoustic
  • Learn Icelandic…learning Swedish is a given
  • Patience- seems a little silly to say. I am not a patient person. By any means. Without going into details, I am in a situation where patience is key. If I lose my cool, I will ruin everything. But at the same time, waiting and keeping cool is a daunting task. So I believe if I possess a little patience, I will be rewarded with something great.

If I start to falter, be sure to post and slap me. I am determined to stay on top of my goals.

Happy new year to all. Let’s hope for a wonderful 2008. Woohoo!!!
