Early New Year’s Resolutions
Based on the events of the past few days:
- I will stop going for tutorials a week late.
- I will stop going for aforesaid tutorials unprepared, although I realize this is ultimately of no consequence given that I am a week late.
- I will bother to set my alarm clock(s) for Wednesday mornings, when I have to meet the priests to choose hymns for Sunday. I feel exceptionally rude keeping the clergy waiting and then turning up in pyjamas.
- I will buy gloves I like instead of going gloveless and freezing due to reluctance to wear my murderer ones.
- I will never buy Tesco’s vile soya milk again in attempts at health. Self-induced nausea cannot be healthy.
- I will find music to listen to while studying that is neither so catchy that I end up singing along and bouncing off the walls (Dismemberment Plan) nor so soothing that it lulls me to sleep (Galaxie 500). Unfortunately I think this then means Matchbox 20 but they do say suffering is good for the soul.
- I will teach myself to like healthy snacks like wheatgerm instead of guzzling Kettle Chips (salsa and mesquite flavour).
- I will uninstall Dope Wars from my computer. I will also stop publicly discussing cocaine prices and the strategic necessity of procuring assault weapons for use against the police.
- I will stop getting wound up about things that are ridiculously unimportant in the larger scheme of world hunger etc. as well as pretty damn trivial compared to the problems of some of the people around me.
- I will spend less time writing lists of resolutions and more time actually carrying them out.
