resolved

1. That WA. should wake up before 10AM most days
2. That WA. should not hunch like a demoralized Quasimodo over her computer for more than 5 hrs a day.
3. That WA.’s leg hair should not exceed 1/4 inch.
4. That WA. will not let her eyebrows metastasize across her forehead (though…Peter Gallagher as a twentysomething female Asian grad student? Kinda hot).
5. That WA. will not doodle pictures of her classmates as 19th century presidents in class.

Doable? Infinitely doable.

Decided not to attempt any unrealistic goals this year. I can do all of the above. I think. But out of respect for my friends with more exalted resolutions, I’m also going to give the following a half-assed go: 1) eat more fruits and veggies. 2) go to ballet at least 3x a week 3) do the readings for class 4) wash hair regularly 5) recycle.

Of #3…I remember those hallowed undergraduate days, when I carried out my goal of never reading a single book for my English classes. I managed to graduate with an honors major, no less, without reading a SINGLE novel for any of my lit courses. Xine will remember one instance when my desperate pre-class skimming actually saved me from the probing questions of our nose-picking drama professor. Of course, this legacy of non-reading is kind of biting my butt now.

But it’s a new year! Resolved: that it will be better than the last.
