I get the importance of a new year, but even watching the ball drop on TV doesn't really mean much to me. I mean, yeah, it's pretty weird that we are in another year, but today is just the tomorrow of yesterday, but when we write the date, we now must put a 12 or 2012 at the end instead of an 11.
I don't want to be a pessimist, I do find it amazing how we, as an entire world, celebrate life on this one special evening/morning. That is something to look at. There is no other day when the whole world erupts in celebration over the course of a day, as it becomes a new year.
And of course, I've made resolutions. So many people do, and I really do want to try to stick to them... I'll give you a few of them:
- Write at least five poems a week, or a short story.
- Really start learning a third language (I know English and some French). I'm not sure exactly which language this will be quite yet, but I do have a few ideas.
- Turn off all technology and meditate/do yoga at least once a day for at least 15 minutes.
- Go for as many walks as I can.
- Read as many of Shakespeare's plays as I can.
- Read Ulysses.
- Cook and bake more.
- Play my Ukulele at least once a day for at least 15 minutes.
- Write a research paper (or two) just for the fun of it.
Those are my main ones, we shall see how this year goes. It's a big one for me--graduating high school and going off to college. Yipes.
