A belated Happy New Year xD

[invitan]

...Shiki OST is sure a perfect moodkill. I'm having goosebump all over just listening to the first 2 tracks, and it's New Year too.

Anyway, 2010 has been a relatively remarkable year for me. Year of finally graduating from secondary, year of 'O' level - of course. I haven't achieved anything significant academically though. On the other hand, I haven't experienced as much drama since 8th grade, and certainly not this kind of 'explosive' drama, the type that blew your mind away and left you unable to focus on anything. 8th grade was different - it was full of tension, breathless tension mind you, but only tension nonetheless. There were not nearly as many emotional outbreaks as this year - an evidence how problematic a bunch of girls living together can be.

I'm fairly certain I haven't cried as much since I was in primary school or so :-?

Weird enough, we seem to get along much better when we're no longer living together. Reminding me of a fb status of a classmate that wishes that she and her BFFs can live together in a dorm under one roof and fantasizes about how much fun it would be. Maybe it's just me being cynical, but seriously, dorm life is not really a fantastic wonderland as it seems to be *eyes rolling*. It's certainly memorable though.

Looking back on my 2010's resolutions:

- The big 'O' is coming! Stop slacking T_T! --> half-check: I was still slacking. A lot. But my study progress got better in the last week or so.
- Write more in Eng. --> If 'O' level practices count, then check :-?
- Improve pronunciation. Singlish is absolutely forbidden >__<" --> Check xD I'm pretty proud of my speaking progress last year.
- Get into ACJC or above. --> dunno yet, and I don't even want to think about it now.
- Finish something, anything = = --> err =__=
- Be a good sempai --> not as good as I hoped, but at least I'm not that bad. My kouhai left a lot to be desired though =_=
- Save enough money = = --> check "D fairly proud of my savings last year
- Go to NLB more often. --> in contrast I went to NLB less often, but I still got Silver from last year. Ha.

Okay, so moving on to this year:

- Get a mobile broadband and finally say goodbye to 30kbps Internet.
- Integrate well into JC life. At least get along with my class =_=
- Go to NLB more often \:D/ And get a damn NLB card \:D/
- Save more $$$
- Get involved in something besides NLB.
- Start... participating? Be more active? Try to stand out? =_=
- SAT SAT SAT
- Resume ficcing if possible.
- Continue YRAP. Be brave *_*

Happy new year everybody ^o^ If the Mayas are right, we only have another year to live before apocalypse, so use your time well xD

Happy New Year!

Now I can see the point of recording resolutions on LJ : in a year you can check up on yourself!

The thing I appreciate the most about this time of year is when the solstice passes and there's more and more light every day.

I'm under the impression that you are French :-? (wonder if that's because you told me so, or just my memory messing up, but yeah) So your region is probably up North, isn't it? (which sounds a bit silly since you're apparently European). Just that your notion about the solstice reminds me of Scandinavia or Russia, or even Alaska (or maybe it's just me being silly ^_^). Anyway, I'm living in a tropical country so the difference about light is not that clear to me, so I'm genuinely curious.


Anyway, happy New Year to you too ^__^ (Btw, you apparently have replied in the wrong thread :P)

Oops for the thread mistake. I'm trying to compile my own resolution list now ^_^

Yes Im in France. If that was a guess it was a good one! I probably told you, or else I made a language slip? Im from the UK originally, so I shouldn't have.

Yes there's a summer-winter daylength difference: days last up to 18 hours max in summer and 7 hours min in winter roughly (latitudes are about the same as southern Russia and northern China). Its nothing on the difference in Scandinavia but you can still feel it.
