In 2012 I want to:

  • get into Warwick, then find a nice little apartment in England instead of living on campus
  • graduate with good grades
  • get a 10 on my dissertation

And I want to be healthy and stay a non-smoker. Eventually I'd like to learn how to cook properly, especially main courses and desserts.

What do YOU want next year?

Photograph every day and keep a blog of at least one photo each day (and know that sometimes I may not be able to post, but not to stress out).

Either take baking classes, or teach myself more tricks.

Get out of the house at least 4 times a week, not including work (every day, if possible!).

Apply to all the bakeries in town.

Get to where I don't have to rely on others financially.

Take a vacation.

Take some fun classes with my sons.

Better skin. I dont have acne, but I want smoother and clearer skin. More youthful looking I guess. I know Im asking for a miracle, but whatever.
Start walking for exercise everyday.
Eat healthier, so I can loose some weight along with my walking.
Throw out things and organize my house.
Start decorating the house also. (I see so many things I would like to do decorating wise, but always talk myself out of buying them.) That stops this year. House makeover for sure. Im here 24/7 might as well liven the place up a bit.
Work on my photography skills.
Filling up my photo albums. (have tons of photos and albums that need to be put together.)
I think thats enough for now to keep me busy for awhile.

The only thing I really want to do in 2012 is to get my shit together and do well in school. I need to get motivated, get my ADD under control and stop fucking around. I'm going back in a few weeks after a year and a half off. That's my only resolution, to not be a complete fucking idiot.

This sounds pretty good, except I may just have no sex for an entire year and save the mind-blowing part for the next year.

This. And less shy or socially awkward. I had to file a complaint today at the post office and I was so embarrassed I thought I was gonna go red. Lucky it was a written one and I didn't have to actually interact with people too much.
