I used to be one of those people who wished in the new year everything would somehow change and become better. The past couple of years I’ve done my best to stop thinking this way. Things won’t change magically as the next year rolls around. Instead of making new years resolutions why not set goals right now? If you’re unhappy there is nothing you can do in the new year that you can do right this moment. Despite that I am in some ways looking forward to 2011 cos of all the things coming up in it. At the same time the thought of all those things happening in 2011 makes me petrified. 2011 is gonna be a continuation of 2010- another year of moving forward, growing up and wading into unfamiliar territories despite really not wanting to (until you’re up to your neck in it and close to drowning). I’m looking at 2011 in a kind of nervous, anxious, hopeful way: scared but determined to do my best.
I don’t have any big goals right now. In September maybe I imagined all those things I would do this year but not anymore. I’m keeping it small and manageable: concentrate on uni, do my best and work hard to get the best grades I can. That is all I want from the first half of 2011. The rest will come later.
