Five Resolutions

October 12th, 2006

Around the end of the summer, I titled a post “Five Resolutions” and began drafting some pledges for the upcoming school term. Looking at it now, I realise that there were only ever three, and I’ve really just kept the easiest one of them.

What’s to say? It’s back to school: studying, cooking, hanging out, cycling, and dancing, but less of each than I feel like I’d like. It’s not that I’m wasting huge tracts of time either; there’s simply a lot going on.

One of the byproducts of being busy is that it seems to make the mind a fertile breeding ground. It’s frustrating to feel full of interesting notions and project ideas when I have the least amount of time to explore them.

These days are just packed.

  1. So do tell, which two of those are you not counting?

  2. Well, I’m not counting out-of-lecture study time, since we have time-intensive assignments in every class, and I’m not counting taking afternoon naps because we haven’t got class until 9:30, so I’m sleeping pretty well as it is. (I don’t know about others, but my most productive hours are from 10pm to 2am… it always seems such a shame to burn that time on sleeping.)

    The one kept was simply to stay physically active. But I’m cycling every day now, and I’m dancing twice a week with SSDC, so that one’s covered.
