Resolutions (ver. 1)

It's hard to be in process when all around you, completion is what is glorified.

1) Self:
a) Play:
Salsa – successfully complete intermediate level by year end
Ballroom – successfully complete bronze level by year end
Taekwondo – successfully complete two belt levels by year end
(I would love to take an adult intro to ballet... )

b) Work:
Writing – min. 500 words per day, take as many writing workshops as possible
Reading – ½ novel, 1 play, 2 essays per week
Academia – seek publication for individual essays from MA, write GRE, apply to PhD programs by year end.
Chinese – min. 1 new character or expression per day, watch Cantonese news 2 times a week, take one Mandarin conversation class by year end.
French – take one French conversation class by year end, watch 1 French movie per two months, read two French novels by year end.

3) Family:
--Cook dinner once a week for the family
--Run Langara with Daddy once a week
--Exercise with Mom once a week at the neighbourhood YMCA
--Plan daytrip to tulip festival in Seattle in April

4) Friends: Engage in unpredictable meaningful transformative encounters responsibly
--Initiate 1 activity with friends per 2 weeks
--Assert honesty, be generous with friendship
--Trust enough to ask and receive without fear or hesitation

5) Money:
--working for daddy is difficult to measure
