New year's resolutions

The new year has begun, but I've been just too busy becoming an aunt, work and enjoy life that I haven't really spent much thought on resolutions for 2012. Tradition is sacred, so here they are:



1. Be more honest.
This goes for both me as well for others. It is not that I'm such a dishonest person, it is more that I am a quiet one. I tend to just smile and look away rather than gasp and compliment as my inner feelings want to express. I also suck at telling people what I feel and think about things, but this may also be caused by me not being able to process my feelings, put words to them or some times not even feel them. So I've got plenty of space for improvement.

2. Pay more attention to Sun.
After all the shitty things I've said and done she didn't really want to spend a second on me anymore. She didn' tell me, and I didn't realise. But I did noticed and understood that she needed some space from me and I gave it to her. But now things are different. Good. And I hope I'm not mistaken when I get the feeling she would like to spend time with me again. And so we shall. Also, like I wrote in section 1, I want to be more honest. I her case I want to compliment her more. There are millions of moment where I wanted to compliment her beauty, skills, taste or what not, but haven't. This silence must end, because I know she'd appreciate it more than anyone.

3. Read school related material evenly through the semester.
I have this bad habit of slacking the first months, then read night and day for two weeks. Or even just days. Which results in no higher scores than C, and most of them are D's. I'm getting better and better at it each semester, but now I'm taking 10 points more than what is recommended, one of the subject is Latin (read DIFFICULT) and one of the subject is a 3000-subject, which is subjects recommended for the third year. I'm in my second. So reading will be necessary.

4. Be a good aunt.
This may go as a life resolution, but I'll put it here anyways. I have so many plans for the newborn and all the bullshit I'm going to teach her. Maybe I'll make a list and post it later.

5. Do more of the alternative stuff.
I'm what you call an alternative person. In clothing too, yes, but in this context in my mind. I do tarot readings, practise healing, collect crystals and this year I have high ambitions for my herb garden. I want to do this kind of things more often, I rarely do them now, and haven't even cleansed the new crystals I got in November. And I need to practise mediation. I just don't have the patience. Which is ironic when I can spend 12 hours straight stitching patterns in fabric (been there, done that).

6. Do more stuff from the delay-list.
I love lists. I've got lists for everything. This means I also have a list for things I tend to delay. This list is two years old now, And I'm still not half way. One thing I love almost as much I love lists is to delay what I write on them. Well, it is not really me who love it, more my lazy ass.

7. Exercise.
We all have it on our new year solutions. Even I. I've bought myself a jump rope (?) And have high ambitions of actually jogging (!!!!!!!!) when the air gets warmer.

8. Enjoy the summer more.
I don't feel this need further description. The Norwegian summer is so short, you don't know it's here before it's gone.

9. Begin Christmas shopping in October.
This October I did 80% of my Christmas shopping, and it felt SO good when December came. I had so much time to do what I wanted. Recommend it!

10. Not die December 21.
This is here for me to remember not to take this list too seriously. This goes for you too.
