jOIN tHE mASQUERADE

Before summer started, I decided off the bat, I wasn’t planning to work or do anything super productive, and instead give myself sort of a time-out and reevaluate my life goals. But still, with nearly four months, I set some small, personal goals for the holidays.

Here are some I hoped to accomplish this summer:

- Study for and finish JLPT2 sample tests
- Finish reading the following: にほんご敬語トレーニング, The Japanese Revolution in Paris Fashion, Fashion-ology: An Introduction of Fashion Studies, 100 Simple Secrets of Happy People
- Update blog regularly, and not just with random YouTube clips
- Visit the gym everyday and quit junk food
- After Euro 2008 (July-onwards), adjust sleeping schedule to 1am-9am
- Complete at least one PSP game
- Get back into the TFS loop and become acquainted with the latest collections
- Practice guitar & possibly, piano

And two and a half months later, here’s what I have left:

- Study for and finish JLPT2 sample tests
- Finish reading the following: にほんご敬語トレーニング, The Japanese Revolution in Paris Fashion, Fashion-ology: An Introduction of Fashion Studies, 100 Simple Secrets of Happy People - wow why’d I even buy the last one? Well I DID zip through several books so far, 3 Haruki Murakami’s, 1 Ryu Murakami, and I’m currently reading the Hana Yori Dango manga. Um, it’s um, Japanese language education.
- Update blog regularly, and not just with random YouTube clips - I’m trying…well not really. This post is a step though?
- Visit the gym everyday and quit junk food - it’s now 2:53am and I’m munching on a Classic Dark Tim Tam. Man, these are so good.
- After Euro 2008 (July-onwards), adjust sleeping schedule to 1am-9am – I’ve improved from sleeping at 7am to 4am, does that count?
- Complete at least one PSP game - GTA: fucking hard. FFTactics: fucking hard. Tony Hawk: fucking hard. FF7CC: now where is that disc…
- Get back into the TFS loop and become acquainted with the latest collections
- Practice guitar & possibly, piano

Ahem. The least I could do is cut the excuses eh? Sigh.

Well…one more month to go…

Phew.

やっぱり私は、ダメ人間です。
