I
decided to write some things down I really want to work on, change
or banish completely. I know it something similar to new year
resolutions, but a lot has changed since then!
Become
a better writer.
It's
my dream to get something published, but I know it is very hard and
difficult and the chance that I will ever write a best seller, is
very slim. While I won't have a lot of time to write fiction the next
couple of years (school) I do have to write essays and stuff, and
that can help to improve my writing skill as well. Right now I am
writing a fanfic in the Harry Potter fandom, in English. It's a great
help in practising my English and helping me plot a little, but there
is minimal character development. I also read a lot of writer tips
and try to apply them!
Lose
weight
I
seriously have to lose some weight in a cheap way. I've been doing
this for a year or two now, so you see how horrible I am at it. I
always start to eat when I am bored or watch a film. I should sport
more as well. Horse riding and swimming isn’t enough. Maybe I
should really consider to go jogging.
See
more of the world
I
want to travel more. I never travelled a lot and I've never been out
of Europe. The farthest I have been, is Spain (I lived there when I
was very young). In May I am going to Köln for a gig, but due
circumstance we can only stay one night, so we won't have a lot of
time to do some sightseeing. I would love to go study abroad for a
semester, but it will cost a lot of money. You can get a scholarship
for it, but it isn't much. If I could pick any country in Europe to
go to, it will the U.K or Finland. U;K fits better for my studies but
I always wanted to see Finland. Hard choice. Besides the U.K and
Finland, I'd love to see Egypt, Ireland, Scotland, Norway, Iceland,
Rome, and Russia.
Be
more sociable
I
am a very shy and timid person and I do not make friends easily.
Especially not since my friend, whom I believed was my soul mate,
stabbed me in the back. I am afraid to trust people with important
things and I am afraid of what people think of me because I am so
insecure. I do have some friends, but I don't do a lot of stuff with
them and most of the time. I also hated that, most of the time, I
need to take the first step to meet up. I never go out because I do
not like it, so I hardly meet knew people and sometimes it is really
frustrated. I always feel like the girl people can meet up with when
all their other friends don't have time. It sucks. Next year, when
I'm going back to school, things are going to be different. I want to
enjoy student life fully, and meet new people and get more friends.
Long live introduction days.
Be
really good at something
I
hope that one day I will be very good at something, better than
anyone else in my neighbourhood. When I think I am pretty good at
something, someone who's better comes by, it is really annoying. I
want that someone says: “woow! That's really great” (not my
family!) about something I can do. I'm average with animals/horse, I
am a basic skilled horse rider, I'm a basic skilled photographer,
basic to bad writer, I'm horrible with make-up, I'm not a very good
game either. Well the only thing in what I am really good, is being a
walking Harry Potter lexicon. I'm good at being inpatient. I hate
being average in everything. It's annoying. I don't want to become
the worlds greatest whatever, but I think you get what I mean.
