I had this sudden urge to reorganise my aims this long vacation. Sudden whim to take out the list of 100 things I want to achieve which Mrs Ting started us on last year before prelims. I should probably rethink some of them and really set out to achieve them!
Learning French! A few lessons have passed and French is well, difficult. Emmanuel is not too bad as a teacher I guess but it's overwhelming. Tie is a feminine word? Like explain that please. I know this will take real effort and dedication on my own to master it and Im really willing to commit to it! I shall wait for the day when I can throw out fluent French in comprehensible pronouciation. (:
Learn swimming. I admit I have been procrastinating about this. Im still scared of water. XD I will get to it. I shall aim to learn breast stroke by August! And I will appreciate it if patient nice people can teach me. ((:
Volunteer work! Yes yes I will definitely commit to this. Starting with Salvation Army this weekend with Xinru. Then it builds on. (:
Appreciate classics. Haha this seems very much overdue. I still rememeber my failed attempt at
Pride and Prejudice. I have Jane Austen's
Mansfield Park on hand now and it's supposed to be "the most profound and original" one from Jane Austen. Well good luck to me. It can keep my mind busy.
Learn to cook something besides instant noodles. XD That sounds pathetic huh. 18-year-old clueless about cooking. Other people cook dinner for their families already!
Read books on psychology. Hmmm that means visits to the library! If I can squeeze in time between my job, French lessons, tuition ...
Get out of my cave and listen to more songs besides oldies. Turning old already.
Hmmm other things I wrote include attending concerts by Vienna Philharmonics and Tokyo Kosei, learning the guitar properly. Heh, all these shall wait until I actually have access to them. For now, I think I have enough of music. The insrumental kind at least.
Woo life has suddenly become much more exciting!
