new years resolutions
This list only barely covers what I ought to change about myself. But it's a start, and the rest of it can obviously wait till next year...
- Procrastinate less
- Drink more water
- Eat more leafy green vegetables
- Buy fewer crayfish + rocket sandwiches from Pret a Manger, and make more crayfish + rocket sandwiches myself
- Spend less money on frivolous things (scented ballpoint pens, magazines that encourage frivolous spending, packaged facial wipes, French lounge CDs etc)
- Wear less black
- Reply to e-mails sooner
- And on that note, two words: less internet
- Send fewer text messages and make more actual phone calls
- Ring my grandmother more often
- Continue trying something new each week
- Resist the urge to overanalyse, particularly whilst dealing with
strange creaturesmen - Read the Financial Times and The Economist more often
- Not care so much as to what others might be thinking
- Avoid tendency to let eyes glaze over during boring, sleep-inducing bits of Statistical Inference
- Accept the fact that strange, flowy capes will have to be worn to formal dinners at Oxford University
- Eliminate unbecoming words from vocabulary (‘like’, ‘whatever’, ‘cool’, ‘oh my God’, 'anyways', 'you know', etc.)
- Develop more of a ‘green thumb’ and decrease the number of houseplants murdered
