I need something to shoot for and that's why I make New Year's resolutions.

1.  Lose 10lbs and gain a six pack.  One day over the Christmas break my brother and I were getting ready to go bodysurfing.  We were gathering our fins and I didn't have my shirt on when he said,"hey buddy, take off the inner tube." I put my arms up to my waist...doh!  what a bastard.

2.  Don't procrastinate.  I have a serious problem of "planning" things for later when I could be doing them now.  Grad school apps and standardized exams will creep up faster than I think.

3. Study Japanese.  Every year I make this promise and every year it never happens.  At some point I will be embarrassed at how poor my Japanese is compared to how long I've been here and I will do something about it.
