Why is it always so difficult to get back to reality? Going back to work this morning was soooo tough, I just didn't wanna get ouf ot bed! I looked at Cookie at one point and just went "look, I'm gonna sleep thirty more minutes, ok? Thxbai!" It didn't help that I slept so badly. But the bright side of everyone being back at work after some nice holidays is that everyone is in the same not-really-connected-to-the-real-world state. As a consequence, today was rather quiet and, oh joy, there was no big crisis to fix. I most definitely approved.

So hey, I don't think I mentioned my NY's resolutions? I don't have many of them because I know I won't keep them. Better not have too many so that I don't feel like such a loser when I, inevitably, break every single one of them, right? Even though one could argue that the whole point of a NY's resolution is to be forgotten after a while. Idk.

Anyway, I think I'll try to stick to two resolutions: the first one being to read more books - 2011 started nicely in that regards because yesterday I stayed home all day long, without setting a foot outside (for the first time since last november, dude!) and I read my first book of the year. So yay me. The second one, the really important one, is to finish my MA. Two years to complete it is acceptable because I'm taking my working full time as an excuse, but if I'm not finished with my thesis either by June or September, that's it, I know I won't ever make it - there will be no third year. So I just have to decide whether I think it's worth it. I believe it is, now I have to make it happen.

Well, I do have more sorta-resolutions like, you know, catching up with my shows, finding as many podfics that I can fit on my ipod, go and see the films I want to see in the theater before they're released on DVDs etc. but let's try to focus on the big ones first, shall we? :-)

No wait, there is a third important resolution, keep with my Italian lessons. That's another big one *nodnod*

Reading more books is one of my resolutions, too! I have to make that one every couple of years! lol

And keeping up with the Italian lessons is a good one! As a language teacher, you know I can only agree *nods*

From what I could see on my flist, it seems to be the resolution of a lot of people lol Guess fics will do that to people *cough*

Qu'est-ce que tu as lu ?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

How to Talk to a Widower de Jonathan Tropper. Je ne sais pas si tu connais l'auteur ? Je l'ai découvert l'année dernière, je crois, et j'aime beaucoup.

Ce n'est pas de la grande littérature mais ses personnages sont toujours très vrais et touchants et amusants et toujours attachants.

Non, je ne connais pas, mais je suis allée lire le résumé sur Amazon.

Tiens bah j'irai peut-être faire un tour sur Amazon pour acheter les deux bouquins de Tropper qu'il me reste à acheter.

Italian too? There are so many people far too linguistically talented on my flist. :)

YOU CAN DO IT. We will both be finshed in September.

Yes, Italian :-) I understand it enough that I can follow simple conversations and I can make myself understood if I make some real effort but I've always wanted to take lessons so that I could really speak it. For real.

Thanks! And you're totally right, we'll both be finished in Septembre *nods* *also, high fives*

It seemed especially hard this year, for some reason!

the first one being to read more books

The second one, the really important one, is to finish my MA.
