castalie | Résolutions 2016

Today is a beautiful day, everyone who was on holiday is back at work... but me! Whenever it is possible, I try to avoid going back to the grid on a Monday, meaning whenever I can I treat myself with an additional day off. Said additional day off is even more enjoyable seeing that, technically, I should be at work :)

Anyway lol This is just a quick entry to try and go back in the habit of updating semi-regularly my LJ. I thought I'd do a little list of my 2016 resolutions... see how many items I'll be able to check out by the end of the year!

Let's see, in 2016, I'd like to:

Do well in my classes and complete my Master in Media Engineering for Education

Complete my driving licence (as in, I need to enroll first!)

Keep going to my Italian class every week

Go back to running

Keep a healthy lifestyle

Start going to mass, not necessarily every week (it's not something I'm aiming at), but now and then. At least more regularly during Lent (so far I go to mass for Palm Sunday and Easter)

Read 35 books (my challenge last year was to read 25 books and I read 35 of them, which made me happy. I'm just glad I'm back to reading books as there was a time when I felt like I only read fic anymore! I did miss reading but I always let myself be distracted; I'm slowly going back on track and this delights me). Speaking of, here's my year in books, courtesy of GoodReads :)

Procrastinate less. I've been doing well last year but there's always room for improvement and it's a habit that comes back way too easily so let's focus on that item as well

Try to make an "effort" to update my LJ more and be a more active member of the community

I think that's it for now. Obviously I could add "be happy", "spend time with family and friends" or "try not let work stress you out too much" but those are my default resolutions for Always so they don't belong in the list as such ;)
