Resolutions

The new year is only a few hours away, and it's hard to not look back and survey the year that was. New friends were made and old ones kept in touch, I moved into a new house, coached for another soccer season, went out on a few dates, experienced some new places and tried to stay true to myself and to the people who matter.

There is always room for improvement though. Looking back, I know there were things I could have done better or wished I had done differently, so in the spirit of the new year that is upon us, here are my resolutions for 2007.

- Strengthen the friendships I've already made. The people I've met at school are incredible, and it would be nice to stay friends with them after we've graduated.

- Get in shape and stay in shape. Efforts made earlier in the year lacked commitment, but in the last few weeks I've kept up running and lifting, even during the holiday break. This time, I really want to stay with it cuz I already feel physically better.

- Put more effort into school because these last 15 months are all I've got.

- Get back to my billiards roots, because I love the game too much to stop playing. If a pool table in the basement ever happens, this one will be a piece of cake to keep.

- Stop settling for less because I deserve better than I think.

- Play some soccer.

- Keep some sort of job during school, even if it cuts into my free time or limits my weekends.

- Upgrade my license for coaching and try to do better this year. Also, I need to be more involved in the club and have more contact with the other coaches in town.

- Talk to strangers.

See everyone on the other side.
