| Resolutions part One: the old |
[26 Dec 2006|12:47am] |
Last year's resolutions were pretty crappy. I said I would "update more later" but I didn't. Here they were, with added retrospective commentary like always. My new resolutions will happen later. I do this every year. I should see what my resolutions were like 4 years ago.
NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS PARA 2006
1. Practice clarinet every day. Unless I get sick.
Alright I didn't practice every day. But, for the first 2/3 of the year I practiced way more than I ever have. I spent at least 2 hours a day near all of my auditions and then, even after them, at least 4 times a week for a few hours a day IN THE SUMMER. I got so much better my senior year. However, at college, my time/energy decreased significantly but I'm trying to get back on the ball.
2. Master Golliwogg's Cakewalk. I'm almost there. It would be cute that, if for my last recital ever, I play the song that my piano teacher played for my first recital.
I did basically master this song, and I did play it for my last recital. I messed up more than usual, but nevertheless I did it yo!!
3. Try to get at least five hours of sleep. I got at least five hours of sleep this past year, that's for sure. In college I usually get that much unless I'm cramming. My classes aren't too early.
4. No more all-nighters! Well I have yet to not sleep at ALL, but I came close a few weeks ago...
5. Don't cry over rejections Technically I didn't cry over any of my rejections.
6. Be awesome in my interviews (especially Penn's...some begging will happen there) I think I was pretty awesome in my penn interview. Princeton's went well enough.
7. Buy a new ligature. Not really a resolution Was going to happen, but I forgot to put it on my bdayxmas list!
8. Be okay with my college choice, be comfortable with my future I was definitely okay with my college choice but NOT COMFORTABLE ABOUT MY FUTURE.
The next two are NOT resolutions:
9. 120. The ultimate number!
10. IT SMELLS LIKE COOKIE DOUGH. Gaaahhhh
11. Be nicer to the really nice people that i take for super-granted. And to everyone else. Okay, well I started to be nicer. Then college happened, and now I'm more candid and honest and maybe that makes me more of a brat.
12. Go to more partays. (Mas que...8) I try to make an effort to go to social events I would feel comfortable at whoo preposition .
13. Speak to my dad in spanish sometimes. I've utterly lost my hablando ability. I did a bit but I don't anymore fo sho. Though p-pop said ven aca today. that's it.
14. Kill Jealousy It has been killed 1%
This is also not a resolution:
15. More later? MUST PRACTICE CLARINET!
