New Years Resoltions and Stuffs

Happy New Year everyone! :D

I've been trying to think of some resolutions. So far, I have got:

1: Read more. I've read 32 books this last year. This is the first year that I have started keeping track, so it is my 'record' for now.

2: Become fluent enough in ASL to hold a conversation. I've taken some lessons from a few friends but I want to be able to talk, not just know random words. I picked up a beginner's DVD at the library the other day...Everything in it was stuff I already knew--cool!

3: Complete NaNo 2009. I was thinking about this while I was in the shower and was trying to think of what I could possibly write about. I am already in love with my NaNo 2008 characters---then the idea hit me: Backstory prologue!! As soon as I was back in front of Pea, I started making notes....I have 10 months before I get to start writing *facepalm*

So....that's all I could come up with. Maybe something petty like lose 10 pounds or *gasp* clean off my desk, but whatever lol.

Happy New Year! I need to read more too, that's really gone downhill. Sign language is cool, too - I did a few lessons of Auslan, but have forgotten most of it :)

Read more... oh I know aaaaall about that: I usually get up to 50 books a year, but now I guess that's only going to increase, what with all the compulsory reading going on for my Master. Or maybe decrease, if rereads don't count!

We can study ASL together if you'd like. I have checked out some stuff from the library (imagine that) because Greg's grandchild Brooklinn is deaf. She's two years old and her parents have started doing simple signing with her.. So whadaya say? Want a study partner? It's on my list too. I call that "sychro-neecerty."
