New Semester, New Year, New Resolutions

January 24th, 2012 ddluu15

Hi everyone!

So I’m back in school today, one day before the new semester officially starts and this is also the Year of the Dragon on the Lunar/Chinese calendar. I haven’t really been celebrating as much as, nor doing anything super productive. I’m doing the usual browsing the internet for memes, looking around Reddit for something interesting, and protesting SOPA/PIPA. All that fun stuff aside, I’m trying to get acclimated to being back to school and I’m not really going to have much time to just laze around. So like every New Year (Lunar or the normal New Years, even though I’m late) I have made three simple resolutions.

1. Work harder on school/study more/academia (typical do better in school attitude, though this is also worth $200k+ at least to do well). I didn’t do so well in biology as I had wanted (B), nor in my Montserrat and I would like to improve my GPA to at least a 3.5 or better.

2. Try to stay active in Lions Club. I’m not going to start a lions club at Holy Cross (using their name) and just make my own Worcester club so I can have anyone who’d be a good community member be able to join. Over break I went to a winter conference for my local lions district, and it was great. I had a lot of fun talking with my old friends and the people in lions, and every time I go to an event, I feel rejuvenated and want to continue volunteering my time to help those in needs.

3. Get started in my career path (psychiatrist) and find a job or internship that will help me along the way. Currently I’m looking if I can help with a research position at Holy Cross with professors during the summer and I’m excited to see what I can do to help!

(4. Post more on this blog.. and add the ton of pictures I took on my phone to the blog.. haha..)

All in all, I’m ready for the semester to start, but I’m really excited to continue on with life and to see what the “real” world is, being on my own is fun and all, but in many ways I still feel a bit restricted so I’m going to work on getting ready for when I’m really “on my own”.

What are your New Years resolutions? Have a question? Just ask me! and if I get any I’ll make a Friday blog answering your questions!
