2008 New Year’s Resolutions: Resolved?

Filed under: Reflection — Tags: , , , — Ben @ 9:24 pm

In the dying embers of 2008, it’s time to evaluate whether my New Year’s Resolutions (NYRs) were fulfilled. So, here goes.

Now remember, I usually don’t make NYRs simply because I don’t get round to them much.

1. Blog/write more. Well, I’ve kept up this blog, and my other social networks. I could have done more but, owing to how busy I am, I think I’ve done pretty well. Yes!

2. Earn/save more money. In July, I quit my computer shop job to focus on the HSC. I’ve already bought all the stuff I want, so now is the time to save. Also ties in the financial crisis in recent times. Yes!

3. Build my social profile. Over the past year, I’ve said to myself that you need to gain respect. I think I’ve done that quite a bit this year. I’ve improved communications with others and have been a bit more flexible with outings. Yes.

4. Get out more. Not really. I’ve only done walking and lawn bowls. No.

5. Do well at school. Sort of. Next year is the HSC. Every bit will count towards that mark. ?

So 3 out of 5 NYRs successful. Not bad for someone like me who doesn’t like to set NYRs. You’ll have to see tomorrow whether I will set them for 2009.

After Europe

Filed under: Reflection — Tags: , , — Ben @ 3:52 pm

Apologies for the lack of posts for a month. I blame the Europe tour for that.

Yes, that’s right. I have just come back from a 20 day tour of Europe and the UK with the Barker Choir and Orchestra. I could write on for ages, but I think that it is best captured in photos. Below is the set of photos from my flickr page.

There are more photos to come; I still have not fully uploaded the best images.

There will be a new Chat soon to recount the last month or so. Thanks so much for supporting and reading!
