i guess science is kind of cool.

What the hell, man. Friday night is boring.
Looking forward to returning to UBC – I think I can survive 4 more days of constant Big Bang Theory intertwined with the occasional 100-page speed-read of the ‘booklist’ I attempted to finish this winter break.

That was a long and poorly structured sentence, I know, I know.

But hey, since I’m bored (as I generally find myself lately), I’ll come up with a preview of my fabled New Years Resolutions, redux 2012.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS (OR SHIT THAT I WILL SAY AND ULTIMATELY NEVER LIVE UP TO) 

1.) Listen to more music. 
Granted, I already listen to a lot of music and update my library extensively on the go, I’d like to sit down and appreciate music. Just pick up and album and do nothing but listen (and maybe read). This year, despite finding many new albums, bands, etc., I haven’t actually sat down and purely enjoyed music very often. I usually just let it go in the background whilst hastily working on my IR analysis or pondering over multi-variable class (RIP MATH200).

2.) Get (more) fit.
I quit smoking. HOORAY! I can’t believe I actually did it – it’s only been 13 days so far but I’m going strong, and will beat it. Granted, this is the first real attempt I’ve made at stopping smoking, I hope I don’t relapse and start sucking on those cancer sticks any time soon (here’s looking at you, exams). Ever since quitting, I’ve gone running every night. It feels amazing; I can feel my lungs again, and fuck, did I ever take them for granted. Here’s to actually sticking to running a lot (maybe not every night) and keeping up this newfound feeling of freedom from nicotine!

3.) Actually do shit off campus. 

I don’t get off campus as often as I should, so here’s to going out more – hopefully not solely to get wasted at some less-than-trashy bar (we can do this, Trevor).

4.) Write a novella.
Why the hell not.

5.) Rock the Casbah, academically.
Going for a 90+ percent average this semester. Can I? Oh hell yes. Will I? Oh hell yes. Really, I need it, though. Med schooooooooooooooool.

6.) Get in to volunteer, and get out of my lowly apartment.
Want: to volunteer at St. Pauls. Need: to get off my lazy ass and actually do it.

Ta da!
Let my impromptu resolution list shock and amaze you.
