I know theres only a scary few more weeks left of summer until i'm off to the big bad world of uni, but i still think it would be good to set some aims for myself. I feel that if i don't do this kind of thing i'll shrink into a pit of sleeping in, watching Jeremy Kyle/awful films, and eating crap.
1) I want to be able to read music a bit better before i go to uni (this is presuming i get the grades to get in). I feel so stupid playing the piano when i don't know any of the theory behind it. i don't want to continue being the person who learns songs of youtube. that's not the spirit of music is it?
2) I want to start eating healthier. okay, so everyone says they plan to do this. It seems so unrealistic when you look at it from this approach. Perhaps i shouldn't say "eat healthily", more like "don't cut your life short with crazy amounts of meat and a lack of fruit and veg". i need to cut down on bacon and eggs, to sum up.
3) Blog more. I haven't really done it for ages. Mainly because i look back and cringe at what i've written even months before. It's like an embarassing school diary, but that the whole world can read. I think i'm going to do it more though, just making sure at the same time that i don't write like a douche about my problems and be all wah.
4) learn to play a few songs on guitar. I'm hideous at guitar. I want to be one of those people who can do loads of things to a reasonable amount of skill. I don't see the fuss of being awesome at one thing.
5) Learn more geography, current events and general knowledge. If i'm going to go off to uni and start actually growing up i feel i'll need some knowledge of the world. I can just imagine myself at some posh dinner party, sneaking into the toilets to look up some topic in the news on my phone and then re-entering to join a debate, but still looking like an un-cultured fool.
6) Get fit. Kaj offered to take me jogging with her. I'll give it a try and see how fast i can make these little legs go. It's meant to be good for toning the legs and bum, and generally making you healthier :)
7) I might try those french audio tapes you can get free on itunes. i do miss french a lot.
