resolve

i suppose it's resolution-making time again. i doubt i've ever actually taken a new year's resolution seriously and consciously followed through on it, but it seems like a good idea to at least make a few small aspirational statements and hope that they will somehow influence the choices i make during the year.

so here we go: resolutions 2007!

(1) start taking a multi-vitamin (again)

(2) write and publish a real law review article

(3) take belly-dancing classes (don't make fun! it's really good exercise -- strength, flexibility, and cardio - and seems to come from a similar philosophic tradition as yoga. and dancing to music seems way more fun than regular boring exercise.)

(4) take some kind of language class

(5) try to be less unpleasant to the people i care about

(6) be less anti-social!!!!!! don't be scared to call up people i don't know and invite them to hang out. i am lovely and charming and smart and funny. most anyone would be happy to be my friend. (i think. but it's better to operate on that assumption than on the opposite assumption.)
