New Year 2011

Dear blog,

I have neglected you over the last few months and have treated you very badly. I have been a very bad boy. I am sorry. I have however, forgotten completely, the art of writing things down. In a world obsessed with being connected to everyone else, I have lost a vital connection to my feelings. Writing it down, especially to you, dear blog, was one of my favorite activities. I will first of all, get back to writing and reclaim my connection with you. I shall now continue with my actual blog post.

2010 has been a very eventful year. I have learnt quite a bit. I have grown emotionally. I am much more patient that I ever used to be. I have learnt the meaning of responsibility. I have learnt the meaning of irresponsibility. I have grown lazier. I have started losing track of time and the harsh schedules that I decided to impose upon myself. I am back to a position where I am almost a sinking boat again. Why does man have such an affinity for self-destruction? Maybe it is programmed in us. We do not grow without struggling.

These are my aims for 2011.

1) Finish my Prelim before the next New Year.

2) Run a full marathon this year and train religiously for it (Indianapolis - October) .

3) Change my schedule ( MOrning 7:00 - Evening 5:00) No late nights/night outs. The fact that I am writing this at 3 AM at night, 2 days late is proof that this is vitally important for my life.

I will also talk to you more often. Wish me luck.
