2012 Goals

Decided to write a more positive blog after Brandon noted I have a trend to write with a considerably obvious negative slant. I guess that's just my unfortunately gloomy outlook on life, but in the spirit of making a change and all that jazz here's a blog devoted to all the good I want to achieve this year. First of all, the same old goal everyone has every year, including myself, which I think I've done alright with for the last two years and that is for me to continue along the health and fitness pathway to achieving a great body and being my personal best. Cristiano Ronaldo (the male in the picture above) is pretty much the dream looks-wise and body-wise, and so he should be - he's an Armani model now! If I was to ever have a body of my choice, his would be it! Though let's be honest that is like 4-hours a day training, full-time sportsman type stuff so is never going to realistically happen with my budget, time constraints and motivation. However it's not bad to have some inspiration on my bad days and he's certainly someone to motivate you to getting to the gym. I included the picture of Megan Fox for female readers looking for some inspiration, which I know can often just make yourself feel more insecure but in the spirit of this blog look at her as aspirational. No one "just has" that body, she works for it (even if she's rich etc, she still works for it) and likewise with the body you want. If it wasn't a struggle it wouldn't be worth having. Other goals are obviously study, which I guess is the most important path in my life right now. Heading back to Wellington to attend Victoria University for my 2nd year of studies, potentially only one more to go afterwards but it does seem likely I'll do an extra year. We'll see how things go. It's exorbitantly expensive and I'd be willing to bet the cost would outweigh the benefit, and it certainly outweighs it's utility. (god I wanted to throw an economic term in there - Brandon will tell me if its usage was correct or not) Studying media, film and Japanese this year - decided to drop theatre, so hopefully that goes well. I'm going to not be so slack and work harder and just generally stay on top of things. I struggle terribly with procrastination, so I'd really like to buckle down and pick up a better study-ethic as it's never been my fine-point. Social life and relationships are also, obviously, an important part of the circle of life, and family obvz but that's pretty much spoken for, no huge dramas there. Will do my best to keep everyone happy in those fields by just generally making the effort, keeping up communication and trying to achieve a sense of balance by keeping myself organised. I will need to make sure things are planned and organised, especially flatting this year for the first time - so will have to liase with flatmates re: groceries, cooking, cleaning etc. God knows the costs and realities of this year but won't know until I get there 'til I'm honest. Not going to lie - I'm terribly excited. 2011 was a flawless year at Weir House that I would never have given up for anything, but 2012 is also showing a lot of promise. Bring it all on.
