| promettre |
promettre :: to promise (je te promis)
new year's resolutions
- try my best at school :: flashcards, study, the lot - i am so lazy, and will leave all study til the last minute, so i promise to study a loooong time beforehand and to do that nightly recap of all lessons that Heidi 先生 keeps telling us to do.
- exercise at least twice a week except maybe in testing week - i know, i know, nay, i should exercise more in testing week, so i'm not so stressed, but i seriously think i won't have time to do anything other than study then. i am such a lazy bum, that i know i have to make a resolution just so i will do it. and exercise comes hand in hand with eating well and being healthy all over, cos you'd feel bad if you exercised and then pigged out on chocolate.
- don't stop going to yf :: don't skip yf for school - yep, same resolution as last year. and i think i did it pretty well... don't remember a time when i skipped yf for school, although do remember studying at yf before testing week. *shrugs* at least i was there. better than the other option mum gave me - staying home from yf 'cos apparently we don't do that much at yf. meh
- don't do anything idiotic (don't make stupid decisions) :: especially with regards to guys - me acting on my instincts means that often i don't make the right decision, just what i want, which is bad.
- try my best to change chapel services, not altogether, just make them more interesting - at the moment, people are falling asleep in services and they don't know how things are relevant to them, i just want to show them that being a christian isn't about following rules, or about rituals, and bowing, and hymns, and candles... it's about a personal relationship with God, that's more fulfilling than any other you can have.
- stop being selfish and listen more than i talk - God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason. and i think that when i'm stressed and need to talk to someone about something, i'm very me focused. and that's bad. and i really do need to work on just listening and not offering advice.
- read newspaper at least once a week - AST this year! argh!!! got to keep up with current news. mann...
- practice piano at least once a day - unless (of course) like lynn says... inconceivably impossible, ie. testing week... man... i'm stressing about testing week and the year hasn't even started.
- put 100% in everything - i tend to do things i don't want to do half-heartedly, and that's sooo not gonna work this year. and i tend to dawdle too. and grumble. and scowl.
- even when grumpy/tired/whatever, learn to put happy mask on to mostly everyone - some people i just can't pretend to... i.e. the people who read me like a book. but happy mask to everyone else... yay!
- do not miss any SC meetings or SCC practices (wake up extra early on Friday & Thursday mornings) - i make a commitment, i keep that commitment. *nods*
- make sure exoweek and house happen. that means pestering Mr Harris, Miss Just, Mrs Godfrey and SUIS - man... i hate pestering people. but i will make this happen. *resolute face*
- bake/cook/whatever for yf at least once a term (you know it makes you happy, even if only for a day) - the things i do for you guys...
- don't take advice/constructive criticism badly. don't take patronising personally - smiley face! :D

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, in your name I will lift up my hands
