I worked both New Year's Eve and Day so...yeah. Didn't do anything special. I did stay up past midnight but not to watch the ball drop or fireworks or what have you. I was reading. XD I don't think I've ever done anything in particular for New Year's.

Resolutions...I don't make them because I'm part of the 99.9% of the population that will not keep them. As far as I'm concerned it's just idle talk to try and convince ourselves we will have a better year.

I do set goals for myself, however. Yes I know, they're almost the same. Almost. Having a goal to work towards is to me very different from a hastily made promise that will be ignored and willfully forgotten after the party's over.

My goals this year aren't much different from the standing goals I've had for months and have already been working on. The only difference is that I make them quantifiable and therefore accountable.

I. Read more. Specifically, I am aiming to read a minimum of 52 books.
II. Write more. At least 100,000 words of fiction by the end of the year.
III. Continue learning how to cook. By the end of the year I want to be cooking at least one meal for myself every day. This includes baking some sort of snack or dessert once a week.
IV. Personal fitness. A minimum of 90 minutes of exercise per week to start, working my way up to double that by the end of the year.
V. Learn a new skill. Doesn't much matter what, even if it's just something small. Changing my own oil, for example.
