Wilkommen Sie, 2004!!

oh hello! it is a belated welcome, but a welcome nevertheless. as you dip cautiously into the pool of chronological history, be sure to stick by the following rules:

1) bring along with you more events of joy than sadness, more peace than war
2) take away with you less lives - instead, welcome more, and finally,
3) don't plunge straight in. take your time to enter the water bit by tiny bit. or else, before you know it, 2005 will be upon you.

this year i wish to accomplish the following:

1) get into a good taiwan university (preferably National Taiwan University)
2) not lose any friend due to lack of correspondence
3) DILIGIENTLY DO ALL SCHOOL WORK and utilize effectively all economics periods for the studying of math in chinese
4) learn a useful skill. any skill.
5) continue practising german, piano, and other instruments (of which german is not)
6) tone uppity up. (yes, december was awful)
7) buy a french bikini and WEAR IT OUT (notice the relation between 7 and 8)
8) maintain flexibility
9) GET SCOOTER LICENSE (oh yeah baby)
10) legally purchase alcohol. (getting flat drunk is optional)
11) gather up courage to do something that ive wanted to do for a long time, but never had the heart to do... (maybe jie you know this)
