To do list

Well, it's Lunar New Year. And since both of the new year have pass, I guess this can't be delay any more. So this is a short review of last year "To do list":
  • Graduate from RMIT. --> DONE and over with, that part of my life is certainly behind me.
  • Get an internship in a good company and a job. --> Good internship: Maybe, at least I learn something from it: I don't want to work in-house. Good job: Time will tell, so far so good.
  • Buy a motorbike.--> Park down stair. Not the most glamorous or expensive but it haven't broke down after 10 months (which said a lot consider my driving + the accident I have been in) and the amount of time it almost crush me (surprisingly small), I'll say I'm happy with it.
  • Study GMIT or GRE.--> I'm considering it usefulness. I'll decide whether I need one later + I need to stabilize my working hours.
  • Find possible scholarship for a Master in Communication.--> Going nowhere yet, will be in this year list.
  • Start exercise often.--> Right, I need better motivation, maybe better alarm clock (Where did they sell these thing when at a certain time they drop a bucket of water on your head? After all the time it appear in cartoon and comic, somebody must have taken on the challenge). Will be in this year list, maybe under more step-by-step form.
  • More dance class.--> Done, score my friend a 9.5/10 in the final exam. Got voted Prom Queen in the process. :)
  • Study another language.--> Maybe it's time I take this one out of my to do list. OR find a place that teach Spanish. Yes, I have decide on the language I want to study next, if only I can get that "r" right.
3 DONE, 2 Maybe, 3 NOT DONE, I definitely need to step up my game this year. But so far, I am happy with what I achieve. At least I'm out of university and in the process, make some great friend that I really like to spend time with. And now, for this year to do list :
  • Get a promotion or two (plus some working experience along the way won't be so bad)
  • Exercise frequently (starting with a member card of the nearby pool)
  • Find possible scholarship for Master in Communication (and working toward them, I need more than working experience to win one of these)
  • Study Spanish (stop by some University and start asking about this)
  • Get loose at least once a month (at least I got a place I like to go to and get a drink. It start with S and end with n and it make great gin and tonic)
  • Save at least half of my salary.
  • Travel aboard.
  • Since it seems I can only think of 7 things I want to do next year (which is kind of sad, look like I'm just finishing up what I haven't been able to do and not taking on new thing) I put in another completely optional goal: GET A BOYFRIEND. I'm still trying to figure out the usefulness of a boyfriend so I'm not really putting my heart into it (that is if I'm putting anything into it at all). Beside, I eliminate this goal from an earlier to do list so I'm very unsure about this. But at least it's a new area that I haven't tried.
Well, good luck me. See you in another year. :)
