Tomorrow I find out if I get into UNSW, potentially changing my life drastically. The fact that I'm incapable of keeping my own secrets to myself means that if I don't get in, I'll going to have to repeat my sad news a lot, which I'm not looking forward to. Hopefully I won't have to.
Also, I think my social anxiety's been playing up a bit lately. Let's see how many people I'll alienate myself from this year...

2013
Happy New Year! And it's that time again; resolutions. I know every year I (and I'm sure a lot of others) promise they'll stick to their new years resolutions after not following through with them the year before. All I want to say now is that "I really mean it this time!" but I know that's a worn out statement too. Nevertheless, it's true this time. Because I have a plan.
This year, instead of having my really big goals, I'm breaking it down into five smaller, more manageable goals each month. Since I didn't have any New Years Eve plans last night (or, rather, I had work at 8am today and so I didn't want to risk still being drunk/being incredibly hungover - a la this year's Christmas party) I already compiled my January goals. They're a bit all over the place, and I just thought of the idea that next time each of my goals should be a certain theme (eg family, fitness, creativity etc) so there's something I'll have to remind myself of in February! Coming back on track, here are my January goals:
1. Run 5km straight. Usually when I go on a treadmill I tend to fast-walk for a bit and then run, then fast-walk etc. Since I have the Color Run in mid-Feb, too, I might as well get practicing for it!
2. Lose 5kgs. Which is just over a kilo a week, which is fairly manageable. I've let myself get so out of shape, thanks to my ridiculous eating habits and the fact that I work in an irresistible chocolate factory..
3. Learn how to use Twitter and actually use it. I looked at my account the other day (@cahoki_) and all it has is my Fitocracy points!
4. Clean my room/desk and keep it clean. That's a tough one.
5. Save $1000. Actually I just looked at my bank account and I had more than I thought I did so I already transferred the first $250. So I'm a quarter of the way there!
I feel like, after having such a shit 2012, mentally, physically, emotionally, relationship-ally(???), that 2013 is my year to get motivated, organised, and really turn it all around. I plan for this year to be my year of reinvention. And I'm really excited for it.
