2007: Resolutions are for losers

Okay, not really, but I like what Dreama did over at Random Again, so I’m copying. I’ve never been really big on the whole resolutions thing, but I think it’s nice to think about things that may be coming ahead. So, in her words, “in 2007, I will do the following things. As always, these are not resolutions, they are just things I will do.”

1. Present at the PCA/ACA 2007 National Conference.
2. Read at least fifteen non-school books (hey, that’s progress!)
3. Become a GTA and teach intro courses on my own.
4. Revise one paper substantially and start submitting it for publication.
5. Regularly do academic work far enough in advance that I’m not stressed about it the week or two before it’s due.
6. Get a damn haircut.
7. Pester Deboleena for more awesome classic movie recommendations, like Metropolis, and watch them.
8. Probably watch more gorgeous, well-done but ultimately depressing lesbian flicks, like The Journey and Round Trip.
9. On the other hand, probably also watch my fair share of really terrible but cheerful lesbian films like Maggie and Annie.
10. Participate in making the 2007 Blogathon even bigger, better and hopefully much smoother than ever before.
11. Sell Albert, the new Toshiba.
12. Buy a new laptop, undoubtedly a Dell.
13. Write more, both academically and creatively.
14. Visit my family, with Big C, in Connecticut.
15. Play host to friends from all over the country, from Phoenix to Virginia

.

16. Most excitingly, perhaps… go to Las Vegas for the first time with a bunch of other friends to geek out and see the new Harry Potter.
