New Years 2008
Happy New Year folks. As usual, I’m just at home on New Years;
after being in Nashville for over a week, though, I’m not too upset
about it.Eid & Nashville…
Speaking of Nashville, though, everything went by pretty well.
Eid-ul-Adha was good, and I got to see much of my family. I didn’t get
to see the new baby, however, as she’s still in the hospital gaining a
little weight before being able to go home. She’s doing all right,
thankfully, so no worries.My sister got me something for Eid, too:
This isn’t the actual picture of it (mine is green). But, it’s
an Air Hogs helicopter. Sure, the thing is made of styrofoam and
plastic, but it still flies! I had an idea that if I ever got to go
back in a time machine, I would take this thing with me and visit
Leonardo da Vinci…Me: Hey Leo, check this out! (Flies toy helicopter around for a minute)
Leo: Fascinating! A flying machine!
Me: Yeah. You should draw a diagram of it or something.
Leo: Would you leave it here for reference?
Me: Nope, gotta run. You can draw it from memory, right?
I also got her Harry Potter 1, 3, and 5 on DVD, in return.
2007 in Review
Anyway, 2007 was a pretty good year. Over the year, I:
- Received a promotion
- Moved to a new desk (near the window)
- Started following cricket
- Made plans for the next few years
…eh, I suppose it doesn’t sound all that eventful. Oh well.
Resolutions
I do have two resolutions, though. Some realistic ones I might actually be able to stick to, at that:
1) Getting an average of 6 hours of sleep a night
During the weekdays I average about 5 hours, sometimes less, depending
on how difficult it is to get to sleep. This is mostly because I get to
bed around 2AM most days. I figure if I can just move it back, I’ll be
able to get in 6 hours and be more rested for the day.2) Updating my Xanga on average once a week
No, really, I can do this. No more whole months between updates. I got
enough to talk about, I’m just sometimes a bit… lazy with putting it
down.Anyway, that’s that. Until next week.
…no, really. KF
