ם New Year’s Resolution

Posted on January 23, 2008 at 2:51 am

It’s the New Year. (Yeah, yeah, I’m 3 weeks late. So sue me.)

But this isn’t a post about resolutions for 2008. It’s a retrospective on my 2007 resolution.

I’ve always done fairly well academically, but during college I hadn’t ever had a perfect straight-A semester. Since I was going to graduate a semester early, 2007 perfectly contained the last two semesters of my college career, so I made my resolution on December 31st, 2006, that in 2007 I’d get a 4.0 one of those semesters.

Summer of 2007 rolled around, and I came close. Two A’s, two A–’s. 3.85 GPA. Close, but no cigar.

I was down to the wire with only one semester left. But I stuck the landing. Booyah.

2007 Resolution: Completed.

(2008 doesn’t have a traditional resolution, per se. It’s more of a curious project. More on that later.)

ם Breakfast of Champions

I’ve been having some unfortunate ear pain for the past, oh, two months, so I went to the doctor yesterday. This is now my breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bedtime snack:

Gotta catch ‘em all.

(For scale, the blue one’s about the size of a nickel.)

And I was again told by a doctor that I have a surprisingly high tolerance for pain. Booyah.
