I made a resolution last year. That resolution was inspired by the failure to meet my 2006 resolutions. Again I failed to meet that single resolution. D'oh! So firstly please, Dear Constant Reader, accept my sincere apologies!
This year I have "plans". I've seen a 1 year course at Birkbeck, University of London for a Social Policy Certificate of Higher Education. I plan to apply for it and then if I am successful and I find it enjoyable (after all we don't want to run before we can walk) I can use it as credit towards a B.Sc., i.e. an actual university degree. Birkbeck is famous for being an evening university so it shouldn't interfere with my work. And I should be able to afford the course even without assistance from my Mum plus I can see there's a few Government grants I might be able to make use of... I need to get my taxes back somehow!
I will try not to hate my job so much in the meantime.
I will try to lose some weight but I make no promises. :( It's hard... chocolate is so yummy, alcohol so tempting and takeaways so easy.
I need to keep to the budget I set out in November... fingers crossed!
And this blog. 2007 was a crap year in terms of quality on this blog. I am so sorry! I will try to rectify that and get back on track!
2008... here we come!
Happy New Year, Jae and Jim.
ReplyDeleteJack and I had a very quiet celebration and so did the neighborhood. I heard a string of firecrackers go off way past midnight but not another sound after that. We ate black eyes peas with our dinner -- a New Year's tradition here in the American South -- for good luck in the year ahead.
Best of luck, Jae, with the course at Birkbeck, you know how I feel about getting more education! (Broken record...)
Gostei muito desse post e seu blog é muito interessante, vou passar por aqui sempre =) Depois dá uma passada lá no meu site, que é sobre o CresceNet, espero que goste. O endereço dele é http://www.provedorcrescenet.com . Um abraço.
ReplyDeleteThe quality of your blog was fine in 2007 as it was in all previous years.
ReplyDeleteI stop by here a few times a week so it has to be good sweetheart. Indeed, I'm deleting people from my Live Journal blog so i can dedicate more time to reading outside blogs like this one (at the moment I read LJ friends a few times a day and outside blogs like this 3 or 4 times a week and I need to readdress the balance)
Keep it up Jae
James x
You are too kind!
