Ahh 2009 has begun! No way it can be worse than 2008 (knock on wood). Anyway I’ve got some New Year’s resolutions with a NH twist…here goes.
1. Run the Stratton Faxon New Haven 5K RoadRace in < 30 minutes.
I’ve been running/jogging for just about a year now. I’ve completed 3 official 5K’s. The first of which was on Labor Day. This year at the same race I’d like to post a time under 30 minutes. Really for this resolution I’d like to just say lose 30lbs. But that’s too generic…so I’ll just say I’d like to improve my 5K time knowing that in order to do so I’m gonna need to get rid of some excess baggage.
2. Destroy my Quals
So now I’m a year and a half into grad school. I’m done with classes and that means it’s working in the lab full time. My goal is for the next few works to buckle down and get some serious work done and accomplish some bad ass results. Before the fall I have to pass my qualifying exam which consists of a presentation on the aims I will hope to accomplish in my thesis in the years to come. I’d like in the next few months to stay focussed on why I’m here – and that’s to do some hardcore BMEing and not be so consumed with distractions as I sometimes am. I do really love what I do and although transitioning into working in the lab independently has been somewhat of a challenge I want to vow to give it my all to rise to the occassion.
3. BLOG MORE
I know everyone has missed my brilliant insight…so lastly I want to make it more of a priority to put up some more posts more consistently. I know the last post was a huge digression from my normal witty self…and I won’t lie these past few weeks have been kind of a trying time for me personally. I’m not saying I’m giving up oversharing altogether in this space but I want to get back to why I started this whole thing – to bitch about New Haven, share my insights on pop culture and obviously discuss hobos.
So with that I wish everyone a happy and a healthy 2009.
