January? New year's resolutions, of course!

Resolution number one: will obviously lose 20 lbs. Number two: always put last night's panties in the laundry basket. Equally important: will find nice sensible boyfriend and stop forming romantic attachments to any of the following: alcoholics, workaholics, sexaholics, commitment-phobics, peeping toms, megalomaniacs, emotional fuckwits, or perverts [Bridgert Jones's Diary] ~ 2011, here we go ;)
Well, also if these were truly my new year's resolutions, it wouldn't really make any sense, because i very well know how little the chances of making them true are. The most possible is the second, putting last night's panties in the laundry basket. But also that one would need quite an effort, because it's so much easier just to throw them somewhere under the bed and then just pick them up next morning (or when sou're finally packaging your dirty clothes to take them home). Losing 20 lbs? Wouldn't be bad at all. And the end line? Meaningless to discuss at all.
So, when i found out that, despite all similarities and weirdness we do share, Bridget Jones's new years resolutions list wouldn't work for me (but could be a great inspiration and a list of things that wouldn't be bad to keep this year either), i decided to make another one. maybe it'll work better.
So, here we go. The Student's new year's resolutions' list:
1. Will keep a diary. Regularly, with no excuses, with no lies, just pure truth.
2. Will weight exactly 64 (instead of 75) kg by May 1st.
3. Will make all the exams with 8 or better and will not study just last three days.
4. Will finally start listening to the "Better self image" like tapes regularly and try to keep them.
5. Will try to keep the last one and a half lines of Bridget Jones's lists, despite knowing it's utterly unachiveable, saying stop forming romantic attachments to any of the following: alcoholics, workaholics, sexaholics, commitment-phobics, peeping toms, megalomaniacs, emotional fuckwits, or perverts. Will especially stop fantasizing about a particular person who embodies all these things, with huge emphasis on the parts in bold.
6. Will keep the new year's resolutions or, at least, do my best.
Can't wait to see if it works. Maybe 2011 is a bit magic, there's 11 in it after all, being my lucky number. And if the first few hours of the year anyhow predict the rest of it ... it's gonna definitely be the best year ever! I celbrated it with six of my girlfriends from secondary school, we made a really great and unforgettable evening in our appartment, cooking mulled wine, eating sandwiches, talking about everything and just having absolutelly marvelous time.  At about 11 p.m. we went out to the square where some music was playing, we watched the fireworks at 00.00, drank the champagne, made wishes, dance, sang ... Splendid! :)
