New year, new goals
My list of resolutions is, like most things in my life, ridiculously simple and yet annoyingly difficult.
I need - for health reasons that have not gone away since the last time, because that's what family histories are about - to drop 3 stone minimum, preferably more. It's a very attainable goal, I've done it before and know what I need to do. And that's the last you'll hear about my weight loss until I've attained that goal.
Spend more time in the library. I study far better there because of the lack of internets. So the plan is to hit the library for at least 2 hours each night after lectures. This leaves me with enough time to either be home for 9 or meet people for coffee in the evening.
Have a social life. I'm not doing what I did last year, which was pretty much work myself into the ground. This is not incompatible with the resolution above. With this in mind, I'd like to make it public knowledge that I have no weekend placements or obligations this year, until September. Want me, grab me, am much more grabbable this year. (Not least because of the extra blubber.)
Sleep. This is the biggest problem I've had since starting midwifery. I'm not going to be unrealistic and expect to be able to change overnight, but sleeping at least 6 nights in every 7 and getting at least 6 hours sleep each night I sleep is a vast improvement on where I am now.
There are some other things that I'd like to get sorted, such as that whole driving thing, but I think that's enough things to be working on with an end of year target.
