I got to go home for the holidays and one of the most undesirably parts that I hate about being home is how slow the internet connection is. But what I didn’t realize it at the time was how much I got done online. It was an odd paradox, since slow connection to the information super highway (does anyone call it that anymore) would normally equal death to all productivity and multitasking, but I soon learned that it was just the opposite. To cope with the slowness of my DSL line at home I started to choose where I visited a bit more meticulously knowing full well that if I choose something that I didn’t like and started clicking on an absurd amount of links it would just equate to me watching that little spinny thingy in my Firefox tabs spin over and over and over again. I was able to finally catch up on the awesomeness that is The Daily WTF and read up on the beauty that is of the new Core i7 from Intel (AMD too?) and it is sweet. So if you think that having a “slow” internet connection means certain doom and gloom, don’t, think of it more of a blessing in disguise.

The new year is fast approaching and is much more important to me and my family than Christmas ever was. I was never into the whole New Year’s resolution, improvement *blah, blah, blah*, but I feel like I should really set new goals for the new year and actually accomplish them. So here it goes, in order of priority
- Find a job I love
- Putting myself out there
- Meet more new people by myself
- Meet new people
- Actually save a decent amount of money by spending less on my beloved tech gadgets
- Catch up with old friends
- Be more fluent in my family’s native tongue, Vietnamese
- Program something I am actually proud of
- Read much more
- Write much more unique content
- Using my computer much less
The top one will probably involve moving out of NYC, which I am perfectly fine with since that would help to accomplish goals 2-4. In regards to goal 7, I am already set to take Vietnamese language class for the first half of the year, which I am extremely psyched about. Goal 4 will probably be the hardest, since I decided I want to build a new gaming desktop and a few other items, but we’ll see how this all goes. Goal 8 is a work in progress with a friend and is in its beginning stages, but the hardest part is actually getting things done. If all else fails, I’ll just buy an unlocked G1 and go to town with it. Last goal will probably never happen (I love the interwebs too much), but one can hope… So here’s hoping I accomplish at least one of these goals.
So graduation is fast approaching and I have to figure out what I am going to do with my life after graduation. Currently my plans are as follows:
Step 1: Graduate
Step 2: asdofjasoidjf;as
Step 3: …
Step 4: ?
Step 5: Figure out what to do with my life
So yeah, I am pretty confused at the moment. I have thought it over many times over, but still unsure with which path to take in life. I hope to figure this out soon, since I graduate in less than two months. Grrr…
