What To Do This 2021

I haven't made resolutions for the longest time as I rarely meet my own expectations but after 2020, I think it's time I set goals for myself.

First of all, I seriously want to pursue my Korean language lessons. I already have the books and everything but I'm just too lazy to do so on my own--especially when I hit a difficult portion. I guess my learning style is that I need someone to teach me vs teaching myself. More often than not, I get stuck at the particles and markers that I end up quitting. To think I bought some Korean children books as well so I can practice reading grade school level books. 

Last night, while waiting for the New Year, I watched the KBS Drama Awards live. I had a difficult time figuring things out as I was using context clues and I had to slowly read the captions. Took time for me to read Deurama as Drama. Next year, I hope to be able to watch the live streams without struggling. 

Next, hopefully, we can travel this year as I really need to visit my mom and sister in the US. Too many things have happened there especially with my sister being diagnosed with breast cancer and my mom and stepdad contracting COVID. I want to see and hug them both.

Third, I'm seriously considering continuing my bakery business. Will be doing some changes in my line-up next year. I'll certainly retain my Korean breads but might change the others. Or will be offering them at different dates. I haven't really thought about it but will definitely refine my operations. 

Fourth, be more patient with my kids. I want to develop my relationship with my eldest child who will turn 12 later this month. I can't believe I have a teenager already and I'm already having problems relating with him. He's always cranky (he takes after his dad) and I miss the sweet boy that he was before. 

Fifth, watch at least 50 Kdramas this year. I usually don't set a target but this year, I want to achieve that. 

Hwaiting!

Midterms

I'm happy to say that as early as the first month of this year, I surpassed my blog posts in 2013. When I saw how much I've neglected it last year, I resolved to post more this year and I think I'm making progress in that resolution.

Though it's too early to say but 18 days into the year, I'm still keeping with my one-rice-a-day project. I really hope I get to do this. If I can do it for a month then I can stay with it until the rest of the year. I'm planning to do it in tranches. Probably in a couple of months once my body is used to the level of carbs, I plan to cut down on sweets. And then oily stuff would go. Whew. I really hope I can do this!

The title of my post actually pertains to that day of the term where students are doubly nervous as this exam would be a big percentage of their final grade. It's also the middle of the term for me where I get to evaluate where I am with regards to the course.

It's only January yet I feel like a lot has happened already. We hit the year running and I think it's good for my health and soul (the stress is a good kind of stress). If I can literally run then that would better so I can lose all these excess weight.

Here's to the rest of the year and hope that I get to keep my resolutions and make most of my last 2 years as a 30-something.
