The saying is true… “It’s nothing like home!” I am finally back home after two weeks at the in-laws. No matter how nice it is to stay with the in-laws and how accommodating they are, it just doesn’t feel like home – the feeling of personal space just isn’t there. Also, saying it is 2007 is just weird, it may take me a while to get used to it, I am still stuck in the 90s.

Decided to write down some of my resolutions/ goals for the year. Here are 6 realistic ones …

- To sleep earlier, have been making a habit of sleeping at 1.30 or 2 am and getting about 4-5 hours of sleep a day. No wonder I am always tired!

- To lose some weight… maybe about 5-10 pounds or so. Ideal weight — between 160-165.

- Eat better, cook at home more and not eat out too much. No Wendy’s and McDonalds (or at least try not to eat there as much)! Not only will I save money, it’ll be healthier for me and will help fulfill my previous resolution.

- 4 courses, 12 credits left for my Masters. Will try to complete it this year.

- Finish writing my book (and get it published) by June this year. I have been writing an engineering reference guide (started in the later half of last year) but stopped doing it in the final 3 months due to other commitments.

- Be happier and have a brighter outlook on life!

I’ll probably have more goals as the year goes by but I think this is a good start.
