I have a list of goals pinned somewhere on my virtual wall on some website; on top of it is "make 2013 my best year yet". It's a pretty decent goal, since I only have to compete against 2012 as rest of the years were as uneventful as a parliament session (interesting if you like weird stuff, otherwise depressing as well as unproductive!). But considering 2012 was a pretty good one, it might take a little effort. So I have to list my achievements from last year to make it clear what I am competing against.
Last year I graduated. Pretty big, I know. I wasn't completely surprised (a little, maybe), but it has nothing to do with how I lived last year as all the credits were achieved the years before, and graduation just happened to fall in 2012. So no big deal.
I got my first full time job. Again, I waited till graduation to apply for a full time job, so that's kinda linked to it. And I quit anyway.
I got my second full time job. Now, it has been said that those who can't do, teach! I don't know if it's generally true, but in my case it is. I find teaching easy, you just have to tell others stuff and they'll believe you. You get to exaggerate stuff ( recently I have been getting pretty good at that) and get away with it. You have power, and for a short guy like me to boss around athletes who look like truck, and sometimes talk like one too, it is very very satisfying. And most important of all, you get plenty of time off to daydream, though they call it planning for the session.
My college is so famous I am sure you would've heard of it. Pretty much every kid who goes to my college spends his/her holidays to convince others in his/her hometown not to apply for it, calling school or jail. Personally I don't see what the fuss is all about: freedom is often overrated.
I also gained a lot last year. I calculated, and it turned out to be around ten kilos. Not an achievement, I know, but I was running out of things to write and I don't want my first post of the year to look so short.
Anyway, 2013 is going to be different, mainly because I earn a little now, a huge advantage if you want to do something. And though I cannot say the same about my will power, my confidence has definitely improved since joining this institute. That, I hope, is a sign of good things to come. And if they don't, I sure will have an interesting year anyway.
Considering the fan following I have, I might have to claim later that I asked it rhetorically, but I'll ask it anyway.
So, how was your 2012?
