2012: not resolutions – joe/frank

These were Joe/Frank’s not resolutions for 2011

  1. Get an average for my subjects >80
    NOT ACHIEVED – started the year extremely well and then sloth and resting-on-laurels took over

  2. Be a better guitarist
    NOT ACHIEVED – the guitar has been long packed away

  3. Get my licence
    NOT ACHIEVED – if only we had seen this

  4. Try and actually buy presents for birthdays/Christmas
    PARTIALLY ACHIEVED – he did buy souveniers from Noumea for the other fam

  5. Prove responsibility for outings
    ACHIEVED!! – been extremely trustworthy this year and good to know that his pals look out for him

==============

And this year we have:

  1. Spend less time on internet
  2. Stick to deadlines for ‘draft’ submissions and study timetables
  3. Make my French better
  4. Be less surly
  5. Be more co-ordinated

2012: not resolutions

Slightly later than usual, but as is the the usual practice around these parts, is not resolutions1 time again!

Looking back upon last year, I realise that I was planning to document our 10 year not resolutions, but that little project (like so many other projects) was a bit of a fizzer – will see if I can coerce/bribe the participants into … ermmm … participating, but somehow don’t like my chances.

1 those things we might like to vaguely consider doing during the year, but then again, no pressure if we don’t.
