All the cool kids are doing resolutions...

I don't really have any of my own though, having never been a resolution-y sort of person. Still, 2013 has been such an utter shitstorm of a year* for me that I feel like I ought to outline some of the ways in which I intend to make 2014 better:

Most important, I'm going to go back to grad school, even if I end up having to stay out for another semester and go back to Australia and jump through stupid timeconsuming expensive bureaucratic hoops sfdgkljdfglksdjfsldkfj oh please let that not happen
Grad work will be a 9-7 job**. After that I am not allowed to work, and must do other things like watch tv, play games, and generally enjoy myself and/or catch up on housekeeping
I'm going to aim to cook for myself more often than not. Which basically means that 4 out of 7 of both lunches and dinners will not be 'super delicious but expensive food from one of the food carts', 'taking out a piece of bread, spreading nutella on it and calling it dinner', or 'frozen/canned meal I bought from the supermarket'
Also on the subject of cooking, I'm going to aim for at least one new (to my cooking skills) dish a week
I'm going to stick with HabitRPG (I'd go on, but I already wrote a whole post singing its praises. Suffice to say it works for me)
I'll keep up the exercise regimen I started this year and hopefully improve on it

* There's been some good from all the bad, like getting on antidepressants and as a result discovering that my life doesn't have to suck, but that doesn't mean I have to pretend to enjoy the path I took to get there

** Not actually intending to work for 10 hours each day. More that all my work has to be done within work hours, and too bad for me if I have a deadline tomorrow but spent all day looking at pictures of cats. This is my attempt to implement this 'work-like balance' thing I keep hearing about
