As jaded and cynical as I have become, I can't help but feel a little excited at the beginning of a new year. It feels like a fresh start...time to try new projects. My favorite new project has always been reinventing myself. I'm selfish that way.
This year I plan to lose some weight, be a better friend, and do more of what I love to do.
I'm rethinking the whole master's degree thing, because it takes up so much of my time. It would mean a salary increase and an ego boost; the elitist in me likes having more degrees than other people. But teaching isn't my only true love. I want to have more time for self selected reading, doing improv, painting, writing, exercise. Since I'm starting to figure out that this is my only life, I have to make time for these activities somehow, and the way to do that is to cut out some other activity. Plus, university credits are not cheap.
I would love to cut out the activity of "work". Employment is the bane of my existence. Just think of how much time we would have to pursue happiness if it weren't for that dreaded job.

Hoo-ah. I think that was from an Al Pacino movie, but you know what I mean.
