The Boundary Value Problem of Genomics

The Year That Was And What Will Be

So 2011 was a strange year.  It was a year that I was simultaneously selfish and swept up in others’ lives.  I think for 2012, I will try to be less selfish, but I will also not allow others to dictate my existence.  This will be difficult, as I love the path of least resistance.  It’s so wide and smooth, and well taken.  But, I think with some maturity, I make my own road. 

The theme for 2012 is Becoming A Grownup.  In which I resolve the following:

1. Be more politically active.
2. Listen more; talk less.
3. Run a 5K.
4. Meet some people older than me.
5. Eat out less often — especially not eating at sandwich shops (I love sandwich shops, but it’s silly to have them make me lunch when I can easily make my own sandwich).
6. Get a raise.*
7. Go on 1 internet date.  At least to write about the experience.*
8. Write more.
9. Stop contacting people from the past.
10. Travel outside the United States.*

* OK these 3 may not happen.  They are more like hopes than resolutions.
