It's getting pretty far into the year, but I still hadn't really decided on my New Years resolution. It's a tricky business picking a resolution that's really worthwhile. Initially my resolution was going to be that I would be more of a minimalist. After moving around quite a bit and living without a lot of personal items for a while I came to realise: you really miss very few of the things that you think are really dear to you. So I thought being a minimalist is a pretty good idea. It keeps you from accumulating too much useless stuff that you don't need and it makes it easy to move around. But then my roommate said she thought I already was a minimalist and being more minimal would just be weird. So ok, not a good resolution.

Next up: be more of a risk taker. What kind of risks? Well, just general riskiness in all aspects. But that didn't seem like such a great resolution either.

Then: be more flexible, in the sense of muscle flexibility. That's a pretty good one, but it's kind of a small goal for a New Years resolution. I do sports anyway, so putting in more stretching isn't a big deal.

Finally, the solution: make full use of what BC has to offer. My goal is to spend two weekends a month taking advantage of something cool that BC has to offer. I'm thinking mainly the outdoors here. So far I'm doing pretty good, I've been skiing twice in January. :-)
