2009 Projects

January 9, 2009

There’s so many things to accomplish this 2009. I would do them because I have to; others I would do simply to bring some sanity back into my life. Maybe achieve some sense of normalcy one day.

  • Get my Canadian citizenship.
  • Launch my blog on the Classics (can anybody design this pour moi?).
  • Learn to speak French like a Parisienne.
  • Figure out a new professional path (to be determined, so I can’t talk specifics until I know more).
  • Save money.
  • POSSIBLY learn how to drive.

I am most excited about two and three. Classic novels are a passion of mine — I love researching about them, talking about them, reading them, and taking classes on them. Since it is highly unlikely that I will be able to find a reading group I would enjoy meeting with (like the Jane Austen Book Club) and my two online library groups are holding no fascination for me, I think it’s about time I just began a blog on it.

I welcome any suggestions for the first project.  Seeing that it would be the first however, please refrain from choosing ambitious novels — particular novels by Russian authors like Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, or Sholokov. Anything before the 1930s would be accepted.

Plans for 2010:

  • Go to Africa! Live the life of a volunteer for a few months — but that is pending whatever responsibilities I might have then. It can’t hurt to save up for that though.

I was thinking about going to the doctor for bloodtests and check-ups this January, but I don’t think I will anymore. It’s just not…necessary, I guess. Apart from this chest cold, I’m perfectly fine. Well, I don’t know that, but I FEEL fine. Maybe the whole PCOS thing was a figment of my doctor’s imagination. Or maybe I’ve cured myself.
