  I turned 29 yesterday. I don’t feel any different, but why should I right? I’m only one year away from the big 3-0! It just seems too strange to me since I look like 22.  At least that’s what my students tell me.  And I don’t feel like a 29-year old either.  It just makes me more aware of time though. I can’t believe it’s January 2010! It actually makes me feel nuts inside. Time really flies. I’ve also realized that there’s really no point in making New Year’s resolutions. I don’t keep track of them anyway, but for fun, let’s take a trip back to January 2009, and see what I thought I could accomplish:

  1.  Blog more.  I completely and miserably failed this. I believe I’ve blogged less this year than I’ve ever blogged before. I don’t exactly know why.

  2.  Keep my room clean.  It’s hard after a long day or a long week to put away things where they belong. Things and clothes just pile up. So, I failed this as well although I try to make an effort and clean at least once a month.

  3.  Go to bed by 11:00pm on a school night.  I think the break messed me up so I’ve been sleeping past 11pm lately, but in 2009, I did go to bed by 11pm and many times by 10:30pm on a school night. YaY for me!

  4.  Delegate more.  I’m a way better boss now to my assistants. I actually have stuff for them to do so I won’t drive myself crazy doing everything on my own. I’ve especially been better about this school year. I don’t feel as overwhelmed as in the past years working here.

  5.  Go to church.  Roger and I go to the Arlington Street Church, but not consistently. It’s a UU church right next to the Boston Public Garden.  The last time we went was last month. I really like it. It’s actually nice to go on a Sunday before a full work week to peacefully sit in there with Roger and my thoughts.

  Not bad. So, here we are in 2010. Roger and I feel the excitement in the air. We hope 2010 will be filled with opportunities to explore new places and be the beginning of living on our own as husband and wife.

  On a side note: Yesterday,  I received a birthday card that a bunch of my students signed.  One of them wrote: Ms. Liu The World. That absolutely made my day.
