Resolute

I was going to write some nice, boring New Year’s resolutions, and the first one that came to mind was “I will not procrastinate”. Well, we all know THAT will never happen, so I came up with something a little different instead…

I hereby resolve, in this New Year of 2010, to procrastinate by the following methods (in no particular order):

1.) Finish organizing and editing my photos… and perhaps work on deleting a few for a change.

2.) Update my blog more often with random and/or trivial bits of information and observations.

3.) Write meandering notes to friends and family back home.

4.) Have coffee or go out for tapas with friends around Madrid.

5.) Type up all those quotes I have scribbled on scraps of paper.

6.) Translate my thesis into English.

7.) Learn to cook something out of the ordinary… like fresh crab.

8.) Try to publish a short story or two.

9.) Take a couple day or weekend trips around parts of Spain I haven’t been to yet.

10.) Keep wandering around Madrid until I know it by heart!

An actual update with my trips to Lisbon and Minnesota, as well as some more crazy weather in Spain and a few travel fiascos, will be forthcoming, along with accompanying photos--just as soon as I start procrastinating!

Happy New Year,
Mary
