New Year's Resolutions

I spent yesterday being entirely hedonistic and unashamedly kept on my festive season ‘ignorance is bliss” path by lounging in the pool with beers and ciders with Maddie, Steph, Rina and Ellie. We had a beautiful lunch and lots of fruit salad and late in the afternoon Rina asked us what our new year’s resolutions were. Usually I don’t bother with them because I’m slack or they’re just too fickle, things like “lose weight” or “read more”. This year though I felt a little more inclined to actually document something, not so much as inspiration but more so as a guilty list to actually keep me on track. So far it’s been a month of “yeah yeah next year is really when I tackle this whole ‘life’ thing head on” and low and behold next year is now 2 days away.

SKIP TO THE END: These are my new years resolutions in no particular order.
1. Get match fit and join a football team: I’ve wanted to do this since high school but I’ve always been to scared/unwell to actually join. This year I have no excuse because Monday night netball has reignited my fire for team sports and I’m insanely jealous of the Bye-Curious boys who get to play twice every week. I’m 99% sure the damned Ross River Virus has gone away and I’m still going to the gym a few times a week so yeah…no excuse. Subi FC let’s do this.
2. Get a job: der.
3. Learn more about football: I realised recently I know FA about the sport I love in a technical sense, and I’m sick of only being able to talk about last weekend’s round. I also want to be able to back myself up when I talk about soccer so there’s only one way to do that. Learn more. I started up a fantasy football team so I have to pay attention to other teams and players and be a bit more analytical.
4. Save money: I don’t do it at all. I need to start.

That’s pretty much it. I don’t want to set myself anything unreasonable because really and truly the whole job thing is the most important and that needs to be the focus now.

On a very exciting note I applied for my dream job on Tuesday! It’s a digital media officer with the Dockers and I’m absolutely desperate to get it. There are a few other jobs with the Dockers that I’m going to apply for as well which is exciting!
