New years resolutions

So I got around to making a list of New Year's resolutions. These pretty much apply only to the next eight months, until JET is up -- but then again, who can honestly say they keep a new year's resolution past that time, anyway?

Usually it is traditional to make some kind of resolution about health and diet -- eat less, exercise more -- but honestly, I bike at least 10km a day, every day, and there's just not very much junk food in Japan to eat. The only health-related resolution I could come up with was "Don't get scurvy."

So --

1. Start studying Japanese again
