New Year's resolutions

So the year 2007 has come to an end, and I have just started a new blog. Coincidence? Probably. But as I am returning to Denmark and moving into a new flat, this is a bit of a milestone to me. So it is natural to take a little time to consider what to do with my life in the closest foreseeable future, what to try to accomplish in the next years time or so, or my New Year's resolutions if you want.

1. While I was in Australia, I also had a blog. Or - that might be an overstatement, as I only wrote a single real post during my entire stay. So this time will I try to be more diligent. Now simply writing more posts is a quite unambitious goal, so let us say, I will post at least once a month. There is no reason to get too ambitious the other hand.
   
2. Last year I also suffered a number of injuries:
   
• In the middle of December (2006) I had a crash with a truck on my bike and suffered a severe concussion, a couple of broken teeth, and a sprained wrist.
• In the early spring I sprained my right ankle pretty badly causing my foot to turn nicely purplish blue on the affected side, and it was really painful to walk.
• Later I started getting pains in my right knee when I ran. (In all probability a "runner's knee") I had experienced something similar in the fall with my left knee and figured that a the exercises I had used to get over that could be used here again. Now, the first had simply been caused by overuse - this second was probably caused by the reduced support from my ankle. So although the exercises did have a beneficial impact, they didn't address the underlying problem. So the injury kept popping up again later.
• A month or so before departing to Australia I hit a kid on his scooter on my bike and broke my right arm/wrist. Obviously, a fracture in a joint is not very pleasant, and I have still not attained full stability in it. So it is sometimes painful to push or lean with/on it.
So this year, I will strive very hard to not get injured again, but rather finally get over all my old injuries. So I need to be more careful when riding my bike and exercise more focused. I should probably also see my GP for an opinion on which course of action to take.

3. After being away an entire semester I definitely also have some catching up with my friends to do. Oh, I won't start listing all the things, I have missed doing with them - I won't be able to remember all of them. Analogous, I need to keep in touch with my new friends from Adelaide - something I have formerly been pretty bad at.
   
4. Then there is obviously all the ordinary - eat more healthy, study more diligently, spend less money, spread more love, procrastinate less, be more optimistic, so on, so forth...

I might add more later, when I think about them. But for now - "that's all folks". ;)

Happy New Year everyone, and again welcome to my new blog.
