New Year's Resolutions

Like so many people around the world, I think a new year means a chance to change.  Of course alot of the resolutions that we all tend to make never really come to light, but hey...why not still give it a shot?  This year, not only do I want to better myself as a person or hope to get a job to get my foot into the working world--and to get money to see my favorite foriegn artists--but I also plan to truly start learning Japanese and Korean beyond the basic phrases that I know.  As of now, I do not know how the grammar structure of either language is set up nor do I know enough of their vocabulary.  I can recognize Korean symbols (hangul), but I'm having trouble pronouncing them.  In turn I can pronounce Japanese a bit better, but I cannot read the symbols (hirigana, katakana, kanji) save for a slight few.  I do have a few books that may help, but it's just a matter of not being lazy and setting up time each day to study until I can acutally get into a classroom setting that teaches these two languages.  It'd probably be good if I did a refresher for Spanish as well because I've forgotten a good chunk of it.  I'm also thinking about learning Chinese, but that might have to come a bit later.  ^^ 

Aside from learning languages my sister, a friend, and I will be attempting to do dance covers to Kpop and Jpop.  We've already decided on three so far.  The first one is SNSD's "I Got a Boy".  Next, my sister and I will attempt SISTAR's "Ma Boy".  And the last will be Perfume's "Spice".  If you've seen the videos for any of these, you'll see that they have at least some level of difficulty, and if you're not a dancer--like me--it'll be way beyond your level.  I can't even do a body wave correctly without it looking like I'm having an uncontrollable spasm attack.  But I'm still working on it.

Well, wish me luck!  Peace out.

  1. I think this is very nice and inspiring! This post reminded me that it's a new year indeed and that we should all try to do better or, at least, do our best! \O/ I want to (have to) work on my languages too ^__^ Fighting Maddie!
