Another New Year
by cfgt on Jan.01, 2009, under General
It's yet another new year, after another year of newfound knowledge and revelations. I didn't get into Honours year – but I have taken up two new hobbies – photography and speedcubing.
I made fewer resolutions in 2008, with intent of keeping some of them. Guess how many I did keep? One. Yet again, I did not finish my game engine. I didn't get a job – well, not a job in the strictest sense of the word. I did find work. I did indeed cook more – not much more than 2007, but enough to keep a lot of food money to myself. Considering how many PSP games came out this year (not many), I thought that it would be a bad idea to go wasting time trying to program for PSP since the platform was apparently slowing down.
This year – the goals are generally straightforward:
1. Get my photography up to scratch – I still suck at taking photos, be it visualizing photos, or even just getting shots with my ultrasharp 50mm prime.
2. Learn how to solve a megaminx – I'm quite sure this won't be too big a problem, but hey, you'd never know.
3. Get a job – Now that I've graduated and have decided to not study any more for a while, it's time to enter the working world and find a job. The economic downturn won't make this easy, but I certainly hope I'll be employed before the latter half of 2009.
4. Learn how to solve the 5x5x5 cube without a formula sheet – LOL.
5. Get my 3x3x3 solving skill into the sub-40 second range. (I'm now in sub-60.)
6. Put way more stories on Pressyo.
7. Study smarter! Work harder! Sleep more! (LOL)
