Goodbye 2006, Hello 2007

I update this blog so infrequently that nearly every time I do bother to write something, I want to start with "It's been a long time since I've posted...". Well that is kind of boring and pointless, so I won't do that this time hehe. It has been over two months though since I've posted anything, and a lot has happened in these two months. I had my last ever exams as a student, I went on a road trip with my gf around the south-east coast of Victoria, I graduated, I went to Hong Kong for ten days, and I went on a cruise with my family to New Caledonia and Vanuatu.

Also, in a bit over two weeks time, I will be starting my working life. I look forward to the regular income and not having to study as much, but the long hours and paper-pushing shitwork that is part of being an intern isn't as appealing. But it should be a good experience and I do hope to learn a lot of things.

Soon it will be 2007 and the topic of NY resolutions again rears its head. My previous resolutions have not been overly ambitious in my opinion, yet I don't think the resolutions were achieved or maintained. This article shed some light as to why that may be so. The author of the article believes that change rarely, if ever, is achievable as "problems" are part of ones make-up and not amenable to change. But I still think that the desire to change, to improve oneself, to strive to learn from ones failings, is a nobel intent and one worth at least the effort of drawing up a NY resolutions list. Even if it doesn't go much further than that :)
