New Year Resolutions!

Returning from an all-too-rosy India trip straight back into the frigid winter of Waterloo, and being quickly surrounded by icy winds, heaps of snow, dull and depressing skies, workaholic grad students and grumpy professors; I feel like having been rudely awakened from a pleasant dream into cold reality. This awakening, along with a realization that I have a lot of things to do, and very little time to procrastinate, motivates me to write this piece of junk.

For someone with a self-confessed notoriety for procrastination, January 14 is somewhat early to jot down New Year Resolutions. That, and my disregard for the necessity of having such resolutions in the beginning of a not-so-special cycle of 365 days, add to the reluctance of writing this post. However, I felt like writing something, and this seemed to be a good topic to write on.

So, what do I resolve to do? For one thing, I seriously need to cut down on procrastination. I need to reduce the time I spend on watching youtube videos, reading random articles on wikipedia, chatting online and participating in pointless discussions on orkut. I need to work seriously on my research so that I can graduate by the end of Fall at least, if not by the end of Summer. I also need to find time (which I definitely would once I cut down on all the pointless activties mentioned earlier) to do constructive stuff outside research: reading books, watching good movies, writing on a regular basis. And I would blog more frequently. Twice a month, at least.

I guess that's all. Well it turns out to be shorter than I expected. I'll add more later if I can think of anything else.
