A is for Apathy
The last year has been pretty hard going for me as I just haven't really cared about things long term. It's so easy to just fiddle about at work in front of the computer, fob off people with random ideas and a nodding head and just not get on with things much. I think the amount of effort I put into blogging last year pretty much reflects the state of everything else and how little I put into things.
Like I mentioned before I'm not one for big resolutions or anything (I know I don't have anything even resembling willpower and motivation these days) but there are a few key things I want to acheive this year which are quite definite milestones. I want to get another first author paper published (or at least submitted) by the end of the year, I want to get my provisional licence and finally learn to drive (I think finally after 10 years my mother's rather cutting remarks about how there is no way on earth I should be trusted behind a wheel have finally faded enough). These are my main objectives but other things I'd like to get done but know are much harder to motivate myself to get done are getting fitter and getting cleverer at maths and finding a fun hobby to do outside work.
