I find myself lacking in this area, especially in the day school (I've got lots of friends in the boarding house though). I need to make new day school girl friends. And even better if they're not from the school! I need to sharpen my social skills and put them into first gear. I mean, who doesn't want to make new friends?

#2. Achieve a UAI of 85 90 or over.
I put quite some thought into this, and I was really close to making my UAI goal 80, instead of 85 - but I want to strive for better. Better is the way to go. You know, even if I get 80, I'll be happy. But the main purpose of a goal or resolution is to encourage ourselves to go the distance.
EDIT: Ew-Jun reminded me that it doesn't hurt to try and dream. I'll probably reconsider this decision (sorry EJ!), but I'm going to shoot high. [If I get 80 and above, I'm happy lah, really.]

#3. Lose 4kg.
I've done it before, and I'm pretty damn sure that I can do it again. Four. Not five. Not six. Not TEN for Christ's sake. From how much I weigh now, I've chosen 4 because I think it's reasonable. And of course, I want to look fit. And keep fit. 4 is the number.

#4. Get an A for Biology and Modern History.
I absolutely SUCK at these two subjects. Don't get me wrong on English, I suck at that too, but that's one subject I feel fairly confident in. As for Biology and Mod History, I suck to the core. And I want to change that. I've been getting Cs and B-s all year, and now I want a B+ or an A. I want 70% goddamn it.

#5. Win a tennis singles match.
Oh yes. This was one of my resolutions for 2006, and I failed. I won a few singles matches, but it was against a player with less advantage to my experiences. I want a good competition. A good and fair fight.

#6. Get a job.
Not an easy thing, considering how busy I will be this year - what with the HSC, study, extension classes, sports training, band rehearsals... It'll be tough, but I want to earn some money to add to my savings. I owe mum money for my trips to Melbourne and Canberra last year, and I want to show my dad that I can earn my own money too. And I want to work for experience, so I can get better jobs in the future.

#7. Save at least $1000 of a year's savings.
I've had numerous lectures from dad about how much I spend, and how money doesn't grow on trees - and quite frankly, I've had enough. Last term alone, I saved more than half of a term's pocket money. This time, I want to continue doing that for an entire year. As my dad said, "A penny saved now is a penny saved for your future."
