it's never too early to make new year's resolutions. but because nobody ever actually accomplishes the so-named resolutions, i think a name change is in order.
i'm hereby renaming my new year's resolutions "the forecast".
so here's the forecast:
1) i'm going to inquire at an american consulate about legal name changes.
looking back, it all probably would've been a lot less headache had i changed my name before leaving the country. (>_<) let's see if we can make it happen from overseas.
2) my scalp is going to be happy again.
if my current strategies don't produce results i'm going to find a new dermatologist—one who actually has time to listen.
3) i will finally contact/consult a japanese gender specialist doctor
i've had the contact info of a highly recommended guy for a while now. i have no excuse.
4) my 101 list will get revamped.
some items have been made obsolete. others i've lost interest in. with the gusto of a new year, 101 in 1001 will live again (and you'll see updates, too!)
5) i am going to take and pass N1 (japanese language proficiency test - 日本語能力試験).
i was going to take it in secret a few weeks ago, but i was feeling a bit ill and chickened out that day. either way i wouldn't have passed—i just wanted to see what the test was like to get an idea of how much more i'd have to know to pass it. i missed that chance to preview it, but i intend to obliterate the test. that's how awesome i intend to become. (note that "the forecast" only includes #5 itself. all the commentary afterwards is just me rambling.)
6) i will audition for something!
seriously. i can't be forgettin' my dreams now, ya know?
i'll possibly have some more things to add to the forecast later. but this is an ok start.
