Inspire me with your resolutions for the new year. Mine:
- Wake up earlier on workdays in order to get to the office before 9 (which I should have been doing all along, but really overlooked in the past 4 months).
- Get my PhD in february.
- Get one paper published on a mid-range scientific journal.
- Get a "revise and resubmit" instead of a "fuck off and die" from a top-notch scientific journal for another paper.
- Win the European Economic Association's "Young Economist Award" this summer.
- Visit Dubai in february and do some mad shopping without feeling extremely guilty.
- Lose more weight and reach 56 kg (pre curry-and-beer diet). I am down from 70 to 63, but there's still work to be done.
- Improve style and looks.
- Overcome spleen, go out more and meet new people.
- Manage to get funding in order to spend one month in NYC in the summer.
- See Eminem live.
There's a few more aspirations (smoke less, find life partner etc) but they're not as fundamental at the moment.
Ah, and wash the mountain of dishes currently crowding my sink.
