Yeah I've tried a few times. I've managed to cut down over the past six months though, I mostly smoke now when I have a drink in front of me but I'm hoping to quit altogether. My family has a history of lung cancer and smoking-related deaths so I'm very aware of the health issues.

Not quite sure what I want to achieve next year. A new car is definitely at the top of my most wanted list. Maybe exercise more regulary, maintain a better diet and quit smoking for good (the same old crap everyone says but never sticks to).

I am excited about finishing so I can work in the industry. I'm considering getting a part time job to get more experience. That's my goal for this upcoming year. I did lose weight so I'm going to have more salads and fruits in 2014. I want to read more novels and swim every week. I've really missed swimming and after a delicious swim at the beach over Xmas, I'm totally going to do it. I want to move into a flat and continue buying amazing clothes for $1 at the hospice. I will be going to Dunedin to visit friends and parents, me and mom are going to watch le mis with cup cakes and high tea like the cross dressing ladies in Little Britain. I want to join a group on meet ups to see people (like me) who have health issues, as well as maybe a hiking group. I want to add more to my journal and develop my spirituality. So basically I have lots of things I could develop to help me be the best I can be. Fashion wise I have an amazing wardrobe, I think many people get too wound up about brands rather than spending less and gaining better items you can mix and match.

The best of luck, I hope you get the type of job you want. A lot of companies often look for experience over results so any type of experience is hugely beneficial, even if it's just a summer internship. Once you get your foot inside the door of any IT company and impress them you're well on your way.

In the new year my main aim is to complete my Masters and get a job with a certain multinational technology company, who have a campus in my town. Other than that I'm aiming to keep up my routine of regular exercise and make it to the other end of the year alive.

Yeah I'm just thinking it would be worth it because I looked fecking hot at that weight.

Happy new years! I didn't go out I just sat at home, sick and played computer games.

Stop swearing. I really do want to achieve this, in both the verbal and written form.

Try to raise my children as well as I possibly can.

Stop perving at women's asses....ah, what the hell - two out of three won't be too bad.

Sounds like Seneca.

I'd like to exercise regularly to reduce my overall stress/depression and maybe lose 10kg.
