Because It's More Original To Write Your New Years Resolutions On The 6th January

1) Listen to John Coltrane, Ray Charles and Miles Davis

This is because everyone in my city 'bums' dubstep and I keep on...well, not. Instead I'm going to retrace my jazz steps and go back to where it aaaaaallll began...ha ha

2) Send my CV off and get more work at the BBC

This one I already made progress with today as I phoned the lady who first gave me work. She gave me the name of the editor of the radio station she used to work for and told me to call him. Not a bad start, eh?

3) Win money for my poker skills

This is really just an easy way of losing a lot of do-ray-me very, very quickly. But if I win, it makes me the coolest person in town hence it's a worthy sacrafice. Big bucks are out of the question unfortunately as I'll probably chicken out and only blow twenty quid on the experience

4) Keep going to the gym

I joined at the beginning of December and in a week I'd lost six pounds! (Exercise and sensible eating seriously pays off guys, no word of a lie). Sadly Christmas happened and so I need to go back. Three times a week and pilates on Saturdays!

5) Save money for Hong Kong

I am going to Hong Kong and consequently need money for the plane ticket. Accomodation is covered though - thank you Lor!

6) Read set texts before course begins

This one is ridiculously difficult as one of the books is Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie and, in case you hadn't read it, it's pretty long. Anyhow, am reading A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man at the moment and I...I just don't like it. What can I say? I'm English student who doesn't jump for Joy on reading Joyce. Dun, dun, dun!
