I've never been one for New Year's Resolutions--I usually make major decisions in the summer time, and usually start them after my vacation. However, barring a new job, I'm going to try controlling my Spare Time a little better this "semester." (I can't stop thinking in semesters. Maybe because my job is populated by students, so scheduling is always related to semesters.) Only in the interest of my writing.
I went *off* all my TV shows during Nanowrimo, so that should help. I'm not Out for TV, it's just that there's a bloody great lot of high quality shows in this day and age... one must begin to limit.
The bigger culprit is the internets. I don't mind internetsing a lot for story research, but it's the news-reading, and article reading, and email reading/responding, and music sampling, and blogging, and general trolliness. I'll at least try using a timer so I'm aware of the time I'm spending.

In other news, I'm going to continue my management position until the end of the month. (Again, barring a teaching job.) I'm used to this schedule, and it gives me a little extra money for San Francisco.
And that's the news as I know it. Goodnight.
