For Auld Lang Syne, My Dear

[credit]

It's still snowing in Budapest.

The sidewalks are still ridiculously slippery.

And it's getting colder still.

But - I bought my train ticket to Vienna!

I'll [hopefully] be on the 6AM train and will be there by 9AM!

I'm thinking I'll stay until 6PM and get back to Budapest by 9PM.

That's a nice long day, right?

I'm going to see a DaVinci exhibit and then wander around

eat some amazing food,

buy things at the Christmas Markets,

and enjoy hearing German instead of Hungarian for a day :)

I cannot wait.

Expect an overload of photos sometime soon :)

Day 11: New Years Resolution(s)

Did you know that a good percentage of New Years Resolutions

go unfulfilled after January? (Yeah, I know, most of you do,

'cause you're brilliant like that). But it's why:

- Gyms over-advertise in January

(interesting fact: in NH, gyms have to offer

a month-by-month membership,

so they can't trick you into it in January)

- diet books get put up front in bookstores

- many, many other such things

That being said,

New Years resolutions are hard!

Not because I lack commitment,

but, rather, life changes a lot in a year.

How am I to make a decision,

and "force" myself to keep it for

365 days?

Pfft, we're a crazy bunch!

So, my New Years Resolution

is to finish the

100 Pushups Program,

my thesis (on time),

and write more handwritten letters & cards to friends and family.

Those are do-able, right?

I sure hope so...
