End of summer

Right before Memorial Day I posted a list of five resolutions that I wanted to accomplish by the unofficial end of summer, or today.  They were moderately challenging but doable.  I felt optimistic, realistic about the goals...

I forgot three out of five of them.  Oops.

I have technically read more than four books, and if you spread out the miles I've biked this summer it'd average to about two miles each week. But I didn't even touch my clarinet this summer and I think once or twice I played around on my guitar and attempted to look up tabs for Dream a Little Dream of Me but couldn't find play all the chords in the few versions I found.  And I'm too ashamed to even attempt to do 20 pushups in one minute.

But-- I've decided to challenge myself again, with the similar goals.  Except the one about biking once a week, as that will get very difficult.  I resolve to:
1.  Practise an instrument once a week
2.  Read four books (includes graphic novels, classic children's books)
3.  Do 20 push-ups in a minute
4.  Take a break from the computer every 45 minutes

These goals apply until December 18th.  That last one doesn't really correspond to any of my previous resolutions but I figured I should throw that in there to remind myself.  It's embarassing the amount of times I've realized that I've sat in front of my computer for hours, just visually-digesting God knows how much actual Important Information and complete drivel.
