New Year's Resolutions:

Well, friends, Christmas Day came and went. It was remarkably uneventful, as everybody came a few days after Christmas and exchanged gifts. I got some teas and clothing and money.

New Year's Eve and New Year's Day also came and went uneventfully. I amn't a party-going person, so I didn't attend any festivities. I did stay up past midnight, as is my custom, and drank an entire bottle of sparkling grape juice, and had some cheese and crackers.

Now that 2019 is here, and now that I am back at school, I turn to the notion of New Year's Resolutions.

I've never been a stickler for resolutions of this sort, or of resolutions in general. All of the resolutions I tend to make are half-baked, and half-remembered, and go off half-cocked when the time comes to fulfill them. Ergo, I have generally left off making resolutions, but recent events in my academic and personal life have caused me to reconsider my stance.

Without further ado, here are some resolutions for the New Year (albeit a bit late in their announcing.)

1. Pull my grades back from the abyss of academic probation
2. Declare my major
3. Look into studying abroad
4. Head to the gym, lose weight, get fit
5. Get a job and save up several hundred dollars
6. Make more recordings and post them to Newgrounds
7. Publish more poetry

Here's hoping I can make these resolutions come true!

A New Hobby

I've decided to pick up a side hobby in the form of making recordings and readings. As I enjoy voice acting, and reciting, and poetry, and literature, and all that jazz, I've decided to start making recordings of myself reading various essays, stories, and poems. I'm considering also having them made into videos and uploading those to YouTube (though, given the current state of YouTube being an AI-dominated mess at present, I would say it's better if any videos were posted here at first so that they have a higher chance of staying up.)

Anywho, allow me to post my first recording: a reading of "The Selfish Giant", a fairy tale written by Oscar Wilde, and read by Yours Truly.

Enjoy!
