Bring it back

I want to do this. I want to blog again. Can that be a new years resolution? A late one? I didn't have any of those this year so I feel like it would only be fair to get one now. I resolve to resume blogging, to pick up where I left off, to shock the internet with my wisdom and life experiences. I'm joking. Maybe I should also resolve to be less conceited and not drink so much? Can I have a new month resolution? I feel as though short term goals are more realistic and far easier to visualize. I should also resolve to read this chapter on. "Marine Provinces," that I am avoiding by this blog. Is it ever annoying when people post their resolutions on Facebook or, "knocking out 2,000 words of this paper tonight?" I find it pretty annoying, but I understand why it is done. People with public resolutions, people who announce their diets, and people who keep us constantly updated on their need to stay in and do homework, do so because they lack self motivation. They need the world to know their plans so that someone will hold them accountable. It is not because they are confident or proud of their decision it is because they know if there is nobody to judge them, to say, "Hey aren't you on a diet?" they will fall back into their old habits. They will fail. To some extent this is all of us. To a larger extent I would like to believe that it is not me, but when I started my application for The Peace Corp, the first thing I did was let Facebook know I was working on an application. I did this because subconsciously, somewhere I knew that people would say, "Hey how is that application going?" And no matter how much I panicked or got nervous while filling out the application, I would have to finish it. And because they were mentioned, New years resolutions, time is relative and it is sad when people wait around for the new year to accomplish something. But hey, somebody hold me accountable for this oceanography homework, please?
