Plans and Planes
Jan. 2nd, 2019 04:11 pmNow that the dust of New Year celebrations has settled, I can take stock of what I can look forward to this year.
2019 is going to be a busy one for me, though hopefully in a good way. My last semester of undergrad is coming up, and then it's on to Psych Honours. I am very excited to dive back into social psychology (also known as the best psychology) after a year-long struggle with neuroscience; Neuro has been the bane of my existence for as long as we have been acquainted, while social psych is relatively easy and actually makes sense. Here's to finishing on a high note (fingers crossed)!
Like everyone and their mother, I am also hoping to get back on track with fitness stuff--a combination of holidays, visiting family, and this accursed heatwave means that in the past few weeks I've allowed exercise to fall entirely by the wayside. I finally went for a jog this morning, and let me tell ya, that felt good. Tiring as hell, but good.
Some vacation plans are also beginning to take shape, with the prospect of plane travel shining bright in the near-ish future. Note to self: go on planes more; life sucks sometimes, but nothing puts it in perspective quite like seeing the tiny bright lights of homes and highways out of a plane window. I can't wait to see the ocean again, as well, even if it means drowning myself in sunscreen (curse you, Hole in the Ozone Layer!).
I also received So Many Books from various friends and family, and my To Be Read pile is as large as it is one-note. Apparently, my love of planes is very well-known to everyone who met me... Mark Vanhoenacker's Skyfaring promises to be a great rainy-day read, if only the weather would oblige. The Few by Alex Kershaw and Air Force Blue by Patrick Bishop both sit perfectly at the intersection of WW2 history and aviation (I have so many feelings about the Eagle Squadrons it's not even funny). I'll end the list here, since it really is quite long (thank you, family and friends <3), but you get the picture.
To conclude this ramble, there's a lot of stuff to look forward to this year, and also some challenging things I am rather keen to tackle. 2018 was pretty up-and-down for me, and that's probably going to continue for a while (my whole life, most likely), but we'll get through it :)
To anyone who's reading this, I hope 2019 treats you well,and you get to do the things you get excited about.
Cheers,
Alex
