I am embarking on an adventure. At the encouragement of my concerned family, I have decided to make 2010 my "year of fun" - a New Year's resolution of sorts. I had realized at the end of the semester that I was working too much, becoming less of me and more of a joyless workaholic who lost sight of the true meaning of what I do. The plan was formed sometime during Christmas vacation; while I cannot remember the exact timing, I remember the idea coming about because of a conversation with my aunt, cousin, and mother. Sitting in the living room around the Christmas tree, it was decided that I needed to have more fun so that work wouldn't be so hard and so all-consuming. A chance to be me again.
There are several layers to the plan for the Year of Fun, some of which too personal to discuss on a public forum that my students may or may not read. I plan to do things that I love to do but have stopped due to work. I want to try new things and travel. I also want to do a little work on my inner self. (This is where it gets personal; also, due to my faith and the fact that I am a school employee, I'm not sure that I am supposed to talk about it unless specifically asked what I believe, even on a personal blog.) And I plan to record my adventures on this blog - in part so certain people can keep tabs on me to ensure I am actually having fun.
So here's to the Year of Fun. May it live up to its name.
