Achievements and ambitions

Things I planned for this summer:

  • Bike tour of the polish seaside. We did 420 km in less than 6 days and took a ferry from Hel peninsula to Gdańsk.
  • Run in a marathon. I didn’t do that, instead I decided to run 20 km on a beach. Please don’t try to do that, it gives you huge satisfaction, badass blisters and knee overuse injuries.
  • Get a new handset. That I did with pleasure, retiring my old Sony Ericsson K300i. I now have HTC Wildfire S and I love it.

It’s no January, but I feel like it’s time for some new year’s resolutions. Things I plan for the winter season (the next 6 months):

  • Study hard while working full-time.
  • Learn 2 of the following: Haskell, Puppet, natural languare processing.
  • Give my bike some love as it needs general overhaul.
  • Do some running interval training once my knee is fully recovered.
  • Do some sightseeing while I’m in Berlin for GDD 2011. Please send your suggestions or meet me for a beer if you leave near there.
  • Give up alcohol for a month in November December. I try to do this twice a year and I feel wonderful afterwards.

Edit: Changed my mind on the alcohol thing. I feel GDD networking would not be quite the same experience without german Bier. As for the other things that could affect my decision, after the con I’m going to Amsterdam to see the one and only band that can rock out with its c@#k out – Electric Six. Lastly, New Year is the ultimate occasion to drink some expensive Champagne! ;)
