A merry merry New Year

This is a blog, right?

It seems rather dead - like the crickets have been singing merrily here for a while. I guess this post *stamps mark* will take away the stigma of long-un-updated blog.

Welcome to the New Year, folks!
Admittedly, it's not the new year yet as I type this out; but the last day of the old year. Three cheers. I wonder how badly people are going to be partying tonight. But this is a collective blog - hence, let's talk about collective things. Serious things first.

School's in again for Reading starting January the second. Ah, there goes our late nights and mornings! Here come the various grumblings that come hand-in-hand with our days at law school!
Don't you hear the heavy trudging of feet and terrible groans from all of us? It's Asia Cafe again, or Cabana (let's flip a coin), the hot sun, tutorials and written work, and library. Bah!

Happy things.
The new year is often something people feel will bring a difference in their lives. It's like a new pair of shoes or a new pen - which will change the way your feet feel when you walk, or the way your handwriting looks when you write - same old thing but with the conscious feeling that something new has taken the place of the old. Ah, let's give ourselves a check and see how long we'll write '2007' instead of '2008' whenever the date needs writing.

And let's see how we stick to the new year's resolutions.
For a student, I imagine the need to resolve to study harder, watch less tv, and follow your timetable!
Or sleep less.
Or stop studying on the bed. Or, less Facebooking (!???!!).

And the list goes on and on.
For tonight, let's just count down the hours, minutes and seconds.

Happy New Year, Folks!!

Let the fireworks explode!
