cimorene1. What was your biggest accomplishment this year?
realizing the extent of the fucked-up-ness of things in time to do something about it, and doing said something (i.e. taking academic leave).
2. What was your biggest disappointment?
might've been one of the philosophical revelations associated with the above. when i realized how much i hate academia. not only can i not stand to work in it, but i can't stand to live in it for the rest of the time i needed to to get a degree. and it also kind of eliminates my career plans. here's hoping some things straighten out for me. new career plans, renewed tolerance, whatever.
3. Will you be making any New Year's resolutions?
never.
4. Where will you be at midnight? Do you wish you could be somewhere else?
home, at my parents' new year's party. i'd much rather be at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mece's with wax_jism, which was the original plan. (left the tickets too late. >.<)
5. Aside from (possibly) staying up late, do you have any other New Year's traditions?
we have a pretty formulaic new year's party for the years we spend christmas in kansas with my mother's family. my favorite aunt and uncle host it; tina and bruce get drunk; my mom and cherrie make frozen margaritas; joe drinks wine coolers; i hide out in aubry's room with the rest of the matched set; we play board games, watch movies, eat pizza or hamburgers or both; sherry brings boiled cookies.
it's never going to be like that again.
i wonder who in my generation will host them and if i'll ever go to one?
