Year after year

2009 has passed, time flies—2010, a year I never dared to imagine, has now arrived.

Two years have passed since I entered university, and many good habits I developed in junior and senior high school have disappeared. My life has become increasingly decadent and inefficient. It's been a long time since I've done a self-reflection or annual summary. Regarding my own problems, I've only identified them, without taking concrete steps to solve them. This is far removed from who I used to be. In 2010, at 20 years old, it's time for a change. Although there's no one supervising or disciplining me now, and I'm clearly aware of my strengths and weaknesses, why not make a firm decision to change? Perhaps I've made this decision countless times, but this time I want to write it down, letting this blog post bear witness to my growth.

First of all, I'm going to start writing blog posts again. This is a mirror of myself; I managed to keep writing even during my busy senior year of high school, so how much more so in college? After a two-year hiatus, my blog will be full again. Maybe what I write will be a bit silly, but it's the real me.

In 2010, an exam could change my life: the 2+2 program, and I was going to get into a business university. The opportunity to upgrade from a third-tier to a first-tier university was right in front of me, and I had to seize it. Looking back on my senior year of high school, what did I do? The hardship then and the leisure now... Although I had already made a study plan, how long had I neglected it during this free winter break? The study plan that seemed perfect back then is now on the verge of failure. At the beginning of 2010, it's not too late. Let's hurry.

Early to bed and early to rise has always been my cherished aspiration. Without self-discipline, I go to bed at 2-3 AM every day. Why?! And why do I wake up in the afternoon every day? My self-control is terrible, and that's entirely my fault! Beautiful morning! In 2010, I want to greet more of the first rays of sunlight!

I'm in good health now. I used to be a level-two athlete with a strong physique, but due to the disorderly lifestyle, my body isn't what it used to be. Thinking back to my former glory on the field, while I'm still young, I should return to a healthy life! I don't aspire to stand on the highest podium again; I only hope to maintain a vibrant spirit every day!

My own shortcomings: poor self-control, poor social skills, timidity, and overconfidence. These all need to be changed. I started trying to change these things during the summer after my senior year of high school, but two years later, I've reverted to my old ways. Haha, thinking about it now, it's truly a failure! At this point in 2010, I want to change, slowly change, slowly improve myself!

Snow is falling heavily outside, and the sound of firecrackers continues. I played with firecrackers with my two younger sisters today, even though it was very cold. The firecrackers are burning, and the innocence of childhood remains, while childhood dreams fade away. The midnight firecrackers and the smell of gunpowder drifting into the room are memories that remain unchanged every year. And in 2010, the auspicious snow will witness my journey!
