    1. Actually do a job I can take confidence in on the second senior design project
    2. Find a job for after college, preferably somewhere other than here
    3. Write. The ideas just keep resurfacing, and they won't go away.
    4. Actually learn more hypersonics on a practical level.
    5. Design and research the necessary hard sci-fi for a full world and backstory, including ship designs and modern warfare.
    6. Learn Japanese, Korean, German, French, Russian, and Romanian. And Chinese, Mandarin and Cantonese. Maybe some Latin if I can swing it.
    7. Go absolutely mad scientist after a mental breakdown, build a neutron bomb, and hold a nation hostage for *dramatic zoom* one million dollars!
    7a. Mad science is not mad science without bubbling flasks and Jacob's Ladders. I'll need to buy those. I think there's a set on sale at S-mart that includes a Van de Graff generator, too.
    7b. Is a neutron bomb mad-sciencey enough? Maybe a neutron cannon or zero-point bomb. Or giant mutant weasels. Ooh, ferrets, that's an idea. Or I could just throw rocks at the Earth from the asteroid belt until someone pays up.
    7c. I may need to find some desolate tropical island or haunted manor/castle for my mental breakdown, then. Maybe some real estate shopping in Transylvania will be necessary. Then again, a lot of this outsourcing stuff is going to the Third World, so maybe the Transvaal would be better. Still, a moon base does have its appeals...

    Of course I'm taking this seriously. Why would you think otherwise?
    Give me some of that shit you're smoking.

    I will miss you guys.

    1. Take PtoPOnline.com up another notch
    2. Start going to class. A 3.17 just isnt good enough for me hah (I went to Chemistry 5 times. It was a 3 day a week class)
    3. Lose some weight during the Spring / Summer
    4. Get a motorcycle
    5. Make it across the country and back on said motorcycle.
    6. Make some cash for a nice camera and some computer upgrades, so I can do more with PtoP
    7. Start planning for life after college, even though I have a few years left, I want to be ready when the time comes.

    Well I'm pretty much the same as you lemon head, although I haven't started learning German at all, though I'd like to.

    Since fixing the forums comes first, I guess this means I'll live 'till I'm very, very old.

    But I'm going to kill you...
    After I kill Panda. God forbid he actually fix the fourms and then get to you before me. That would wreck my year. Filled with murders.

    I'm so very afraid.


    Sadly, though, only 2 people want to do me in, this year.

    I'd rather stick with one resolution than list a bunch I will never follow up on.

    1. Finish learning how to program. Starting with C++ (I already learned the basics, just got lazy because I was too stupid when I was 12).

    I will begin when I start college (Jan. 10).

    I will learn everything the textbook on C++ has to offer by the end of May. Then begin a new language which I will decide then because I will be in computer classes then.

    I resolved to at least start some kind of workout. I have two 25 pound dumbells, so I'm just going to lift them on greater and greater sets of reps until I make something out of it. Currently I'm up to thirty reps in a set of four, so eventually I'll get somewhere with it.

    EDIT: Oh, and I resolve to figuring out just who the hell that is in Cyber's avatar, without asking!
