I never had, and never will have a New Year's resolution, it's a lot easier this way to do things.

 

Sounds to me like you were not very successful in your new year resolution to not have any new year resolutions ... hmmmm ... wait ... maybe you were successful afterall .. but then that means ... AAhhhhhhhh never mind.

2008 was a little messy….But luckily it went by fast…

 

Since my role of a student will continue for another year and a half, my resolution for 2009 is to stop procrastinating…to understand that keeping a calendar is more than just buying it from the Staples…And try not to take evening classes, and read to my daughters every evening…

 

Understand that there are only 24 hours in a day, 8 of which are for sleeping… and concentrate on the priorities …

 

Not a resolution…but my biggest wish for 2009 is to be able to visit my family in Armenia…(Please God...Santa???)

 

Մովսես, ես աղջիկներիս համար Հայկական Ժողովրդական հեքիաթներ եմ կարդում, նաև Երևանից մերոնք փոքրիկ գրքույկներ են ուղարկել Թումանյանի կարճ հեքիաթներն են շատ սիրուն նկարազարդված: Կարծում եմ ամենալավ ձևն է Հայերենը պահելու իրենց մեջ: Արդեն մի քանի հեքիաթներ (Սուտասանը, Պոչատ աղվեսը, Անբան Հուռին, Տերն ու Ցառան և այլն) անգիր գիտեն: Հերթի ենք դրել մի օր Հայերեն ենք կարդում մի օր անգլերեն: Նաև քնելուց առաջ հայերեն երգեր ենք լսում, Ռուբեն Հախվերդյան կամ Արևիկ: Այսօր օրինակ, քո դրած Գուսան Շահենի "Խռոված էր"-ն ենք լսում Նորոյի կատարմամբ...

Alas, I've given up on my yearly New Year resolution. I think for all the years we've done resolutions in the forum it's always been the same for me, that is to stop procrastinating. That hasn't changed.

 

I do have a new New Year resolution, and that is to become a better teacher. I think this resolution is possible to work on. I'm looking forward to that in the upcoming semester.
