As I was about to type down "2018: New Year Resolution", I paused for a second and changed my mind. Instead of putting it as "resolution", I want to bring things down a notch and put the following as "wishes" instead. (I read a post about keeping up with New Year resolutions, that is to make specific goals. Therefore I revise my following goals and make them in red.)
1. Read books>read one book per month. Actually, when I was reading the book that I actually finished, When Breath Becomes Air, I felt I was living another person's life. The author's experience and reflections made me think and treasure what I have. Moreover, I have a strong feeling that my language is going backward. I often struggle with names or a sentence structure. I don't know if it was because I am exposed to a bad language environment, or because the language section in my brain is deteriorating.
2. Strengthen my knees>being able to ride 60 miles without knee pain. After the last two rides, I am scared of the knee pain. Worse still, the pain didn't go away after the last ride. I need to figure out if I need to adjust my seat. Then I need to do exercises to strengthen them.
3. Post one blog per month sharing knowledge. As I am the Twitter master for ATA Language Technology Division, I am devoting at least one hour every week to keep this account active. As I am reposting the blog posts, I am thinking: I can also share my experience as a paralegal/translator in my firm. It will provide useful information and hopefully grow my client base.
4. Pass court interpreter exam. I successfully registered the written exam today. Great first step! Just need a study plan and start studying!!
Here is a tentative breakdown for a weekday:
Read a book while standing against the wall: 30 minutes
Practice SI and CI: 20 minutes each
For weekends (2 days in total):
Read a book: 2 hours, standing against the wall: 1 hour
Practice SI and CI: 30 minutes each every day
Review: 1-2 hour
Write blogs and manage Twitter: 2-3 hours
