    What's everyone's plans for the coming year? This year I've worked harder than I ever have so I'm hoping next year will pay off. Here's my goals:

    • Get a new job :) Finished my PhD this summer (hopefully) so I might move into industry or try to get a post doc
    • LOADS MORE WOMEN
    • Travel
    • Move abroad

    Learn a new skill - programming.
    Be less fat.
    Learn enough of a language to be able to get by.
    Give up alcohol. For the foreseeable future. And only have a few around special occasions. And basically get back into enjoying the things I did before I started drinking...all those years ago! :(
    Save!

    My goal for 2015 is to accomplish the goals of 2014, which I should have done in 2013, because I promised them in 2012 and planned them in 2011.

    Become more charitable. All stemming from the tear-jerking brilliant High Hopes Choir documentary on RTE a few weeks ago. Basically donating the price of a fiver a week. One less pint is only a good thing.

    Hopefully do my masters if everything works out, if not do some kind of course. Been out of college over a year and the desire to undertake something new is kicking in.

    Score more goals in lunch time football.

    Read more. I've gotten out of the habit of reading in the evenings due to the interwebz. Got catch 22, lord of the flies and hitchhikers guide to the galaxy the other day so I'm all set! :D

    To be honest, not much plans. After such a roll coaster year, I would love nice, normal, boring year.

    Just few small things that I do want to do:

    Get A license and motorbike.
    Get my first tattoo.
    Go on sun holiday, as I haven't been on one for the last 5 years.

    Quit smoking & drinking and loose the beer belly I've had for the past few years. Meeting a nice girl who lets me play with her bits would be nice as well :D

    Buy a new car.

    Save more.

    Find a place to rent with the boyfriend (impossible in Dublin with our budget at the mo).

    Keep going towards my goal weight (was almost there before Xmas, not sure now).

    Learn to fly a plane. Even once for 5 minutes will be grand.
