2012.



01 Read 50 books
I'm extremely excited that I managed to complete the challenge in 2011. After reading 20 books in December I definitely have the right mindset to keep reading. I already have 50 books lined up (literally. They are all right next to my bed. I have a problem, okay?!), so I won't run out of reading material any time soon.

02 Watch 100 movies
I'll probably start with a re-watch marathon of all my favorite movies, because I wasn't 'allowed' to watch them in the last couple of months of the challenge. After I've gotten that out of my system I'll start looking for some new movies. I'll also try to go the cinema as often as possible. I might even try going by myself.

03 Knit a pair of socks
My feet are cold. I need more socks. And I just want to a cool granny when I'm old. It's a dying art form!

04 Pride and Prejudice piano book
I know every single note of every song on the soundtrack. The piano book is fairly simple compared to the stuff I usually play. All I need is some determination. No more excuses.

05 Learn all the countries of the world/American presidents/American states
Started working on Africa yesterday. This might take a while. I'm still pretty good at the states though.

06 Learn more Dutch sign language
Lidewij has been teaching me some sign language. I know how to spell my name and I picked my own sign language name. I can also show my appreciation for cheese and know a couple of countries. And the alphabet of course, though I might need to brush up on that a little bit.

07 Learn morse code
The coolest things ever. The only thing I know so far: ... --- ...

08 Learn how to drive
I booked my first driving lesson today. The terrifying journey will start Thursday at 1 pm. SAVE ME BARRY!

09 Work on my editing skills
I want to work with animation/drawing and typography things. I usually shy away from using any kind of letters/words in my videos because I am never satisfied with how it turns out and I prefer to keep things simple. NO MORE.

10 Work on my British accent
Why? Spoilerssss.

Check out the video to see how I did on my 2011 resolutions.

Haha, heel leuk filmpje! Ik ben vaak niet zo heel goed in het vervullen van mijn voornemens, maar dit jaar ga ik echt mijn best doen! Ik ben van plan één boek per maand te lezen, weinig ik weet het, maar als dat met lukt doe ik volgend jaar zeker mee :).
