Goals 2012

The number of goals gets smaller each year, but the challenge is undiminished. I believe I can achieve all of these. Significantly, 2012 is the first year that I haven’t had language learning goals there. I am not going to take on any new languages, and I am at the stage where I am covering content rather than just language in both Japanese and Chinese. I’m going to do everything I can to keep improving, but I want to learn what I want to learn – and I am going to experiment with not structuring that.
