Wow, 2009 was fast. Too many things have happened this year. First my mom was sick for about 4 months (leaving me and my sister alone at Shanghai for 2 months), then I got to work in the ThinkQuest team, then we moved to Hong Kong, and at last, the highlight of the year – the San Francisco trip.
Now, onto 2010. I don’t normally do any New Year resos, but I guess it’s different this year. Why? I don’t know. I just felt different.
Well, first and foremost, I’ll need to somehow lose my weight (AND maintain it) to at most 75kg. That way my doctor will be happy, I will be healthy, and I can get an allowance raise from my mom.
Considering this is my most important year in high school, I need to shape things up academically a bit. Let’s see, a 3.9 GPA would be good, and I’ll need to get at least 2100 on SAT before June. I think it’s totally possible if I just spend a little time everyday studying some vocab. It shouldn’t be THAT hard.
And at last, I need to master Java and Javascript. Two different languages, I know, but I’m linked to them both as a APCS student and a Web designer. I can’t seem to design anything anymore… where’d my design sense go? (Or, did I ever have one?) Hopefully that can be saved by the Graphics Design course, which I am really looking forward to.
Do you think I can fulfill all these resolutions?
Well, I started taking the Princeton Review SAT course, and there is this page in the textbook that has excerpts from past SAT essays. I am sure they are just for entertaining purposes only, so DON’T even think about quoting them from your actual SAT essay
