At the beginning of a new year, it is common for many people to make New Year's resolutions. These are goals that people want to achieve by the end of the year. I have a few resolutions for this year.
First, I want to finish writing my dissertation and do a defense this year. I have been working on my dissertation for over five years and I am starting to get tired of it. It might be difficult for me to finish this year, but if I work really hard I might be able to achieve it.
Second, I want to walk more. I recently have been counting my steps with an iPhone application called "Stepz". My goal is to walk 10,000 steps everyday. Some days when it rains a lot or it is really cold, it is very difficult to achieve this. So, my goal is not to achieve 10,000 steps everyday, but rather to average 10,000 steps a day for each month. That way, I can make up for days when the weather is bad or I have to go to meetings all day and don't have enough opportunity to walk.
Third, I want to hike more tall mountains in Japan. For example, I want to hike peaks that are more than 3,000 meters in the Northern and Southern Alps of Japan. The summer before the last one I hiked two peaks that were over 3,000 meters in the Southern Alps of Japan. It was amazing, but also very difficult!
