2020 Vision

[IgnisExcubitor]

Go back to teaching kids on weekends. Aim to start that by May, by which time the pressure at my work will be reduced. 

To restart learning Portuguese, and hopefully complete it this time.

Mainly losing weight for me. I've lost about half a stone in the past month or so by just changing my eating habits a bit (aka not eating too much shit, not eating ridiculously late and drinking more water). Wrong time of the year to start it but there we go.

Me neither. Maybe we can create a thread and do a mini book club thing

I started at the weekend. Watching them in chronological order as apparently that's the best way to do it.

Edit: Created the thread now - made it a generic one

Getting a proper girlfriend would be nice I suppose .

How are we all doing considering COVID-19?

I had a goal around the number of steps I do a day which has dramatically gone out of the window since lockdown!

My policy of not making any plans turned out to be the best thing about 2020

Hopefully be arranging a wedding for 2021...

So this is still happening! Obviously got engaged in Feb but planning a wedding in lockdown has been mightily difficult. Think we've done well though in contacting suppliers and getting provisional dates booked in. Not physically being able to see the venue has made it worse.

Don't have many specific goals as there's currently quite a bit of uncertainty in my life so I'm not even bothering with making any plans  

The only specific thing I would like to make progress on is learning Mandarin. 

Other than that I think I'll just take each day as it comes; one at a time haha.

 

No excuse not to given the lockdown. I expect you to be fluent in it now

I actually enrolled in a course, sadly it has to be distance learning though. I'm sure I'll be fluent once this lockdown ends in 5 years time!

To try and stealthily make it through another year avoiding the talk of marriage or babies.

I hope you’ve got a small family, the less conversations to have the easier it is. 
 

Unfortunately for me I come from a large Irish family so every gathering is a million “when’s the wedding?”

When is it? And can I be invited? I feel like me and your missus really connected.

She’d probably marry you if you could secure her a visa

Large Indian family as well so I can totally empathise!

Before I met my fiance, pretty much throughout my 20s every family event (of which there were fucking loads!) was 'Have you found anyone yet? When are you getting married? When can we go to a wedding?'

I was just trying to be optimistic!!! 

[nudge]

In all seriousness though, this time in a lockdown has been weirdly productive for me. Finished two programming courses, enrolled in the aforementioned language course, got back into photography, started a new workout routine and am now in the best shape I've been in the last 5 years. 

Would be great if everything else wasn't shite

And just in case the first two questions are serious we’re not actually engaged

Haha I know she needs to hurry up and propose or DM for ways to earn a visa.

Usually people just let others slide in to the DMs. Very rare someone asks another to do so.
