New Year's Resolutions for 2012

My objectives for this year are:

1. To keep the promises I've made to my friends. I've promised to my friends to do some things with them (meet them in summer, go to them to some certain places...). 
To make this objective come true I will start thinking about my plans how to do these things. So I will start to think about it seriously. Second, I will tell my parents about it and ask them about how and when could I do these things. And third, I'll tell it many other people so I can assure that, if I'm not really fulfulling my promises, my friends will remember me and they'll make me feel bad (even if this is not their objective, I will feel bad xD)


2. To be more diligent and more active. I use to be a very lazy person and I don't do many activities or similar things. When I'm at home I often do nothing and simply start to think about things... And then I think too much.
So to be more diligent and do more things I will take advantage of this "thinking time" for finding ideas. Ideas for activities that I could do with my friends. Also, I will participate in our school musical. In this way, I start doing more things a part of school and maybe so I'll begin to accustom to be more active. And third, when I'm at home and there isn't any possibility to meet someone or do something different, I will use that time to watch films which I always wanted to see (for example).


3. Refresh and improve my English (yep, really; and not just for writing something the teacher wants to see). I've noticed that since I've been here in Spain and learning Spanish and Catalan I have more difficulties to speak in English. This is because I haven't practised new things in the last 3 years (or just a little) and a part of the "English zone" in my brain has been replaced by the other languages I've learned now.
To return to speak English as good as I did when I came here from Germany (and then better, naturally) I will start to watch films and play games in English. In this way I automatically hear and read English many days. Second (and this is a bit tricky one), I'm going to try to "think" in English. It may seem very strange to you but it really works (at least for me). When I studied English in Germany, I realized that, when I thought about what I have to do or something like that, I told this to myself in my mind in English. The same thing happened when I learned Catalan and Spanish and it helps to get routine for talking in that language. Then, when I talk to someone, I don't have to think so much about the words I want to say. And last but not least, I will sign up in a web community and discuss there with other people in English about something that I like (maybe about games, series or films). This will also help me to read and write more in English.
