  It was a pain in the ass. Rereading my past posts made me think I was a moron. At least, this is a good thing. Looking back if you see yourself as dumb, it means you are still growing. I am still burgeoning.

New Year’s Resolution:

• Spend more time reading & writing
  basically spend more time organizing my thoughts
• Be your true self; don’t leave regrets behind
• JLPT at least pass N2
• Acquire more skills
• More than 1k github commits (though commit number doesn’t mean code quality or coding skill, I hope it can spur me to spend more time coding)
