Holiday Weekly_ 菜鳥上班族放假週記20

新年快樂！

就這樣踏入2016了，在回了無數次頭省視過去的這一年之後。這一周是平靜悠閒的寒假跨年週。麥特跟我沒有出門，在家窩在沙發上、蓋著毛毯邊看著電視轉播紐約跨年倒數、邊玩著手機遊戲的進入新的一年。明天就要收假上班，老闆周三才會來，所以我要負責帶一個實習生！又興奮又緊張！

我花了週五週六兩個晚上申請、上架，終於讓EH店面在睽違兩年多後重新開幕。最初想要重新開幕的目的，只是為了能讓我可以不必囤貨的繼續把玩製作手工戒指。現在開了店有了月費支出的壓力和業績壓力，有點小焦躁。不過頭幾週先試試看自己每天在Facebook和Instagram上分享照片的簡陋行銷手法吧，無論如何這只是個副業，正式的工作要先顧好。

有鑑於去年的新年新希望過多、野心又過大，今年給自己訂了十二條(左右)的目標，大部分都有明確的數字目標，像是存款金額、文章篇數等等，就不在這裡一一列舉了，等年底再來一口氣回顧。

新的一年讓我充滿幹勁，上半年就有不少活動、計畫、跟目標。除了工作本身不說(之後每個星期都會在這裡寫)，這學期要申請工作簽證(並緊盯進度不能出包!)、旁聽法文課(或自己複習)、二月要帶阿豆仔回台灣過年，練車，想要開始規律的游泳運動、想要開始寫故事(英文還是中文還沒有決定，其實連故事大綱都還沒設計，只有背景而已)，想要開始用中文寫些能源主題的文章(英文的要先練好)，閒有餘裕的話還想要去加州拜訪湯姆(需要非常有餘裕才行)，也要持續閱讀。

寫一寫又忘我的訂下了好多目標。那麼就用我最喜愛的音樂人Ben Howard的Keep Your Head Up 來激勵自己與大家、開始嶄新的2016吧！

"Keep Your Head Up"

I spent my time watchin' the spaces that have grown between us.

And I cut my mind on second best or the scars that come with the greeness.

And I gave my eyes to the boredom, still the seabed wouldn't let me in,

And I tried my best to embrace the darkness in which I swim.

I'm walkin' back down this mountain

With the strength of a turnin' tide

Oh the wind's so soft on my skin,

The sun so hard upon my side.

Oh lookin' out at this happiness,

I search for between the sheets.

Oh feelin' blind and realize,

All I was searchin' for was me.

Ooh all I was searchin' for was me.

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.

No, no, no, no.

Keep your mind set, keep your hair long.

Oh my my darlin' keep your head up, keep your heart strong.

No no no no, keep your mind set in your ways, keep your heart strong.

I saw a friend of mine the other day,

And he told me that my eyes were gleamin'.

Oh I said I had been away, and he knew,

Oh he knew the depths I was meanin'.

And it felt so good to see his face,

Or the comfort invested in my soul.

Oh to feel the warmth of a smile,

When he said "I'm happy to have you home.

Ooh I'm happy to have you home."

Yeah, keep your head up, keep your heart strong.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Keep your mind set, keep you hair long.

Oh my my darlin', keep your head up, keep you heart strong.

No no no no, keep your mind set in your ways,

Keep your heart strong.

'Cause I'll always remember you the same.

Oh eyes like wild flowers within demons of change.

May you find happiness there,

May all your hopes all turn out right.

Ooh may you find happiness there,

May you find warmth in the middle of the night.

Yeah, keep your head up, keep your heart strong.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Keep your mind set, keep you hair long.

Oh my my darlin', keep your head up, keep you heart strong.

No no no no, keep your mind set in your ways,

Keep your heart strong.

'Cause I'll always remember you the same.

Oh eyes like wild flowers within demons of change.
