More cycling. My goal is to do a long-distance multi-day ride. One possibility is to cycle from London to Paris, crossing the channel either by taking a ferry at Newhaven (near Brighton) to Dieppe or taking the Channel Tunnel from Dover to Calais. Both routes take about twenty-something hours to go about 280 miles. The longest I've ever cycled in one go is 50 miles, so I will have to increase that amount before I set off on this trip by going on some one-day rides. One such ride would be to go from London to Brighton - it's about 60 miles, or 70 miles or 86 depending on the route.

I want to study in a smarter way, I spent a lot of last term pissing around which meant I had to cram in order to take my exams. I want to avoid that. Of course, I say this every term but this term was a bit different as I was in a new university (MSc) and wasn't exactly sure what to expect.

I also want to take part in political activism of some sort, I am pretty vocal and opinionated about politics but it feels increasingly like I 'ought' to take part in a more meaningful way. I don't really know...

Oh, I also got a load of tubs and things for Christmas so I can cook food and store it for later. Hopefully this will reduce the need for me to eat meals out as I will be able to take decent packed lunch with me to university every day instead of relying on overpriced cafeteria food.
