2010: A New Year

I am a goal setter. It's what I do. I write things down so I can scratch them off. But, I can honestly say that I didn't make any resolutions this year.. which is probably out of shear laziness.

I guess that I have now been given the chance to make my list.. for a grade. Awesome.

I guess the first few things are a bit bland:
- Get a 4.0 Junior year (halfway there!)
- Get 4/5 on all my AP tests.. (except Latin)
- Keep up my Latin translations (sigh)
- Read APUSH (Definitely least likely to happen)

Okay on to bigger and better things:
- Spend less time on Facebook
- Read at least a book or two a month
- Keep it under 1000 texts a month (talk more, text less)
- Stay out of car wrecks related to "distractions"
- Drink more water
- Eat more fish, less red meat
- Watch less than 3 hours of TV a day (this ones difficult (: )

And the ones that I would really love:
- Get and keep a job that I like
- Have an amazing summer (road trip?)
- Listen to every song on my iPod on shuffle without skipping (1055- I can barely get through 15)
- Find a mentoring project that fascinates me
- Keep a garden (grow something edible)
- Buy more clothes from Goodwill and less from the mall
- Learn to sew
- Keep my friends close
- Take advantage of all opportunities presented to me


Honestly, I might accomplish one.. or all of them.. or none, but hey, I'm gonna try.. Either way, I know myself and I'm sure I'll live 2010 to the fullest.

  2. delete the songs you skip. i decided to cull my list and random is much more effective now that i've gotten rid of some of that musical dead weight. the TV one is gonna be hard. is that 3 real hours or 3 DVR hours. -- cause 3 DVR hours is like 4 "hour long dramas" or 8 half-hour shows a night.

  3. I feel guilty deleting songs. It's like, why did I put them on there in the first place? Come on, listen to it! And I pretty much only watch DVR.. but I have like 5 shows.. A few half hour shows and a few.. "hour long dramas". But, yeah. It's going to be tough.
