another one of those posts i guess.
this is a rambler, or at least it will be.
tis the new year, and that means new resolutions which will last a whole week, maybe a month if i try really hard.
my first resolution is to work out at least 4 times a week. with three jobs and 12 credits this seems like a task, but for some reason i feel like i have a lot more free time. i think having classes in the morning and no work in the late afternoon/evening really helps. so far i have worked out two times, and there are still 3 days left. i think it would be much easier if i found my student id card- this way i could use the tredmils at the rec center. hopefully next week!
my second resolution is to cook dinner at least 4 nights a week. i feel bad saying 4. i work until 11 two night of the week and there will definately be nights when i do not want to cook. i guess i am being reasonable, and shouldn't feel bad at all. this is a drastic improvement from the 4 years when i rarely made an actualy dinner. the closest thing was a quesadilla or tuna melt, pretty pathetic.
another resolution is to do my homework through out the week istead of being the master-procrastinator i totally am. i am not really sure how effective this one will be. i have failed miserably this first week of school, but then again we do have Monday off... Oh all I can think about are the excuses!
yet another resolution is to call people. i have this horrible feeling anytime i want to call someone that i may be bugging them, and that if they really wanted to talk to me they would call. well this has not proven to be true thus far, and i really don't get to many phone calls. so this year i am going to have a social life- well an improved one anyway and this will be due to my new kick-ass self that calls people.
number whatever resolution is to write thank you notes for gifts. i know this is something people have been doing for a long time, and it really is the proper thing to do, but i am horrible at it. actually i am Horrible at it, yeah i even deserve a capital h (H). ha. it's not that i am ungrateful or forget to be polite, but well actually i do forget. you would too if you have 3 jobs and were taking a full course load, so shove it! i am trying here.
and the last, and probably the most important resolution is to be positive about things. even the littlest things. i am a negative person. it runs through my veins. i know this because i constantly hear about how my grandmother can say nothing but negative things, which makes me realize that my mother is the same as hers, and i know i am just following suit here. hopefully i can break the chain. it's not healthy, it's not fun, and it doesn't make too many people want to be around you. or that could be because i haven't showered... ha.
this year should be a good one. i will have to move at least one more time, i will teach which i have never done before, i'll take the summer off and hopefully i'll be more positive. that's the key of it all. no matter what life throws you can make it through if you keep your head up and move on. good luck with all your resolutions.
