Welcome to 2008! Most people make resolutions around this time of year. Try to lose weight, study harder, read books they've wanted to, exercise more, etc etc. And they usually fizzle out within the first week. Many people say that's because the goals are too broad and impossible to reach. And that's probably true. I think it might also be because people think that if they mess up once, they should just stop. That's not the case at all. Since you're going to mess up anyways, when you make your resolutions you should keep that in mind. And don't be too hard on yourself when you slip up. It happens to everyone. Just keep trying!
My resolutions? Well, I haven't really thought through any major resolutions. I wasn't planning on making any this year. Mainly I'm going to try to do the things I'm doing more often and on a more frequent basis. I guess here's my "list":
-Practice my clarinet more
-Walk the dog every single day
-Cut back on soda (okay, I really doubt that's going to happen)
-Make sure I take time to relax and not go completely insane over IB
Then there are other things, like apply for scholarships, put more effort into Bio homework, show up to Bio on time, that I need to do whether I want to or not.
And maybe, just maybe, I might start exercising again (GASP)! Although I'll probably count walking the dog as my daily exercise (I'll write about that in another entry)
