so those were my new years resolutions for 2005. and i know new years isn't for a while but for some reason i feel like doing this now. its probably because i dont feel like studying for french or geometry. so here goes..
#1- drink more water.. i guess i have.. i probably havent'.. i started to a couple months ago but then that went downhill. oh wells.
#2- eat healthier.. i have definetly done this. i eat a salad most days for lunch or a soup and i snack a lot less and yea. i'm proud of myself :D
#3- exercise more... YESSSS i joined the tennis team and i started running. even tho now its too cold and i'm a wimp and i dont wanna go out in the cold. but i'm gonna go to the gym with dad at night starting soon since its winter and i dont wanna get fat again. and in the spring i did that gym thing with jen britt and ash. whoooo i did something :D
#4- get a job.. well it didn't happen until recently even tho i tried really hard all last year.. and i've only worked one day so far but i have my own card thinger at Debbie's Designs so i'd call that official. and i love it there. yayyy we're doin good.
#5- care less about boys.. hmmm this is a tough one. i dont think boys control my life as much as they used to since i've stopped caring about only one boy and started flirting with as many as possible. it's quite fun. i try to have atleast one boy to flirt with for every class i go to, you know just to keep it interesting. so i think i did good on that :D
#6- care more about school.. i did so good this marking period guys. lets see.. A+, A, A+, A+, lunch, B- (okay okay i such at math), A, gym idk what i think an A, B+ (i dont know how i came out with that in english but hey, i'll take it) i'm oh so proud of myself. but i do have a tendency to do really good the first marking period and then suck in the second so i'll let you know how that goes. but i still think i achieved my goal on that lol.. and its hard to think back that far but i think i did good last year too :D
#7- become closer with some people.. this is a hard one. because i've definetly made a lot of new friends whom i love but i've definetly grown apart from some too... but idk i guess that was kinda inevitable. but i've definetly gained more than i've lost so that makes me happy
#8- start hanging out with people i never thought i'd hang out with.. idk how good i did on this.. i did go to that party once with a whole bunch of people i dont know but i was kinda a bore the whole night so i can't pat myself on the back for that one- but i hung out wiht kev and walter that night lol idk i'm slowly but surely broadening my friends.. i'm gettin there thats a goal in the process of being accomplished we'll say
#9- become more open minded.. hmmmm idk where i am on this one.. i dont think i've changed much i sitll have my opinions and i'm still not afraid to shair them and you sitll get what you see when it comes to me. i dont think i'm as judgemental as i used to be? idk i really can't answer that one
#10- be nicer to my dad and apreciate my family more.. this has gone pretty well. we dont fight as much and my dad and I have gotten a lot closer i'd say. last night we sat at the kitchen table and he had a beer and i had a wine cooler (he let me have one! and i was very very happy :D) and i beat his ass in Spit. it was quite a good time. yay.
#11- get along with my brother... it was a bit rocky last year and during the summer but lately its been going really well.. i'm happy he's living at home and i like seeing him and all that good stuff. i think we're finally getting to that age when we can both get along like our parents always told us we would. :D
#12-not get upset about little things.. i'm not sure.. lately i've been pretty blahh so i dont know.. i think i've become more chill..?
#13- lose weight.. definetly accomplished that one. and i must say i'm proud. i feel a lot better about myself than i did this time last year and thats a great feeling.. yay karen :D
#14- not complain so much.. hah probably haven't gotten very far on this one. its just natural for me. idk. i'm gonna try and make a very good effort tho. really i am. okay i failed at this one oh wells. i've been doin good tho!
#15- be a better friend to everyone.. i think i'm a good friend. idk i guess i cant' really answer this myself its more of a "you tell me" thing but i think i'm good. like if i wasn't me i'd want to be friends with me.. lol
#16- be more appreciative of everything i have.. i think i'm doin good.. my girl scout troup built a park over the spring/summer so that was a lot of fun but i lot of hard work but it makes ya feel good about yourself. giving back is a good thing :D
#17- call my grandma more.. i've been trying really hard. twice a week is what i aim for.. plus dinner every sunday night so thats good. i'm just so afraid of losing her. okay i can't start thinkin about that.
#18- care less about what other people think of me.. well i failed at this one cause i definetly care more but i dont think thats a bad thing anymore.. its good to fit in with everyone and not be the person people take a double take of when they see you in the hallway. idk thats how i am atleast. i mean individualism is good but i dont wanna be the person who's parents would like reject them if they dressed like that lol. its more of just caring about my appearance more and i think thats a good thing so i didn't accomplish it but its not my goal anymore so HA.
#19-not procrastinate so much.. well this hasn't changed at all. still as much of a procrastinator as ever. oh well. i failed that one.
#20- take new things as being exciting and not scary.. i think i've finally gotten this. i find new things exciting now.. like my first day of work and all that good stuff. i mean c'mon i went out west for the first time without my parents and had the best time of my life.. pat on the back for that one lol- i think i'm starting to find that life is more fun if you get excited about it instead of being afraid of it :D
#21- accept change better.. probably hasn't changed. but thats just who i am and i dont think it ever will. i've never liked change. i have my comfort zone and i dont like it to get messed up. hm.
#22- be less judgemental of other people.. maybe? i'm not sure. i still judge people its just my nature but i think i give them a chance first before i write them off. i like meeting new people so yea i'd say i did good.
#23- get more sleep.. in the summer when i slept till like 11 i definetly got that.. but lately i mean its not my fault MTV wants to air all their good shows at 10 instead of 9:30! lol oh wells
#24- help other people more.. umm like i said i built that park.. and i always help my mom.. and people in school... i'd say i'm a pretty helpful kid.
#25-learn how to budget my time better.. nahh the clock still strikes 8 or 9 before i even start my homework. hm.
#26- get involved in more things.. french club? free the children? FBLA? good enough for me! lol i'm tryin real hard
#27- have an awesomely wonderful time on the cruise and take in everything that i can.. the cruise was amazing. amazing. i learned a very important lesson on that ship during that week. i miss him still.. but what can ya do. i took risks i never thought i would. and the feeling is amazing. i wouldn't trade that feeling i had on that top deck for the world. amazing.
#28- appreciate my time in Wildwood more and not spend the whole two weeks thinking about how i wanna go home and actually enjoy the time while i have it.. i LOVED wildwood this year. we met the best people who i still think about all the time and keep in touch with. everyone got along so well. it was our first year without Bob which was depressing. i miss him so much still. but we had beautiful weather and we had so much fun. sooo many awesome memories. and i got to meet all of britt's crazy friends. what a great great time. the place where i stay is getting knocked down but i certainly loved it while it lasted. i have so many memories in that apartment. okay this is depressing.
well that was intersting. things change a lot in almost a year. if you read it, i hope you enjoyed it. i went to a college fair today. it was interesting. i really wanna go to college. okay have a good night <3
