Goodbye, 2011
Alright, procrastinating from doing my homework, woo! My New Year's resolution list:
- READ MORE. I think this is one of my resolutions every year. Honestly, I really do want to change it this upcoming year. As long as I read every day, even just like 15-20 pages, then I should get through most of those books sitting in the pile in my room.
- Lose some weight. I don't have a weight loss goal per se, but I'd like to drop to a dress size 18 if possible (at least that by the time I buy my dress for prom).
- Study harder. At least, for French and history and maybe pay better attention to what's in the textbook. My teacher loves to make us read from the textbook, not go over it in class and then test us on it two weeks later with very specific things they talked about in the text. For example, in the textbook they talked about why in Egypt they don't have an interest in their ancient past because it's a Muslim country and it would go against their beliefs to take an interest in polytheism (or something to that effect... my explanation is definitely off, though). They mentioned it briefly in the text, he never went over it in class, and then he put that as an open-ended question on our first test. So yeah. Also, I want 4's or 5's on my AP exams.
- Procrastinate less. Ahahaha, let's see how this one happens.
- Finish up series that I didn't finish. The John Adams HBO series, is one example in addition to the myriad of anime I have to get through.
- Prepare myself for college.
