This New Year's
I blew off my own party- one that I've been planning on being at since it was created. Yeah. I'm not going.
Weirdly enough, I'm not disappointed in myself. I don't feel like I'm being a jerk or anything. It's my mom's birthday, and I think it was important that I spend this evening with her and my family. We're spending a quiet year in.
And in that case, I am now making a list of New Years Promises. They aren't resolutions, just things I want to try at.
- I want to be skinnier. I'm going to lose some major weight. I feel unhealthy in my own body, so I'm going to start trying to be healthier now.
- I'm going to clean out my entire closet and throw away/donate anything I don't think I'll ever wear again.
- I'm applying to 7 colleges: UCF, Stetson, Flagler, OleMiss, Iowa, Elmhurst, and ISU. I intend to get in to every single one of them.
- I want A's in ALL of my classes this semester. All of them. Every single one. My 8 week retake class as well. I intend to take full advantage of my school's grade forgiveness policy.
- I want to be in Florida by August permanently. That's all there is to that.
- I'm going to be nicer to my family, and try harder for us to all get along. I think that's important this year, especially now that things are calming down and I might be moving again soon. I think part of the reason that Florida didn't work last time is that I ran away from my family, and left on such poor terms when I decided to stay. If I plan on staying in Florida again, I need to be on better terms with my family.
