yay 2008!

so it's the beginning of another new year, and i must say that i'm looking forward to the fresh start. i just read over my resolutions from last year, and i think i can confidently say that i've failed completely at the mass majority of them. but whatever. i'm making a new list this year that i can perhaps only partially fail at this time next year. okay, here they are...

1 - i will get healthy. i'm off to a good start on this one already, though the holdiays were rough. i've got myself a gym membership and i'm out of excuses. all the fixins for success.

2 - i will read at least 15 books. i'm hoping to join at least one book club to help me out with this one.

3 - i will not live in filth. i'm pretty disgusted with what my apartment looked like for most of 2007. it's time to be a grown up. and clean up.

4 - i will meet new people. to do this, i have to knock it off with the shyness. this one will be difficult.

5 - i will lessen my cursing. it's getting out of hand, and it just makes me sound ridiculous. this also means i will stop yelling at fellow drivers. they're not making me late, i'm making me late.

6 - i will be nice. this includes learning to be more patient. returning my sister's calls. supporting my friend's decisions. being less angry. being more positive.

7 - i will find a job that i have passion for. this one scares me the most. it means that i first have to find out what i have passion for, then i have to get a job doing that. i may be setting myself up for failure on this one. and there i go with the negativity again...

8 - i will cook/bake more often. and get better at it!

9 - i will pay off my credit card and build up my savings account. hopefully my future job that i have passion for pays well.

10 - i will be creative. writing, painting, etc.

hefty goals, i know. but i can do it.
