New Years Resolutions

A little late on this, but better than never! Anyways, I've got some new ones, and unfortunately I have one old one that I was hoping to never make again. So here they are:

1. Get into shape - This is the one that's returning, only this time I didn't say "lose weight" because it turns out that if you build up muscle, you gain weight-but the good kind! But unlike the last time I lost wieght, which was by forgetting to eat while on the computer, I am going to do it right this time. So one of they ways is to cut down on drinking soda & eating junk food and drink more water and eat healthier snaacks instead. Then I am going to be excercising more, and since I've learned the excercises you can do while sitting at the computer, I now have no excuses to not excercise.

2. When I am back in school, I will use the tutoring services offered by my college, especially for math and German! Well actually that's all I would need a tutor for, but I have been at my junior college for too long! and it is time I graduate so I can move on. First so I can get an entry level job in the graphic design field, and then when I can afford it, I can pursue a bachelor's degree.

3. Whenever I have money, try to spend it more wisely instead of wasting it on things like junk food or a bunch of things I want. I shamefully admit to spending half my financial aid on "personal expenses", so this time around, when I get my aid for spring semester, I will use it only for school expenses, then when I have anything left at the end of the semester, then I can buy the personal things I want like CDs and Transformers figures!

4. I will try not to put off any projects if I start new ones. Or in other words, don't start new projects until I have the old ones done! I have a stack of artwork I've been wanting to complete, but they get pushed to the back burner.

5. Try really really hard to tolerate my sister's boyfriend! I can't stand him because he's annoying, he has butted into conversations he doesn't belong in, finds ways to make snide remarks -especially in response to things I've said in the past, and has brainwashed my sister into joining his crazy church whose members speak in tongues (or just babbling non-sense!) it's sad cause she has changed so much! From the way she dresses to what she believed in politics. So why must I learn to tolerate him? Because they're talking about how thye're gonna get married someday and if they do, my family will be stuck with him, especially if they have kids!

OK so that last resolution was pretty bleak, but I at least hope to conquer most of these.
