New Year's Resolutions--New Year, New You!!
January is almost over, I know, but I am just now getting around to my resolutions. I was so busy working at the Hilton, The Islander, being sick, having low blood sugar, having a bladder infection, trying to spend time with S and my pets, and family, getting my new horse...and so on that I barely gave resolutions any thought. I have given some thought to resolutions in the last few days and am now ready to commit to some on paper. 2007 is going to be a big year for me, after all this is the year when I graduate college. I do not know where I will be at the end of 2007. I mean this as where I will be physically living and in all other senses of the word. The future is the great wide unknown. Change in and of itself, whether it is good or bad, can be scary. I have to keep reminding myself change can be a good thing! After all, I have sort of given myself a life makeover in the past few years. 2003 was a really weird year for me and was not really the best. 2004 and 2005 were really good years. 2006 wasn't bad either.
Resolutions
1. Drink more water
This one should be self explanatory.
Eat more fruits and veggies.
2. Continue getting good grades in school. Nothing below a B is acceptable, ever. It is really important to me that I do well in HRTM 270. Get a good internship for this summer.
3. Go to all of my classes.
4. Travel somewhere I have never been (already Ashley and I did this today, so the year is off to a good start). Try to go to New York to visit for father for the first time ever, maybe try to go to Texas again. Hawaii is a big dream destination of mine. In 2006 I had the opportunity to go on a vacation with Shawn and also go to Florida for the first time in 10 years.
5. Get a flat stomach for once and for all.
6. Keep up with my skin care. I started ProActiv Solution about a month ago and what a difference! Also, moisturize and wear sunscreen. Also, my teeth. I recently had some very expensive and painful dental work done. Now I have been flossing a few times a week. Continue flossing throughout year.
7. Attend career fairs and the career center to start putting my resume out. I feel like this is something I could potentially become lazy about because it may scare me on some subconcious level. Already one of my co-workers gave me some helpful suggestions that I immediately put to use on my resume. I also have had it printed on some really nice ivory resume paper. Also, get a really good interview suit.
8. Get hired to work the week of the Masters at Augusta National Golf course, preferably as a bartender or in the pro-shop. Already went for the interview!!
9. Work on my tan but not too much. Only natural sunlight, never in the tanning bed. Also, sunscreen on face. That is what bronzer is for!
10. Continue with jazz dance class and practice more. Improve as a dancer overall. Imporve flexability.
11. Continue to grow closer with my boyfriend, S. Our relationship has been through a lot but so far has really stood the test of time. (3 years and counting). Hopefully our relationship will continue to move forward.
12. Stay in touch with the very few and precious old friends I have. Such as Jamie, Lindsay, Jenn and Bradleigh, PR, AF, Jeremiah....
13. Make a few new friends (it has always been hard for me to make friends) but only if they are really worth having as friends. Over the past few years I have really found out who my real friends are and as a result seem to have a lot fewer of them.
14. Take excellent care of my pets (my horse my Mom takes primary responsibility for, my dog Morgan-Annabel and cat, Ricky I take responsibility for and will take with me when I get to wherever I end up going).
15. Become more responsible. Over the past few years I have become a lot better about going places on time and want to continue this pattern. Part of this will also be managing my time better. Getting better about procrastinating. Also, be more organized. Put all my pictures into some sort of chronological album. Clean the house. Paint the 1970s ugly yellow shelves white. Maybe even a bight crisp white and paint the inside parts a Tiffany's box blue or other fun color.
16. Get a really good hair cut, but continue to keep my hair long. I have had a hard time finding a good stylist. I have difficult hair and not every stylist understands curly hair.
17. Find a really nice and cozy place to live when I graduate. I have lived in both a house and apartment that were less than nice before. I was fine with it then,but now I feel like I am older and need a place where I feel comfortable and can relax. It would be best if I had access to a place to walk Morgan and a pool to lay out.
18. Get myself a real piece of furniture. A nice piece of furniture, even if I do luck out and find it at Goodwill or a yard sale I want Pottery Barn quality. Commit to a color scheme and decorate.
19. Take naps. Sit in the sunshine. Hoola Hoop. Blow bubbles. Wear flip flops. Drink tea. Learn a new recipe. Read. Spend days doing nothing (which seems to be few and far between now). See some baseball games. Drink lemonade.
20. Make the time to spend with my family. Quality time.
