It Better be a HAPPY New Year

So, I pretty much suck. No, it’s okay you guys, no need to butter me up, I’m pretty aware that I SUCK at keeping promises to myself, to others, to anything I want to try. So, here’s my New Years Resolution list for the year 2008:

1. Obtain an internship
2. Learn how to do a round-off back hand spring
3. Find a place to try out trapeze and do so
4. Be on the Dean’s list at least once, I have 2 tries this year
5. Actually finish a lists of written tasks
6. Be able to run a mile in under 10 minutes
7. Attend every single class unless with liable cause to not do so
8. Have a regular study group
9. Learn to dance… something! Foxtrot, tango, I do not care.
10. Play a fearless audition (hahaha, this is THE least likely)

So, anything is bold is what I actually did. Well, that sucks. It’s just so… frikken EASY to give into temptation and sleep in or take a nap instead of going to class every once in awhile and I don’t do supplemental homework assignments to help get me Dean’s list. Thus, it has been decided that I will make more realistic goals to help me push myself toward those goals, because they’re still pretty awesome to have! AND HERE I DECREE MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS, TO KEEP UP WITH UNTIL 2010:

1. Do ALL homework that is suggested for me. No more of this “it’s optional” crap. The people who actually MAKE the Dean’s list frikken DO the homework, so don’t be so goddamn lazy, Sydney!
2. If I bought a planner, I’m pretty sure I should use it to it’s fullest. Don’t just write down dates for tests, get in quizzes, highlight them, DON’T MISS DEADLINES, don’t be dumb!
3. So apparently going to the gym is a great way to be less stressed. And, I mean, my friends and I keep telling each other we want to go in our free time… BUT WE DON’T. Hopefully we’ll find the motivation in us to actually GO and eventually, it’ll be something we look forward to.
4. Have a glass of soda once, maybe twice, a week. I already supplement water and juice, but I think I should a little bit more. And maybe I should be a little less reliant on the coffee…
5. Pull in my resources and regularly study – IN NEWMAN LIBRARY. Incidentally, that place is the SHIT.
6. For the love of God, keep studying regularly, and with other people. Cramming for exams suuuuuucks.
7. That internship is still sounding pretty juicy…
8. Save enough money to take a weekend to go on a fun trip to somewhere… at ANY time during the year. An epic trip NEEDS to be had.
9. Not failing isn’t enough – I want to freaking EXCEED and I have 5/8 left of my college career to make up for my mediocrity thus far. It WILL happen.
10. And finally, take my boyfriend along this crazy motivated journey. I don’t want to see him forced to change his major from something he loves to something he can just graduate with.
