Report

Okay folks. Made my November Resolutions and goodness gracious, this month is already over. I'm still stuck on the fact that Halloween already happened. Where did my semester go? And can I get it back?

I wish I could report back to you with a lengthy, feel-good checklist of all the things I accomplished this month, but I really can't. That would cause me to lie extensively to the public. However, I'm giving myself an extension. It seems silly to give these things up with only a few weeks left of the semester! So the things I haven't done yet, I'm gonna give it a shot. I have until December 17.

Better late than never, right?

Resolution Verdict:
1) Rec Center 3x/ week (FAIL)
-extenuating circumstances + sudden hectic craziness kept this resolution from being accomplished.
-I wish "wanting" to go to the gym counted for going. This, however, isn't so.

2) Vitamins (FAIL)
-I didn't even try.
-But I will try starting Monday.

3) Facebook limit 5 hrs/week (NEITHER..?)
-I started logging my time and I realized I really only was spending about 10-15 minutes per day.
-Clearly, this was not as big of an issue as I thought it was.

4) Healthy Snacking (PASS)
-healthy snacking this November pretty much looked like no snacking. And I did pretty good other wise- until I got home for Thanksgiving and suddenly had an oven to bake things in :/ What's a girl to do?

5) Read a Book (FAIL)
-boo... :( If textbooks counted, I read several.

6) Journal everyday (PASS)
-I journaled almost everyday.. and that's a good enough start for me!

7) "Beautiful Things" reel (NEITHER)
-It's in the production stage.

8) Fix Surfboard (FAIL)
-apathetic + no desire to freeze in the frigid East Pacific = I don't care about surfing right now.

9) Marching band show (PASS)
-Went to Megan's competition in Mission Viejo. It was so fun!

10) Blog (FAIL)
-well, haven't blogged all month. I just don't know what to write about. Who reads this stuff anyways?
-I actually have a blog about Music that's being written... It's just taking a long time because it means so much to me.


BLOG ABOUT MUSIC - COMING SOON!
stay tuned.

November Resolutions

The fact that I haven't blogged in over a month should be enough to tell you I've got some issues that need to be worked out. Thus I give you the November Resolutions. Their whats and whys are listed below, as well as in the side bar of my blog- where any resolutions can be added hereafter.

1. Go to the Student Rec Center at least 3 times a week.

-why:

1) it's free

2) stay healthy and fit!

2. Take vitamins..

-why:

1) during my freshman year, I actually noticed a difference in my overall energy throughout the day when I did & didn't take vitamins.

2) I don't drink enough milk.

3. No more than 5 hours of Facebook per week. (I WILL be logging my time).

-why:

1) pointless hours spent clicking through pages results in unneeded stress when academic deadlines approach.

2) I'd rather talk to you on the phone.

4. Only healthy snacking.

-why:

1) It's almost self explanatory.

2) you don't even want to know how much candy and how many pop tarts I ate last week.

5. Read 1 book (not school related).

-why:

1) makes you a better writer.

2) I miss just reading a book to read it. No strings attached. No highlighter. No annotations. No essay. Nothing.

6. Journal every day.

-why:

1) I like to write.

2) I did this for my entire 8th grade year, and my memories from that time remain fresher than any of my years in high school.

3) It's fun to look back and see what I was learning, and how I've changed.

7. Make a little video reel of "everyday" things that I think are beautiful

-why:

1) Just because.

8. Get my surfboard fixed.

-why:

1) Because it's broken.

2) I miss surfing.

3) So I can go surfing..

9. Go to at least one of Megan's marching band shows.

-why:

1) She is totally awesome.

2) I love seeing the shows.

3) Her band has won every competition so far this year :)

10. Blog

-why:

1) *see Resolution 6; why #1.

2) *see Resolution 6; why #3.

3) *see Resolution 7; why #1.
