New Years Resolutions

So, I realized what I just did. I just spent the last half an hour reading scriptures, Listening to music, and while doing that I was thinking about this semester. I think I'm ready, but from past experience, unless I write it down and have it exact goals. So I came up with some that I will follow. In other words, for the first time ever, I have made some new years resolutions that I am writing down and will follow without fail.

#1 Read scriptures at 7:30 for at least ten minutes. This is something that I CAN do I will never have classes that early, and I should almost never go anywhere during that time. The only thing I'd be cutting into would be my sleeping time.

#2 Check chickens right before doing scriptures, give them new water, check eggs, the like.

#3 Wear a white shirt and tie to every class and for much of the day while I'm doing school. I've heard and experienced that when you wear different things, it has different effects on you. A white shirt and tie will help me focus, I can take it off when I'm DONE with whatever assignments I need to do on the computer that day.

#4 Pray every morning and night. I have done Scriptures every day without fail for the last year, maybe longer. But I almost never say prayers at morning and night.

#5 Get every single World history assignment done before class. NEVER EVER EVER not do an assignment unless there is nothing I can do.

#6 Follow these things. I will look at them, and I will follow them, It WILL change me, it'll be a huge change. But I need this type of discipline in my life. I am WAY to undisciplined. My Yellow (carefree funloving) personality had recantly compleatly overrun my red (determined strong forceful) personality. But, if I give myself these types of goals, super specific, my super determined personality should take over, and I should soar. So no more of the super determined yet never-follows-through person. I will now, finally, stand and throw off the bonds of laziness.
I'll keep you posted.

Be strong, and of good courage.

*Takes one deep breath*
Alright. Break is over. (yeah, it took me this long for my brain to finally accept that) This is the time to stand and make this the best semester ever. I'm ready to ROCK. I am finally taking the amount of classes that should push me. (seven) I'll be busy and ready. AND AWESOME. I know that I'm saying almost the same thing that I said yesterday... but I'm needing to say it again. I'm going to make this the best time I've ever had. This semester, I've decided, is going to outdo the very first semester I ever had in Wiliamsburg. Yes, that's right, I believe that I can have that again. I. WILL. BE. OUTSTANDING. And it will spread, all emotions spread, if one person smiles, pretty soon everyone will be smiling, if one man is sad, people will join him. Well I a going to be the one to be strong. I am NEVER going to miss an assignment in World History. Yes, that is my goal. I will never miss an assignment because of laziness or negligence on my part. I'm weird, I could have inspirational people or my friends, or my family tell me this day in and out, but I wouldent do it, I'd be like "yeah, yeah... I'll do that... later" but if I make a promise to myself I don't break it. So through me this semester in World history will be AMAZING. I want this to be the best world history class ever, the one where everyone says, "I wish I could have been in THAT class!" With that, I now stand, after a year of negligence and laziness I now stand, and NEVER FALTER.

Time to start again.

I made it, I finished this semester with all A's and I had an awesome break.

And Now break is over. I had a three week break from school work. I've been lazy and such, didn't do much of ANYTHING. Now I have to get myself pumped to do school. 'Cause I am NOT feeling it right now. :P
I'm writing a short story, and I'm actually going to finish it, and I'm giving it a deadline. I am going to post it here Sunday before I go to bed, and it will be DONE. It may not be good, I don't know.... But it'll be done. So yeah, that will be cool. I'm going to be uber busy this semester, I'm taking 7 classes this semester. AND IT'LL BE AWESOMENESS. Okay, there, now I'm PUMPED.
