Making Time for ME

Making time for me.  It's one of my New Year's Resolutions.  And like all my other resolutions, it's written on a colored note card and taped to the part of my desk right above my computer.  I purposefully put them right where I will see them daily.  So here it goes... my simple resolutions to make me a more happy person than I already am:

1. Make time for ME.
2. Wake up no later than 10 a.m. on Tuesdays and make use of that time.
3. DON'T HIT SNOOZE
4. Email Professor Nichols once a month
5. Run at least FIVE miles every week.
6. DO NOT TEXT in MA 265, MA 266, ME 200, or AAE 204.
7. Eat 1 apple a day!

I could put stuff like read my thermo chapter before going to class, be on time for my 7:30 a.m. class every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, or wear my hair in at least three different ways each week (I confess: I fall into wearing the same hairstyle almost every day).  But I liked these goals because I know I can attain these goals.  Check out my progress: I ran 2 miles yesterday, at an apple yesterday (note to self... eat one at dinner!), and haven't hit snooze for the past 3 days.  Doing the math, I'd say I'm on my way.

I'm been feeling a little down... It might have to do with a heavy class load this semester, worry about finding an internship/research for the summer, or that my best friend is leaving the country tomorrow for a semester in Wales.  Or maybe it's that I'm Services Head of KKY, I regret not being more active in SWE, and I'm considering getting a job this semester as a grader. Yikes!

 I'm determined to pick myself up and move forward.  I can do it!  It's not exactly poetic, but that my mantra. I plan on journaling and blogging more to help me get my emotions out.

Sunshine and smiles,
