EC: New Year's Resolution

     Let's just say that keeping New Year's resolutions is not one of my strong suits. I start with enough motivation that I think will last me the entire year, but no, it dwindles to nothing after a month or two. I say that I'll start running in the mornings tomorrow, then tomorrow becomes the next day, and the next day, until before I know it, its been an entire year and the cycle starts over again. This year... well, I'll try to keep my motivation high, but no guarantees there. I have a few resolutions that I would like to achieve this year (if possible...) and they are as follows:

• Organize My Time More Efficiently: This is something that I have been struggling with for the past few years since homework started to come piling in. I will make myself a schedule and a to do list but not follow it at all. If I were to complete this resolution, I would hope the outcome to be going to sleep earlier and a noticeable decrease in my stress level.

• Get In Shape/Start Jogging: Alright, so I have made this resolution a few times in the past, but this time I hope that it will actually take place and I will have the self control to get off that computer and jog around the neighborhood once in a week. The weather might be a barrier, but I guess I use that as an excuse too often.

• Swim More: Joining the swim team this year was great, I meet so many more people, and exercised too. I love the competitive feel of meets and the school spirit. Therefore, this year, I plan to go to the YMCA at least three times a week to swim and hopefully decrease my times. Right now I can swim 50 yards freestyle in 32.62 seconds, so this year, I want to make it under 30 seconds. This would also further help my goal of joining JV by Junior year.

 

1. Plan For The Future: In the time being, I have no idea what I would like to have as a career. Not a single clue. I do have a few more years, but I think it would help make myself more motivated if I had a clear goal to what I would like to be when I grow up.

     So those are my resolutions, whether I follow them or not, well, I guess we'll have to find out.
