Goals

Note to self:
Stick to this.

I've recently decided that I want to change some things. I want to be different, I want to be better. I don't know what to call these goals. To me, they seem like "late" or "delayed" New Year's resolutions. But anyways, here they are (short and sweet, no explanations):

1. Manage time better
2. Make better study habits
3. Read more
4. Gain all the experience I can
5. Become more organized
6. Make more connections; network
7. Really focus on my future
8. Be confident
9. Explore all options
10. Be a better speaker

If some of my friends or acquaintances read this entry (and I could name specific individuals...), they'd probably be thinking to themselves: "Why exactly does she feel this way? Doesn't she do enough already?" But I've realized that if I want to do something, I have to do it for me, not for anyone else. That realization came along with being 8 hours away from home for school...I've learned so much more about life, about other people, and about myself. I feel like I'm finally becoming comfortable with who I am, and the only person I need to satisfy is me.

Redoing the List

Note to self:
Try not to get hooked on surveys.

1. I'm doing this because it's fun and my boyfriend's new list made me want to redo mine. AND I only made a list of 16 things.
2. I cleaned the entire dorm Sunday night, and my roommates have already found a way to make the room dirty.
3. I'm avoiding homework.
4. I love learning and speaking Spanish.
5. I'm listening to Andrea Bocelli: Amore.
6. I speak my mind more now than before.
7. I'm obsessed with getting straight A's.
8. I'm excited that my family is coming to see me Friday.
9. I bet you a million bucks that my boyfriend is better than yours.
10. I had to buy 9 books for my literature class this semester.
11. I'm an ambassador for my college and have to wear an ugly, bright, red blazer.
12. I go to school 8 hours away from home and it's a love-hate ordeal.
13. The wipe board calendar on my wall is still written for January.
14. My room is pretty n pink.
15. I'm already tired of hearing about the Chris Brown and Rihanna case.
16. I'm sure I watch more news television than you--my TV stays on CNN.
17. My TV also plays the Cosby Show and Fresh Prince occasionally.
18. The built-in DVD player on my TV is broken.
19. I'm sick of writing about my TV.
20. I hate being so far away from the people I love.
21. If I could have another hobby, it'd be professional photography.
22. I'd have to learn how to become an amazing photographer first though...
23. I have problems remembering to make my make-up off before I go to sleep sometimes.
24. I strongly dislike my current internship.
25. Writing 25 random things is pretty difficult for me.

starting fresh

Note to self:
Never delete another blog.

I've started and deleted blogs on this website about...three or four times. I won't do that again because it takes too long to think of a clever blog title. More to come later...
