Day Three-Hundred and Sixty-Six

It all started when I saw Jeremy's year of posts. Every day he wrote something. I thought it would be simple. Just spend five minutes each day writing some cool, little post. On Day One I thought it would be easy. By Day One-Hundred and Seven, I was exhausted and didn't want to write anything. By Day One-Hundred and Ninety-Two, I wasn't posting regular pictures. There have been several days this year that I sat down and didn't know what to write about. Sometimes it was because nothing cool had happened or I didn't think you would want to read about it. Other days I just ran out of time. I think this is the first time I've stayed committed to something for an entire year with only myself to answer to. Some of you have talked to me about what was going on in my life because you read this, others have scolded me for being weeks behind. So I guess I felt responsible to my readers as well. This has really been a good thing for me...I think. But I am not sure whether it will continue into the new year. I mean, it's been real and it's been fun, but it's also been about as annoying as a writing assignment for an English Composition class! Can you imagine sitting down every day for 366 days and spending anywhere from 5 - 45 minutes writing a post you aren't even sure will be read?!

I have some plans for the new year. Partially due to my new roommate, Abbs, I will cease drinking sodas. Whereas I had 2-4 Dr. Peppers a day last semester, there will be no soda in my diet. Another change will be a regular workout. Instead of gift cards, my parents have agreed to give me that amount in cash if I send a workout report at least 3 times a week to them via email. Yes, I am going to be one of those annoying people in the gym right after new years. But I won't be leaving very soon. My final plan is to get no lower than a 3.84 this semester. That means I'm going to have to do better than a C in Intermediate Accounting II. I know I can do it if I keep my eyes on the prize and don't let others distract me!

Summary:

1. No Soda
2. More Exercise
3. Better Grades

I am looking forward to this New Year! I know God has big plans for me! I'm just waiting to see what they are! Happy New Year!
