New Year's Resolutions

1. Eat healthier. Not so much cheese n crackers, not so much bacon, not so much processed food, not so many SWEETS! Learn to cook more stuff! (no heart attacks at age 30, ok.)

2. Work harder. Do homework as soon as it's assigned! It will be easier and more enjoyable this way.

3. Clean room, and keep it clean. . . this will be easy if I do #2.

4. Be ambitious and independent!!! Do what you have to do.

the world is getting to be a little much
