ohhh my... !

Alright, let's get down to business. I've just gotten settled at the cafe, though I wish it were a bit more warm in here! This afternoon I stopped by the Franklin Covey store, and while spending hours in a shop that sells planners may seem a bit much, it's really very easy to get lost in there. Anyway, I settled with the Rhapsody Classic and it's wonderful! It has a page for each day, room for notes, appointments, and much more. I also bought a fitness tracker, though I must be honest, I don't think it will get much use. Just owning it makes me feel good and almost accomplished. So now that I've got this spankin' new planner I need some plans! I've decided to give in and make a list of resolutions for the year. I really didn't want to, as I (regretably) fall into the category of having never really accomplished a resolution along with 27% of my fellow americans. So! with that being said..

1. Read my bible, daily
2. Set appropriate priorities and stick to them!
3. Go to class prepared
4. Eat, sleep and drink water every day
5. Monitor what I eat--no empty calories
6. Put the Sabbath into practice!
7. Uphold my Urbana commitment
8. Journal, blog, paint, crochet, sew, whatever! Keep my creativity alive despite the excuse of living the life of the dorm-room bound college student
9. Spend more time listening, and much less talking
10. Respect... everyone

I feel like each one deserves its own little subcategories. There's just so much that goes in to making each one of those resolutions come to pass. I'm glad I'll have Karissa to hold me accountable!

Last night's bible study was cancelled in honor of the football game (which we lost), and this weekend's trip to Dallas was cancelled because of the weather.. so now I'm sad and stuck at home! I have plans with Alex tonight, and maybe plans with Carl this weekend? Everything is really up in the air. I wish I was back at school so that I could have a definite set schedule again. It's the only way I properly function!
