and yet another new year *edit*

This is the third new year since I began this diary back in 2003 (wow that sounds so long ago) So once again, almost a tradition now, New Year’s resolutions from last year and respective results:

I resolved:

• to stop biting my fingernails that lasted until about April
• to be more considerate of other people’s feelings actually i was, even though I forgot I even made this resolution
• to quit whining about my lack of a love life, and just be happy with me the way i am another one that lasted until about April–when I actually got a boyfriend–but everytime that I was without a boy, I was pretty happy… it was when I got with the boys that the problems started happening 😛 (j/k… sort of)
• to study daily in addition to doing assigned work no comment
• to make sure that i know the person’s name *before* i hook up with them yes! i did! of course, that doesn’t guarantee that I remembered the person’s name afterward
• to never drink on tuesdays this one was okay, until I got sick a month or two ago and made myself a couple of hot toddies
• to run or exercise at least every other day again, no comment

And new resolutions for this year:

I resolve:

• to not bite my nails again, since I really do need to stop that, and I did get pretty far last year! (four months has to be like a record for me)
• to not flunk out of school
• to (after January 17th) never work at Redner’s Warehouse Markets or any affiliate thereof (this may not sound like a biggie, but for me it will mean actually looking for a job for the first time since I was 15)

Okay, that’s all I can think of for now. I’ll edit if/when I think of another. I was going to make “lose weight” and/or “excercise” a resolution again, but I heard on the news that by making that your resolution (and/or starting a diet on a monday) actually sets you up for failure. I forget how. But you should never make weight loss a new year’s resolution for that very reason.

*edit*
I forgot to mention… I just noticed that exactly one year ago, when I made my new year’s resolutions, I said “I don’t like odd-numbered years, they have bad energy” And just the other day I commented that 2005 has been the most difficult year of my life so far. Coincidence? Considering I actually forgot that I had said that until a half hour ago, I think not.
