2011 goals

In my other blog, I always right down my goals and then I evaluate them when the year is up. I'm still going to do that, but I'll probably copy them here. So 2011 will be the second half of my senior year and my first half of my second senior year at Graceland. It will also be awesome. So here are my goals:

1. Weight loss: Again. And this time I'm not going to give myself a specific pound number to reach. I am just going to say that I want to continue working on being fit and that hopefully in a year I will be closer to my goal. Over the summer I want to get a bike and exercise with that. Right now I am at size 16 pants. If I can get down to 12 or even 13 by the end of the year, I will be happy.

2. Social: I want to continue befriending people. Specifically guys. I need to start being more confident around guys. I hope that in Spring semester, I will get to know a lot of people more.

3. School: I want to write some really great stuff for school. I need to start really writing well to get into graduate school. I want to apply to graduate schools and rock the GRE's. I want to do really well in my Vis Comm classes and I want to learn something new and interesting in Filmmaking.

4. Writing/The Tower: I want to begin working at the writing center, not only to beef up my resume, but also to get better at writing. I also want to really make The Tower better. We're starting the new layout this semester, and I hope to grab more people's attention.

5. Art: I need to have a solid idea for my art show. I want to rock the shit out of it.

That's pretty much it. I just want to continue doing what I've been doing. I'm really excited for 2011.

"When did I become a ghost?"

So like in a week in a half, I'm going to head back to Iowa. I am getting some furniture at IKEA tomorrow and I'm going to bring it back to Iowa for my apartment. It's gonna be awesome. I'm getting a new TV stand and probably a DVD holder. I might also get some plants and lights or something. I'm excited. I am probably going to work for the rest of my time here, so that should help me with bills and stuff for a while.

I'm actually really excited for school again. I miss it! I love school so much and I'm excited for my classes this semester. I know so many people in my classes and I'm psyched to be in class with these people. I am pretty sure that this semester will freaking rock.

Christmas time!

It's Christmas! Huzzah! I can't really breath since the dog's hair is giving me allergies. I wish I could breath. So I've had a pretty good break so far. On Saturday after I got home we went to see Black Swan, which was SO good. I need to see it again before it leaves theaters. Then on Sunday I just kinda relaxed. On Monday mommy and I went to Kohls and she bought me some nifty clothes! Yey. On Tuesday I worked at the deli for a while, which is good because I need the money! Then on Wednesday I worked again from 9-5! On Thursday Cat and I went to the city! We went and say the big tree which was so awesome because we got to see 30 Rock! I mean I probably stepped somewhere Tina Fey stepped!!! Ahhh it was so so so cool. Then we went to the MoMA, or the Museum of Modern Art for a while, and even better we got in free! We'll probably go again before I leave to spend more time there. I bought some art books and some notebooks there. It was so cool. Then Cat and I went to Mt. Ivy to get some lunch. I got a grilled cheese, yummy! Then Cat and I went to Liquid Glass, the bong/bowl store! I got the most beautiful color-changing bong. I'm calling her Maude. She is perfection. I can't wait to take a hit out of her. Then we came home and chilled.

On Friday I worked again for like 4 hours. I then began to feel really sick, so I took a super long nap. YEY NAPS!

And today, is Saturday, or Christmas!!! I love Christmas! I woke up to find a garbage bin full of gifts and irish candies! Yummy. Then we watched some T.V. and relaxed. We had some brekky and then we got to open GIFTS! GIFTS! Awesome. So I got my new phone from momma, the Droid Incredible! I got a Lady Gaga shirt and a Lady Gaga calender from Bri. Bri also got me a Lady Gaga poster and a Clockwork Orange poster. Cat got me a Roku box which will be so cool because now I get to watch my Hulu and my Netflix on my big TV! I'm so excited. Then Mono got me a bike lock for when I get my bike, he also got me Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and a Kid Cudi shirt and a Death Cab for Cutie shirt. He also got me a $5 gift card from Best Buy. I got myself some nice india ink markers and Hot Chick. I'm really happy with all my gifts. I can't wait to set up my Roku box! And to hang up my posters! It was a good Christmas.

Priorities.

Ok, so I need to get my priorities back in check. I need to make a big move on this losing weight thing. Like honestly, I feel good enough about myself to make this shit happen, so I'm going to make it happen. First thing I'm going to do, is get lipo. Haha, just kidding. Really, first thing I'm going to do is stop taking birth control. I've been thinking about it, and I've really been having problems losing since august, and that's about when I began taking my birth control. I'd truly rather have bad cramps that not be able to lose weight. I'm also really going to get consistent on my work outs. I want to fit more comfortable into my size 16 pants by the time I go back to school. So everyday I think I will start doing sit ups, and four to five times a week I'll do cardio for about an hour. Hopefully this stuff mixed with the no birth control will help me get back into my groove.

Honestly, I just want to get back into the losing weight game, I want to feel confident in myself because I know I'm losing. I am going to get this straight.

Harrumphh awkwardness.

I hate how awkward I can be sometimes. Grrr.

Finals Week

Finals Week fucking blows. All I wanna do is go out and get fucked up, but all my friends have to do homework. Ridiculous.

Nicki and Kanye and Cudi

Ok, I'm on this huge rap-kick, and I've been listening to Kanye, Nicki, and Cudi like crazy. I like it a lot.

I've also been doing really kickass at life. Like I finished my honors paper, I wrote most of my final papers, and I am just rocking this semester out. Well except for stupid-dumb honors humanities. I hate that class. But I'm going to really beast my systems final, same with my advanced comp final, and everything else basically. I'm excited. And next semester I'm going to have an awesome schedule, and I feel like I'm going to have a lot of really cool people in my classes. It's basically just going to be super.

But, I have to do this presentation for Honors Humanities, and I have no clue what I'm doing. It's crazy. I am not psyched.
