Let the Smoothie Resolutions Begin!

I know it’s late for New Year’s Resolutions, but some major changes are in order, so I’m making my Smoothie Resolutions instead.

1. Become closer to HIM. Always seek HIM. 'nuff said.

2. Don’t make things more complicated than they really are. Make things simple. Do what is necessary first and enjoy it, so that if the “fun” doesn’t come, it won’t be missed.

3. Do not depend on friends and/or family to help you work out your own problems. Do not hope that someone depends on you to get something done as a means of motivation. Rely on your OWN well being as a motivation to succeed at what you do. (This has been a major problem for you, fix it!)

4. Do homework, do it well, and do it on time. Master your time management skills. (This is also a major problem.)

5. Stay fit. Run, lift weights in a balanced work out (all muscles equally, not just the major ones), do Yoga/Pilates. Bike and swim often and for long periods of time. Enjoy the outdoors this summer and every summer as much as possible. Train for RAGBRAI one day… or the ride that crosses Minnesota.

6. Eat healthy. Have at least 1 fruit and 1 vegetable at every meal. Have a smoothie! Have three reasonable sized meals a day. Avoid eating out, especially fast food, and especially fast food when you’re by yourself.

7. Find a job. Make money. Save a lot of that money. (Eat parents food, when you’re home.) Line up another job for the coming winter while I’m away at college again. Make more money. Save more money.

That’s the perfect number of resolutions for now.

Test 2: Arch 222

I actually studied, before the night before the test. I'm so happy for how well I think I might have done, that I promise right now (as long as I don't forget) that next Friday, when we get our tests back, I will stand up in class and Yell "Whooo hooo!" if I get a B or better, because that would be the best I have ever done on a test in that class. Arch 222 is exactly the same as Arch 221 (which I took last semester), just the continuation of it. So yes, on all the tests we had last semester and the one we had so far this semester I have yet to get better than a C. They are really hard for me and I have a hard time even finishing them. Even this time, when I was confident for a good majority of the material on the test, I still had trouble getting it all down on paper by the time the class was over. :P You'd think that the professor would get the hint from the low averages of the class, and make the tests a little easier, but the few who do well and excel at his game, have apparently convinced him to continue to do it the way I'm sure he has done for so long.
*Excitement*
I've seen this: "XD" recently and I'm not sure what to make of it but I'm going to assume that it's a big happy, squinting, animae face because that's what I think it looks like, in which case...
XD, because I'm very happy right now.

Awesome Song On Itunes Radio!

Mark Brown f/Sarah Cracknell- The Journey Continues (Vocal Radio Edit)

Two friends, one scott.

Two of my room mates are relatively new friends of mine. They are so simular and yet so different. Both are quiet, caring and giving friends but, one of them likes things to be out in the open and on the table and is a very strongly opinionated person, while the other holds true in all aspects of being a quiet person, sometimes slipping things under the table, and avoids conflict. It's kind of hard to be both of their friends when they both dislike each other so much, but I like them both, they are both good people...

**shakes head** what to do, what to do?
