Volume One

Creating titles for these posts is kind of hard, especially when I want to talk about a bunch of nothing–there’s never an all encompassing phrase. 

I’ve got to clean my room.  Usually the chaos in my bedroom represents the chaos in my head, but I’m just being lazy.  I’m trying to break myself of that in 2010.  My work ethic frustrates me; I work extremely hard when I want to, but that doesn’t happen often.   In my mind, the simplest tasks can seem like a chore and repeatedly put things off.  This has to stop–I’d say this is more of a problem than my lack of financial discipline. 

I took an incomplete in my favorite class this semester.  New classes start next week, so I guess I need to start finish this paper.  I think I’ll spend today finishing the reading.  At least I have all that together.  I just need to find a case study that proves race based discrimination in educational grouping.  The intellectual in me loves this stuff.  The girl who loves to shop just wants a nice paying desk job that asks me to think 2/5 days of the week so I can live the life I always planned. 

I’ll blog again later today, I think.  I just needed to get something out since I said I would.

Welcome, 2010!

The new year is upon us, and I’m surprised I’m still awake.  I seriously didn’t think I was going to make it past 8:30. 

I am a sporadic blogger at best, but I, like many others, will be attempting to remedy that in the coming days/weeks.  It takes 21 days to create a habit, so that’s the goal.  If I blog everyday until January 22nd, I might just believe that it will become a regular thing.   If you’re active on Twitter and other social networks you will probably see that most people are in great anticipation of 2010.  I’m not sure if its just because I have so many things to look forward to this year, or because everyone was just so ready to get rid of 2009.  Either way, I am excited!

The first thing on my list is to create a vision board, it seems to be vital to the success of so many.  Until this year, I never understood the effects that words and images have on one’s psyche.   Oh, before I forget…I stayed home on NYE and it was quite awkward, but I’m not sure why.   Sometimes I feel so out of place, I’m 20 years old–but I don’t really live ‘that’ life.  I don’t like to party–no, seriously, its one of the last things on my to do list.  I’m not sure why, it just doesn’t appeal to me.  Sometimes I wonder am I missing out, but I honestly think that I’m just going to explore some of my interests instead of forcing myself to do things just because people my age do them. 

There are so many things I want to accomplish in 2010.  Some personal, some professional; all beneficial.  I need to narrow my line of sight and sort so many things out.  I think for now I’m just going to list my goals–they will probably turn into posts later.

Personal:

1. Become Less Irritable

2. See the Beauty in AT LEAST one thing EVERY day and cherish it.

3. Allow God to Decipher (for me) my relationship–its far more serious than either of us have expected, and I know I’m not ready.

4. Speak Less|Listen More|Write Often

5. Choose Happiness!

6. Learn to Play the Piano

Professional:

1. Reach Target GPA by Fall 2010 Semester (GRADUATION!)

2. Research and Make Contacts in Field of PR

3. Get Hired by a Government Agency

4. Use my bilingual skill DAILY (and get paid to do it!)

5. Find and Apply to Masters’ Programs

6. Establish a Brand

There are more, but some things are between me and Him.

Oh yeah…I’m starting a Bible in a Year series w/ a Facebook group–I’m excited!
