happy new year!

i love the beginning of a new year.

i've always loved setting goals. not that i was ever great at accomplishing them, but i love the process of sitting down, realizing what you need to do differently, writing it down and working towards things every day. whenever i make goals, though, i tend to get overzealous and try to make too many changes at once, which doesn't work out so well. this year i'm trying to keep it pretty basic. and when i get back to school i plan on writing all my goals down on sticky notes and putting them all over my room where i'll have to look at them all day, every day. i am committed to making this semester even better than the last one.

here are my new year's resolutions for 2011:

study more in the library.

go to bed earlier.

read my scriptures EVERY DAY.

work out monday/wednesday/friday mornings at 6 am with smeag and kendra. [we did this somewhat this past semester but we got pretty lazy towards the end....]

eat healthier.

i'm determined. i'm sticking to these goals.

and you know what?

"nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude."

here's to 2011. i've got a feeling it's gonna be good.
