I've decided that, after watching Bad Girls Club, I have an opportunity to make new goals for me to attempt to reach. Over the next few weeks, I will be striving to meet these goals, and I ask for the support and help for all of my friends. Call me out if I do something that goes against my goals. Give me your honest opinion on things like these, because I can't learn if I have no justification for going against what I already do. So please, your support will help. Here's a list of my goals, and what I plan on doing to achieve them. If you find any flaws in my plan, let me know, and if my plan doesn't work, then I'll take yours into consideration.
** First and foremost, I want to LOSE WEIGHT. Not to be uber skinny, but to be healthier. I really want to try out for tennis next year, and in order to do that, I need to be in better shape. Ali, I'm really going to need to you kick me in the a** for this one. ;D I'm at a current weight of around 158 lbs, and I really want to get down to 140, if not appear to be in more shape. I understand that muscle mass weighs more than body fat, so I may maintain, even gain, weight. I just want to appear slimmer and healthier. If anyone can help me on picking out a good diet or good food choices to buy, let me know, and I'll talk to my mother about getting foods for my health. I want to lose one pound by the end of the week with a work-out schedule (I already have one) and a healthy, vegetarian diet.
** I want to stop being so damned afraid of talking to new people. I can't walk into a room and approach someone I don't know, specifically because I'm so shy. It's terrible! I want to be able to let people know about my personality. I know I have an awesome one; I just need to let it shine. I want to at least get in three conversations with people, one on one, and look them in the eye. It doesn't matter if I know them or not. It will help either way.
** I want to read more. I know it sounds like a silly task, but I really do want to read a whole lot more than I do. I used to read a lot, and that's when I was happiest. And why? Because I was feeding my brain. Being well-read is awesome, and it really improves my writing skills. By the end of the week (Saturday) I want to finish To Kill a Mockingbird.
** I don't want to be afraid of making mistakes. So what if I trip and fall? It's not my fault that I'm human and I do these things. I know this, but I want to FEEL it. If I stumble on my words, then I feel stupid about it for weeks later. I screwed up in choir a few days ago, and I still feel like an idiot for doing so. I want to stop that. If I make a mistake, I will laugh it off and joke with myself about it. I will not brood over mistakes.
** I want to stop swearing. Now, swearing jokingly and swearing seriously are two different things. Things that I am allowed to say are "FOCK" "FACK" "SHEET" "SHAT" "BEEYOTCH" and "BEEYATCH". Those are the only exceptions. Pinch me every time you hear me say something different. I will not swear (with the few exceptions above) for a week.
** I want to be a better student. I'm failing one of my classes by around four points, and I don't like that one bit. I'm about to be failing another one, rather unfortunately, and I need to bring those grades up before school is over. I'm nearing the end of the six weeks and the end of the school year, and I really want to move on to my junior year. My goal is to not miss one more assignment after tomorrow. I will turn in all homework and classwork on time.
** I want to become more organized. I've been meaning to do this for a while, but it hasn't worked out. I have spouts of dedication, but I refuse to actually follow through with it for some reason. So for the next two weeks, I will write down every assignment, all my chores (which no one will have to tell me to do, because I WILL have the motivation to do it myself), and how many hours I am to spend on homework, household chores, and the computer/TV.
** I want to get more sleep. I have a bad case of insomnia, simply because I get excited about the next day. What can I say? I love life. I want to be happy when I go to sleep, because it makes me happy when I wake up. I'm excited to know what will happen the next day. But I don't want this to keep me from sleeping. So what I'm going to do is start going to bed at around nine o' clock PM (with the exception of tonight, because it's still later than that, and I want to watch Family Guy [both episodes] and take a shower). During the weekends, I have a curfew for midnight, and during summer, I have no curfew, but at the last week of summer vacation, I start going to bed at nine again.
I will be writing daily in this blog to keep track of my progress on each of my goals, and to update my goals in case I find new ones. Thanks for reading, and I really look forward to getting my life back together before it falls apart completely. I'm nearly an adult, and I'm still acting like a child. Shame, isn't it?
