Hoarding Resolutions

I have not written here in some time. And I apologize. I seem to have forgotten about my blog as work, school, finals, birthday and Christmas stuff had taken over my life.  But I do have some amazing news. The semester is over, finally. Neuroscience really wore me out. That was all that I was studying basically. I studied for that and after the exam I started studying for the other exams that I had. Thank the Lord baby jesus that I only had 3 classes this semester, because otherwise I would have been even more screwed then I already was.  I had Neuro on the 13th (my 21st birthday) which was sucky. But what can you do. After that I went home to study, and then out of the blue I get a knock on the door.  I'm thinking, f*** me Joyce, leave me alone, but when I open the door there is my dad. And looking to the right, there is my mom. And then my sister walks over from the left. What just happened? I was really not expecting them to come down, but it was nice to see them.  They decided to all get together and come down to visit me on my birthday and just to take me out to dinner (I had to throw out the chicken that I was cooking later that evening).  Good dinner, but horrible studying. I didn't really study anything else that evening, so I decided to wake up early the next morning, and study for a bit at the Uni. Which was...good...ish. I tried to study, but I felt as though I didn't really learn anything. Then I went and took my Jazz final, because at that point I was ready for the semester to be done with. After that Mak and I got together for lunch and "studying" before I took my last exam, History.  Dun dun dahh.

Overall I was pretty happy with my results, I mean with the amount of studying that I actually put into it, it wasn't too shabby. So hopefully I can finish out these last couple of semesters quickly.

In another new news, Bre got engaged to Cody, which is exciting. I think Cody was going to propose on Christmas, but got too excited on the drive to his parents house, because they got engaged on the way there on the 23rd of December. I thought she was going to plan a destination wedding and go to Mexico, but now it sounds as though she is going to plan for a Winter Wonderland wedding back at home so that more people can come. I'm happy for her. Not so much for me because this means that I will have a lot more stuff to do to help her plan, being Maid of Honor and all that jazz. Hopefully, I wont be too busy with school and everything. But she has time. Lots of it, because now she is officially finished her degree! She just has to convocate.

In some more random thoughts I seem to be haunted with, the title is Hoarding Resolutions. I named it that, because I have come to the conclusion that I could never be a hoarder.  For some reason, at times I try to 'collect' things (I use the term loosely), and then months or even years later, I get bored of it and just throw it away. Or sell it. Or spend it.  I'm not saying that I am the tidiest person that has ever walked the face of the earth, but I can't keep the mess that I make.  Now to the resolutions part of the title.

I decided that since it is almost a year since I started this blog, that I would write a post on "my resolutions".  Well, actually I don't like calling them resolutions because it is very disheartening when you don't complete them. But seeing as I still don't have anything else to call them, we will just leave it at that until I come up with a wicked awesome name.

Resolutions:

1) Finish all courses for my BA in Psychology (11 courses)

2) Finish reading at least 50 books

3) Finish writing a Novel

4) Work out at least 3 times a week

5) Save up money for a trip to Thailand

6) Volunteer somewhere and make a difference to someone.

There is a lot to do on that list, but I believe that this year will be a great year for me.  I have a song that makes me smile for some reason, because it relates to my life so much.  And it's not that I feel this way the entire time, but sometimes you can't help it.  But listening to the lyrics, I know that I want to complete something that I have started. And this year is when I do it.

Wish me luck and I'll write soon! Happy 2013 to you all!!
