OK for next years resolutions

I know everyone makes New Years resolutions and no one keeps them. Maybe it's because they always want to start new things or something that they won't enjoy so much. Well for my New Years resolutions I will not be doing any of that, I will be continuing some things and getting more of others and hopefully by next year I will be able to say that I kept all of my resolutions!

1) I want to have read Les Miserable by December 31 of next year.
2) I want to eat more green (not the gummy sweet variety)
3) I will retake Math Modeling and maintain my semester average of 3.0
4) I will blog more!!
5) Always stay true to myself

There, that wasn't so bad.
And as a constant reminder to myself of my promises I have bought a promise ring! I hope that this will be the start of a great tradition for myself!

On a side note: the year passed so quickly!!! It feels like just yesterday my mom, sister and I explored Marietta Cemetery on Christmas day, I can't believe a year has passed!!

That's the thing about an English Major

Finals are upon us, 2009 is drawing to a close and I had a moment today where I realized that it will still be another two years before I graduate. I realized that after christmas I will have to make all of the leftover x-mas stock somehow fit onto two small risers. Then I will have to deal with people complaining about the price and wondering why it isn't 90% off here when it is down the street.
Then after that lovely revelation, I had another. I'm not sure what I want to do when I graduate. I know I have two years to figure it out, and it's not like I haven't a clue what I would be interested in, I do. But it is so hard to narrow the list. I want to work for the Navy, or work in publishing, or work for the Library of Congress, and at this point I would rather be a realtor that stay at CVS.
The other downside to all of these finals is my lack of reading time. All of the studying also seems to be destroying my reading mojo. I've only been able to get into a couple of small romances, none of the sci-fi epics that are stacked on my bookshelf. Hopefully, once finals are over, my reading mojo will magically reappear and the next time I disapear for months will be because I have been reading the dusty "new" books on my shelves.
