   Drop Those Balls, Baby.

Happy New Years! * kisses everyone * Wow. It's officially 2005. And with the new year, comes new resolutions. Some people want to lose weight, some want to quit smoking, others want to better in school, etc. But here are my own, personal resolutions: Get all A's this semester I have a very easy schedule this semester, and I know I am intellectually capable of achieving this. Those grades in English and Algebra still sting a bit, and I want to even out my GPA. I enjoy learning, and even though school is stressful, I want to do well. I expect myself to do well. Improve my art skills I consider myself a good artist, but I feel as if I am falling into a rut, like I will never improve beyond this point of somewhat mediocrity. I want to be able use a variety of mediums and surfaces, and do more detail and use many styles in my artwork. After all, I'm planning on going into art as a career, and it is what I love the most. So, it deserves a lot more attention than it's been getting. Read more I have recently rediscovered my love of reading. After speeding through Go Ask Alice (which is a fantastic book, by the way. everyone should go read it), I feel reading is another wonderful thing that I have been neglecting. Reading truly expands the mind and perception, it builds vocabulary and the ability to grasp concepts, and will give you new insights to either the human condition, scientific fact, or the state of the world (polictically, enviromentally, etc.) Reading is truly a joy. and finally... Take a deeper look into my future I know that you risk wasting life if you spend all of it planning, but that doesn't mean you should go through life unprepared. I want to seriously consider colleges, which will determine the type of honors classes I take junior and senior year, and where I will live after I am 18. I'm going to need scholarships and whatnot, as well. If you just sit around and wait for these type of things to fall into place for you, you'll end up standing there at the end of your senior year going "uh..." And that's it. What about everyone else? .:2004 never seemed:. Shinmaru: They didn't like it because they're afraid of change. Cowards! Nick: Well I don't know where it is! Maybe the post office ate it. hEvN: Ooh, you have a Morning Glory too?? Ken: You too dearest. .:Quite right anyway:.
