hello first day second decade third millenium

resolutions:

• become close to God again. go to church and read my Bible more often.
• make more of an effort to compromise and get along with my family.
• put effort into school. things won't always come as easily as they did freshman year. actually study and take classes more seriously. don't procrastinate.
• be comfortable with my body/weight. eat more healthily and regularly.
• be more tolerant of other people. no one is perfect.
• do more charity work. serve the community more and do something productive instead of wasting my time on the computer, watching tv, etc.
• sleep more. (ironic. as i write this, it is 4:35 am.)
• practice piano / violin / alto sax / guitar. take advantage of lessons and music theory and perfect pitch instead of taking them for granted.
• improve in leadership & public speaking.
• hold my tongue. don't say anything at all if it can be taken as an insult.
• take at least one picture everyday! (at the end of the year, i am going to compile an album of 365 pictures. this is an effort to document my youth & see the beauty in everyday things.)
• read at least one good book every month.

that's it for now, i probably forgot something though so i'll just add on to this list later.
