This year is turning out to be very nice so far.
There are a lot of things planned for this month, mostly a Disciple concert on January 13 (NOT 3), a trip to the movies with my best friend to see Inkheart on January 23, and maybe a trip to a basketball game if there's a local one where my high school is playing.
I also haven't written down my New Years' resolutions, but that's mostly because I've been thinking about them, debating whether or not I should do them, and I just decided why not? If I don't follow them, I don't follow them. Nothing new there. But it's nice to have them, just in case.
So...
1. Get out more.
2. Try not to feel self-conscious about my appearance. If I feel self-conscious about it, I'll end up just drawing more attention to it. This prompts people to bring it up, which in turn prompts me to feel more self-conscious about it, starting a vicious cycle. So just quit it.
3. Attempt speaking up more, gaining friends, etc.
4. Read.
5. Write at least the first draft of my new version of Yulian.
6. Start that creative writing newspaper with my English teacher.
7. Grow closer to God and read the Bible every single day.
8. Don't break these resolutions. :P
Thankfully, four seems easy. So far, it's only the third, and I've already finished three books. A few minutes ago, I just finished Saturday by Ian McEwan, and I definitely didn't expect to love it as much as I did. It was much better than I thought it would be. Probably an A book, and a review is coming tomorrow.
Good Omens is also sitting on my bed (still), waiting to be read, so I can't wait to pick that up tomorrow. I most likely won't finish it tomorrow, but Monday for sure, judging from all the positive things I've heard about the book.
