Woah. It just struck me that this will be my first post of 2012. And so far I've spent it arguing with my italic self. Maybe I should be more mature. You know, reflect on how I've grown this past year, what I've accomplished, etc. I'll tell ya what, we'll give it a try.
How I've grown/changed:
- I'm taller.
- My hairs gotten longer.
- I have two more ear piercings. Woooo. That makes three on one side and two on the other.
- You know these are really supposed to be more emotional and spiritual.
- Italics me, get out of my bullet points.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- My eyes have deteriorated even more and I'm pretty sure I'm going blind.
- I've gotten even better at procrastinating till the last minute and completing the job none the less! Yesssss.
Accomplishments:
- I built a pair of Lego shoes.
- I finally read the first Hunger Games book. Yesterday, actually. Although I probably finished the last 50 pages in 2012, so does it still count? Yes. Yes it does.
- I can finally apply eyeliner without getting it ALL OVER MY EYELIDS. However a makeup guru, this does not make me. Yoda style.
- I made new friends!
- I participated in my first high school play!! I really hope I do some more this year...
- I took the PSATs. Scored in the 99th and 98th percentiles! WHAT WHAT! Imma tell you a secret... My mom actually made me take the SATs in 8th grade and I don't want to brag but I honestly did really well. So the PSATs were UBER stressful because I was super worried I'd get a worse score than on my SATs. Buuut I didn't! *fist pump*
- I started a blog! Really, this is one of my favorite accomplishments and I am so grateful to anyone who actually reads all my rambling discourses. You guys make my days and my nights and I love you all! But especially you. Yeah, you. YOU. ARE. My very favorite. ;P
- Started a short sci-fi novella thingy that I'm actually really into. That doesn't sound like a big accomplishment, but for me, it is. I love love love writing, but I'm horrible at thinking up stories that I'm still interested in telling, 4 pages in. Maybe I actually have a chance at finishing this one! Who knows...
- And finally... I maintained a journal and filled it alll up. And then started another. (A sort of "second volume".) This may sound lame, but for me it is also a huge accomplishment. I've started many a journal, but I've never filled a whole notebook with regular entries before. This is a wonderful first!
My Goals for this glorious new year:
- Work out regularly on my NEW TREADMILL! There's something just sooo great about running in place. I LOVE it.
- Start diving in to my community service so I don't end up doing it all my junior and senior years.
- Build up my college resume... Ick.
- Start wearing my cowboy boots more often. It's time the cowboy boots thrived again, my friends.
- Keep my room cleaner.
- Force my dad to build me more bookshelves so I can be done with this ridiculous book stacking that's been going on.
- Develop better studying and homework doing habits.
- Get straight As! But that's probably not gonna happen... Chemistry is hard. :'(
- Complete my "sketch a day" project, which you can check out at... http://365daysofsketching.blogspot.com/ !!
Well there ya go. A semi-traditional New Year's post.
I hope you all have a wonderful 2012! You guys really are the best and without you, I would have nothing to keep me writing this blog and would probably then go insane. So thanks mom. And Miss Mixie. And Polethene Pam! You guys are the bomb-diggity. C:
