Hey ya'll!  Ok so I've made a few decisions... and I guess you might could even call them resolutions, but I don't want them to be for just this year, so really, they're changes.  Well, so OK we can call them resolutions.  Anyway.. here's the deal: 

1)  I've not been very committed to swimming here lately, like I should be... I dunno, I just don't like it as much as I used to.  Well--OK, I LOVE swimming, but I'm talkin about the competitve side to it; it just doesn't really seem to appeal too much to me any more.  However, I still need a good exercise regime to keep healthy, and to keep in shape.  So, I need to join a gym--here's the part I need help with though... I was wondering, if any of you would like to come with me?  Join a gym with me?  Lol.. cuz I can't really do it on my own.  And too, I'm kinda lookin' for some type of "trainer" who could help me out, and show me how to use all the different machines lol.  I don't want to just used the machines though lol.. I wanna work in swimming and still swim as part of my workout... So I'm thinking like working out 3-4 times a week (depending on how much time I have) and maybe having a whole day out of those days devoted to swimming, and then the other two or three days to do cardio or machine work, or what have you lol.. I just know I need to do something, and I'd love to have a buddy or two with me!  Lol.. so if you're looking to get into better shape, or for a work out buddy, or interested in helping me out at all lol... please.. LET ME KNOW! Haha, because I've got do something to stay healthy and in shape, and improve my health and everything lol... Well--I guess that's just about all on this subject...

2)  I must study harder.  (This will effect when I can and can't go to the gym of course...the nights I'm bogged with homework, I probably won't be able to go, but I'll just have to double up the next week, or something like that.. either way, I'm gunna make time to exercise!)  I have got to bring my grades up.  Ok... so they're not bad they're just not great, or as good as I would like them to be.  Especially my APUSH!  So I have come to the conclusion, that I am going to start bringing my APUSH book home every night, and reading a little in each chapter every night, in hopes that that will help me comprehend things better, and in turn to better on the quizzes we take in there every Monday, and I won't have to wait til the last minute (Sunday night at 10 pm) to read the chapter, and then fail the test, but I'll actually hopefully pass them!!!  My grades must improve!!

3)  I've got to make more money.  Now, I know that doesn't really sound like a good resolution, but it is!  Trust me.. lol, I've got to work more often in order to pay for my car insurance, so I don't get my car taken away... I've got to make more money so I can help Daddy pay for my cell phone bill, so I can actually have a cell phone that is CUT ON (lol)... I've got to make more money to save up for college... I've got to make more money to have, just for myself... because I always feel so baaad asking my parents for money and borrowing it from them.  So bottom line, I either have to get another job, or work more hours at the job I've got now... which is a little hard, since I can pretty much only get hours at night, and I could work after school one or two days out of the week I guess, but then that would defeat my whole purpose of trying to make more time to study... but oh well.. I guess a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do... right?  But... I'm thinking I really need to find a new job... one where I can like work all day Saturday or something... not just 3-4 hours a week.  So if anyone knows of a good place that's hiring... lemme know?  Hehe

Well... I'm sure I've got other resolutions and I do... but these are the basic ones.. the most important ones at the moment.  Alrighty guys.. lol I'm lookin' for some responses here--some help, I'd greatly appreciate it!!  lol.. HAPPY NEW YEAR!  :-D
