New Year's Resolution

     In the year 2011 I want to become more productive. I want to stay on top of my homework load, study more often, and do some of the less important things I enjoy.
      In the past I haven't been the best with staying organized. I start the school year out with new sharp pencils, neat stacks of paper and everything put where it belongs, but as the year progresses I become a slob. My bag is a war zone and my lack of writing utensils is disheartening. I often lose important papers and wrinkle the ones I manage to hang on to. My grades are wonderful for a month or two but then they start to slip. I let things slide and procrastinate uncontrollably. I don't want that to happen this year! I want to get back in control.
     I'm going to start writing down every assignment I get and its due date, and I wont cross it off until it's completely finished. On the nights I don't have very much homework I'm going to study so the material stays fresh in my mind.
     When I've accomplished every last bit of my homework I want to do more meaningful things. Instead of spending my free time watching TV, I want to start writing again. Not for school but for me, and I want to read more. Lately I've been in a book funk. I've read everything I have three or four times and I need a new adventure. What happened to all the books about heroic quests and battles? Now all you can find are depressing, sappy vampire books! I also miss my art. I haven't drawn almost anything this year. I'm so swamped with homework and then zoning out after doing the homework that I have no time for the things I enjoy. This year will be different though. I'll stay organized and wont let things pass me by. This year I'm gonna do the things that make me feel good!
