2006's new year resolutions

1. have better posture. i've noticed how big of a strain slouching puts not only on my back (especially when i sit down) but also on my lungs. i think my slumped shoulders somehow squishes my lungs so it's harder to breathe. this, cannot be good. SO i'm gonna try to battle this bad habit by exercising, working out my back muscles, and constantly reminding myself, using my mother's tone-of-voice, to STAND UP STRAIGHT!

2. stop watching trash t.v. i was trying to write it in a more positive-manner but couldnt figure out a straight-forward way to do it. anyways, i've noticed that much of this past semester was spent watching trash tv. ex: "101 hollywood breakups". *shakes head*

3. figure out what i like to do. i've noticed that everytime someone asks me to tell them about myself or express what i like to do, i never give a complete answer. i guess i'm trying to find a hobby. some things i want to try: tennis, photography, painting, books about history, music, some type of craft

4. memorize 1 bible verse per month. i've tried to memorize bible verses SO many times but my memory tends to be dysfunctional at times. so this year i'm gonna give myself a more realistic goal. hopefully i can recite a grand total of 12 bible verses at the end of 2006. i also figure that focusing on 1 bible verse a month could be good and interesting.

5. write one in-depth, hand-written encouraging letter each month to someone who has encouraged me or needs encouragement.
