HAPPY 2010!!
I'm so excited for the new year, mostly because I'm ready to start on my resolutions, which are as follows:
1. Keep up the vegetarian lifestyle, and maybe try to convert to veganism? If you read one of my earlier posts, Meet Your Meat, you'll know why I'm a vegetarian. Meat just grosses me out now. Whenever I see a steak, all I see is dead cow, not a delicious meal. Thanks for scarring me, PETA. But I do so love you for it.
2. Exercise more!! I know this is everyone's resolution, but I don't care. I want to do get back into yoga and start doing pilates. I'll go on the eliptical only because I have to. And because we have TVs on our cardio machines at the Strom. I find it pretty motivating watching all those skinny people on The Hills.
3. Watch a documentary each week. I think it will make me a better-informed person about the world around me. And, even though I am very far left, I will watch films such at The Obama Deception. (Ten dollars says I will want to rip my hair out as I watch it, and I will probably yell obscenities at the screen, but I will be a better person for it.) Maybe I could even watch a documentary WHILE on the eliptical! Multitasking? Yes.
4. Maintain a 4.0. I'm not worried about this at all. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty smart, and I know how to study.
5. Find a way to wear graphic Ts WITHOUT wearing jeans. I have all of these really cute t-shirts that look okay with jeans, but I want to be a little more stylish than that. I mean, really. And speaking of clothes...
6. Organize my closet. It's not a mess. It's just not organized. I have way too much clothing. I CAN'T have a messy closet.
7. Sign up for Study Abroad. I'm planning on going to London during the spring of my sophomore year. I would prefer to go during the fall, but alas, rush is going on in the fall, and I cannot bear missing rush.
8. Learn basic French. I don't quite know how I'm going to do this without spending money. Maybe just watch some French TV shows for kids on YouTube?? I want to learn naturally, not with a book.
9. Improve my overall appearance. Just whitening my teeth, taking better care of my skin and hair, wearing sunscreen (I burn after just an hour in the sun--no lie) that kind of thing. (BTW, I don't think I'm ugly. I just want to be a little more diligent about my appearance.)
10. Explore classic films. It's important to learn about the pioneers of cinema--the people who CREATED comedy, glamour, the high life...all of that. I'm starting tonight by watching "How To Marry a Millionare," starring Marilyn Monroe, and tomorrow "Breakfast at Tiffany's." (Really, I should be imprisoned until I watch that film. It is an absolute travesty that a person who adores vintage glamour has never seen the movie that IS vintage glamour.)
11. Explore classic rock. It makes me sad that so few bands nowadays play music that will become classic. Of course I know who the best are--Aerosmith, Guns N Roses, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin--but I really need to increase the depth of my knowledge!! How can you love music without understanding where it came from?? Plus, no one does it like these guys did--NO ONE.
What are your new year's resolutions, my loves??
Keep it classy and fabulous!
xoxo, Laura
P.S. 12. Get a subscription to Netflix. Watching a classic film and a documentary each week is a lot of films.
