My (serious and not-so-serious) school year resolutions.

~ I will not be intimidated by the course work, especially since I know what the fuck I'm doing for once in my life.

~ I will not try to explain the "Uncle Fucker" song from South Park to people who do not speak English as well as I do.

~ I will break myself of the habit of buying cookies from the snack bar and not eating them.

~ I will go running every day except for Tuesday and Thursday.

~ I will not drop below a 90 in any of my classes.

~ I am not here to make friends. I am here to study.

~ I will hang onto the friends I made over the summer- whether they like it or not.

~ I will call Jonelle.

~ I will straighten out all my tax/financial aid paperwork.

~ I will keep my room clean, and put away my laundry as it gets done.

~ I will not put my belt on at the bus stop anymore because I don't have time to do it at home. People will think I am Weird.

~ I will not find Sara/Grissom parallels in every song I listen to (but "ITSK" is TOTALLY geeklovish)

~ I will get eight hours of sleep a night, even if it means missing Dogma.

~ I will not angst. I have no reason to.

~ I will not get fed up when people inquire as to my marital status when they see the ring on my left ring finger. Although it is not my fault that it's the only finger the damn thing fits on, I really can't expect any other response.

~ I will not stand in front of the candy bins in Wegmans, eating pumpkin mellocremes that I'm not going to pay for, at ten o'clock at night when I have class at eight the next morning.

~ I will not use a grapefruit juice bottle to illustrate how the earth tilts on its axis, thus causing the sun not to set over the north pole all summer long. I especially will not do this with kids who don't speak English very well. The only reply I will get is a bewildered, "Oh, shit."

~ I will not fantasize about Kitsune-san and all the things I'd like to do to her in math class.

~ Well, actually, I will, since I'm ahead in math class and have time to daydream.

~ I will decide, once and for all, who or what to be for Halloween.

~ I will no longer be ashamed to blast Britney Spears if the mood strikes me. (Rarely. But it does.)

~ I will read the paper more often.

~ I WILl get oversplits. God. Damn. It.

~ My pirouettes over my left shoulder will improve. I will practice pirouettes over my left shoulder until I throw up if I have to.

~ Er, ditto that, but for developpes.

~ I will be understanding of my sister's Greg infatuation and rampant Mary-Sueage. It's a stage. I went through it, and she'll come out of it.

~ I will talk on the phone more, in an effort to engage in more contact with human beings.

~ Actually, no, I won't.
