new years resolutions

it makes sense people try to start the "new year" with fresh ambitious ideas of how we can better ourselves. it makes even more sense that most people come up with overly-ambitious ideas and lower their self esteem once they realize they bit off more than they can chew. i like to make resolutions that are not far fetched, but still a challenge.

weight loss is a big one. not for me this year, but my mom and i notice how people always flood the gym in january and by march its back to normal. those three months are pretty rough. on everyone.

this year i decided im going to do more volunteer work (by more i mean any at all. see? thats easy). save-a-pet has something where you can volunteer to help out. im assuming we can walk the dogs and give them baths and all that jazz. aimee and sarah have a nice bumper sticker that pretty much hits my feelings on the nose "the more people i meet the more i like my dog". i wish there was a higher client demand in the k-9 psychology field. id sign up in a second.

so if i don't do anything with save-a-pet theres also the step up foundation for women/girls. you can be a mentor to a younger girl and other things.

now that my gpa is decent, i can also sign up for "peer-counseling" @ adelphi where your basically a psychologist for other students. its has a rigorous training program but, hey, i think everyone gains out of volunteer work.

so theres that. ill start my new year with kris in the florida keys, sipping on daquaries in the sun, and all that goes with it. were both really psyched to go scuba diving- possibly near some ship wrecks (yesss). 2007 is gunna be a good one, i can tell.
