With a new year comes new....responsibility

Alas, 2012 has arrived! (OK, so I'm 18 days late, but better late than never)
And a new year means resolutions, right? Or at least that's what we like to tell ourselves as we wash off smudged makeup and a nasty hangover the morning after a little too much partying on New Years Eve. So in honor of a new year I've decided to compile a list of my resolutions. Maybe having a written list of my goals will make me want to actually fulfill them! (Doubtful, but worth a try)

1) My gums. I need to take care of them. Desperately. This resolution is not an option. I need to floss. I need to brush until I bleed. (the periodontist said that bleeding is good) I need to keep every single ounce of bacteria out. I need to take care of them and help them heal properly so I don't need another 5,000 dollar surgery.
2) Go to yoga. I'm probably (most definitely) the least flexible female on the planet. I was the girl that got negative scores on the sit-and-reach tests in gym class throughout grade school. I am also the girl that can't touch her toes, let alone her knees. I'm also an utter weakling and need to work on my  hand-eye coordination. Last semester I signed up at studio a few blocks from me and I only went three times. That's pathetic. 2012 goal: once a week.
3) Learn to drive. I need to get on that. ASAP. Not an option.
4) Go to bed early. That means no mindless web surfing and facebook stalking at 2:00 AM when I should be snoring. No more going to class on five hours of sleep. And no more afternoon naps that screw up my sleep cycle.
5) Start writing again! (including blogging) Last semester I wrote nothing. Not only was I a lazy bum, it made me incredibly sad. This semester should be a little easier because I am in a creative writing class. Yes, you heard it, my first creative writing class since my junior year of high school! I am ecstatic. I absolutely cannot wait! (Cue the giant smile)
6) Along with the writing, I need to start reading again. What happened to the bookworm in me? I need to pick up a pleasure book next semester, no matter how busy I am.

Ok, I think I need to stop there. I'm getting a little too ambitious.
