This past week has been quite hectic, to say the least. I’ve been occupied by tennis and schoolwork, which have taken up most of my nights for the past week. Alas, I have no poetry for you, nor a deep post concerning philosophical or political matters; what I have for you is an update on my life, I have a list of things which I find important and I have a list of actions which I plan on beginning to do. My plan is very similar to that of a person who tries to stick to “New Year’s Resolutions,” which I tried to do back in January and fell short by a enormous margin, so these are plans which I think will help to improve my life with a persistent effort from me. In other words, I have no idea what I’m writing about and I’m going to make up, type it, and try to stick with it.
First, I’m cutting out all sodas and carbonated beverages except under special circumstances. There are much better alternatives such as juices, milk, and the always popular WATER.
I want to start reading novels again. Not history novels or french novels or textbooks, which seem to be the only thing I’ve been reading lately, but an actual novel. With a plot and dynamic characters and gut-wrenching suspense that makes me want to go out and buy the sequel. I used to read all the time but have since then gotten out of the habit. I also support the idea of intellectual property rights and think authors who are good at what they do deserve the recognition for their work, and I plan to recognize these people for the wonderful storytellers that they are. A Kindle and a more liberal electronics policy at my school would make this task less daunting, but these things are out of my control, so I shall have to acquire and read my books the old-fashioned way.
Shave. It seems simple, but I really hate doing it. My facial hair grows extremely fast too, so I have to do it often if I want to stay clean, so most of the time I just don’t even bother shaving because I know that it’ll grow back in just a few days’ time. This one might not even be worth it, but I’m going to try it anyway.
…Well that’s it. I thought I’d be able to think of more things to make this list more listlike, but no such luck. Ok bye.
