*** To a new year ***

So to go along with my resolutions I blogged about earlier, I have created a Day Zero list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. They're pretty simple things, even so I am rather excited to start the list!! The fun thing is that some of the things on the list coordinate with my resolutions!!

Here's the link to the list...

For those who can't remember, here are the resolutions expanded upon a bit.

1) Get back in shape, get to my goal weight and maintain it - I will buy a swimsuit and a gym/pool pass with my first pay cheque, and I will start going to lane swim and aquasize again.... And even hit up the gym on a regular basis. I know this is kind of cliche-ish, but I know I can do it, I have done it before, I actually enjoy working out! Andrea and I have promised eachother we will eat healither... and no eating fast food (Buster's Pizza included... man those guys are gonna miss us...)
2) Get a higher GPA - I will study more, and harder, I will have study notes from the beginning and not wait until the last week before exams to make them. I will work harder on assignments and study notes. I need to get a nerdy GPA in order to stand out from the rest of the thousands of BED students. I hope to transfer to the U of A in the fall, and for that I would like a higher GPA, which would be easier to secure me a spot there.

3)... oh shit, I've already forgotten... ohwait! Number three is to blog or write more often - I will look into freelancing for some local papers or Albertan magazines. Just to keep my writing up to par. If worst comes to worst I will just have to maintain this blog... I just need to write, it's one of my passions and I need to keep it up. This one might not happen until the summer, because I plan to be busy with work and school this semester, but it is something that is important to me, and something I really want to concentrate on!!

4) take a fun photography course - like my reading my photography and cameras have been neglected since quitting the paper. I need to get back into it, to revive my passion and add some excitement into my life!! I hope to be able to do that by taking some sort of photography course and just going on fun photo excursions! I have already started working on this, and I am loving it!!! I also want to buy a small digital camera so that I can take it places with me (easier than my DSLRs!).

So there they are, I know many of you don't think I am going to follow this, or think I am setting myself up for failure. In my eyes, I am setting goals, and I  reach goals I set - so watch and see...
