I had a bunch of papers that I thought the blog world would enjoy but the scanner does not seem to be co operating tonight. But I will fix it soon...maybe, not.Haha. Someday.
Today I was thinking about how hard we think things are - we snowball things to be giant impossible projects that could never get done, let alone in 3 days. We need to focus on the bare facts not the fake outer layer of the project. Life goes on, you don't need to have everything done perfectly and flawlessly -add some colour make mistakes, fall, scrape your knee. Why not? Who's watching?

My 5 year education plan!
Ohh la la! My supper sweet parents just gave me a stack of amazing books-great for my book resolution, right? I will anounce my book list tommorrow (speaking/typing of books that new movie with miley cirus looks good, honestly I don't really have an opinion on her but...I think I would enjoy the book more then the moive, I guess I need to add that to the list).
I just came home from a high school open house (specificly.NTCI). Wow, the student population is massive! It was crazzy bussy-but I guess that just adds to the "atmosphere" right? The new school is going to be so amazing. The science teachers are so nice, but were not/recomending going to high school for five years-to get a more well rounded education. As much as I adore school once I have passed my corses hopefully in four years- I AM OUT of there! I have so many things I want to do but being in high school for an extra year really is not one of them (sorry.).
This weekend I hope to find some blogs to read...(the world is filled with 6 billion people and I am worried about not finding blogs to read,sheesh).
I think I will try to (half) prepare brekfast for tommorrow morning. I think that will make eating in the morning so much easier-I always forget!

My 20-10 Resolutions!
Opps.
Since I have barly come up with a 20-10 resolution- I have decided to turn back the clock... so as you so cleverly guessed I am making my NEW 20-10 resolutions (list). Yippie! How exciting? I am going to try to follow the rules and make a minimum of ten resolutions.
1.I am going to try and make some blogger friends. I find that a blog can be like a black hole everything goes-and honestly who knows where everything ends up- that analogy probly made no sence, sorry.
Attached to my first resolution I will be blogging much more! Keeping everyone up to date at all times. . . I hope. Well, I promise I will try my very best.
2. Exersize, I know how common and not-uniqe this resolution is but... lately I have been feeling like blah, not good. Some ways I hope to achive this resolution is
^Yoga-An awesome friend of mine (simi) use to do yoga and has bravely agreed to take yoga class with me. Yoga is something that really interests me and I have wanted to do for a while now.There are so many blogs recomending Yoga for billions of great reasons!
^Kick boxing- honestly I have really wanted to try kick boxing for years now, but NOW I am determined to try it. But, it is really hard to fing classes for my age group.
^Dance- I have always loved dance but,have been soo busy in the last couple of years that I have not tried it since... I am really interested in either Modern or Latin Dancing.
3.Friend Time, I have so many amazing friends that I usually only see at school, but that will change. This year I want to see my friends OUTSIDE of school... I have already started making plans!!!! I am so excited. I have always wanted to bring my friends on an adventure to one of my favourte parts of Toronto- Kensington Market. Aah!
4. Books, I am usually stuck in a book but lately I have not been reading!!! I know, and my friends so wonerfully provided me with some great material!
5.Healthy Exotic foods, I have this huge default I am very skeptical about trying odd healthy food. Currently I have wheat grass shots and hemp powder in the fridge-I am a little scared to try them acctualy.
6.Keep in touch, I have been very busy lately and have not been keeping in touch with friends living afar - horrible I know. But, I am determined to.
7.Garden, last year I tried to start a garden (but, I planted in mass quantities). This year I want to plant more conservetive. So, as soon as possible I will start planting my seeds.
8.Music, I want to widen the music I listen to. Probbly not into Country-I already listen to that;). Also I will not be listening to curently "in" music.
9.Volenteer, there are so many causes that need help and especialy so many people without basic nessesites in this world. I hope to help as many causes as possible.
10. Make Money, I think the time has come that I can make "mhu-lha-chay". I have some things in mind that I would love to perchase some day.
I hope you enjoy my list. And, I would love to see yours!
