Day 1 of Being a Better Person

Well, the weather continues to disappoint. I, on the other hand, have upheld my resolutions for a solid 24 hours! This is longer than I have ever held a resolution before, mainly because I have never MADE one before. What? It’s not like there’s anything about myself I need to change, right? Right guys?! To celebrate I am going to Starbucks. Actually, we are going there to meet friends (but I will secretly be celebrating on the inside). Question: Is it a celebration if no one else knows about it?
In keeping with being a better person, I suppose I should actually get ready so we do not miss our bus..

Mid-Year Resolutions

My blog is a sad disappointment, much like the weather lately. With shamefully long weekends, I hardly have an excuse anymore. And so I am making a mid-year resolution to write more. The beautiful thing about mid-year resolutions is that they don’t have to be upheld for as long as New Year’s resolutions, and therefore there is less probability of failing. I am also going to be out of bed and properly dressed by noon two on every day of my four-day weekends. People are starting to give me weird looks when I pass them in the hall at five p.m., still wearing my pajamas. My mother always tells me it doesn’t matter what other people think of me, BUT I REALLY CARE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK OF ME. And so I am going to get up and get dressed, and try to behave like a Normal person.

So, after a year-long sabbatical I am finally back on tumblr. The reason? I am writing an essay and facebook is not offering enough of a distraction for me… So here I am. At least until the essay is complete =)
