Hello New Year!

It's time to blog about my new year resolutions!
Betcha didn't see that coming, now did you? A post about my resolutions on the second day of the brand new year that is 2011...I'm really original. As are, I'm sure, all of my resolutions...(mmm sarcasm).

  • Read More~Like I mentioned in my Winter Break resolutions, I never read. Not even books I'm assigned. Hey, if you've got Sparknotes, what's the point of actually reading the book!? Well, I'm done with that. I read The Kite Runner over break and it was fantastic. I literally spent 4 hours reading one day, which hasn't happened since I read the mother of all novels, Harry Potter. And never during any of those 4 hours was I bored. The book is phenomenal. I suggest you read it. So, I will find pleasure in reading novels regularly this year.
  • Get Healthy~This includes working out at least once a week (I got a gift card to the gym for chrismtas! Yay for free working out!), and eating healthier. I'd like to lose a little weight, overall I'm happy with my body, but I just want to look and feel healthy.
  • Write~I'm planning on going into Telecommunications in college, and the college I'm looking at combines a Tcom major with a journalism major to make something called a "Tcom with a focus on News" major. When I visited this college and the professor I talked to mentioned the News Track major, I practically squealed because I was deciding between Journalism and Tcom. I feel like this major was made for me, and frankly, I'm freaking out. So, in order to prepare for my Tcom endeavors, I would like to exercise my creative writing skills. Hopefully keeping up this blog will be a good thing to help me achieve this
  • Balance~as in balancing my many extra cirrics, work, and school. This year, I know that I will be involved in competition show choir, theatre, church choir, youth group, work, and school. And let me tell you, it's not exactly easy to find a balance. I'm going to work on trying to keep a healthy balance between all of these things.
So, there are my resolutions for this glorious year of 2011. Let's hope it's a good one!

On another note, I just have to share my latest obsession. Yes, I know that I have a lot of "obsessions". This blog is filled with them. But considering I have only one guaranteed reader (My lovely big cousin Amanda), I figure I can put random crap I like on here and not be completely judged. Yay for blogs!
So, here it is. We all know I love Disney. Who doesn't? So, when Disney's newest movie Tangled came out, I had to see it. My equally as Disney obsessed friend and I went to see the movie and fell in love with it. The music. The plot. The magic. The flowing blonde hair. It was Disney at its finest. Definitely in my top 5 favorite Disney movies of all time, if you can believe that. My friend agreed. He's a huge Fox and the Hound fan, and by fan, I mean he's obsessed with the movie. And he said Tangled was a close second to it. That's about the highest compliment you can get coming from him...so, not surprisingly, we went again the next week and brought two friends. Then the next day, I went and saw it with my family. Again. You heard right folks, that's a grand total of 3, count 'em, 3 times. And with every time I saw this movie, I fell in love with it more. Needless to say, I'll be the first in line when it comes out on DVD.

I've rambled way too much. If you actually made it this far, I congratulate you/am really sorry you read this nonsense.
