More stupid new years resolutions?!

Yea, I know.
But I want to actually try this year.
I know I say this every year, if only to myself but I think that I have enough motivation to actually get things going and stick to it this year.

Cant wait to look back on this next new years and realize I've done none of what I wanted to do.
Alright, without further ado...

1) Draw every single day.
I know, considering what I'm taking in school and what I want to do for a career, this seems like a really stupid resolution. I don't draw as much as I'd like to, or should for that matter. I really need to step it up if I ever want to improve. So this is my first resolution.

2) Become better at time management.
I need to learn how to manage my time WAY better. This past semester taught me how important it is that I learn this skill. I need to keep school, homework, work, and a social life in order. I have to keep up with my assignments so I'm not stuck at school till midnight 3 nights a week to finish!

3) Only use the elevator at school once per day.
It would be SO easy to lose weight being in the animation program, since we're on the 4th floor. All you have to do is not be lazy and actually take the stairs every/most of the time.
I lost 10 pounds in the first month and a half, here's hoping 20 more hit the road before summer.

4) Lose 20 pounds by summer, kind of goes hand in hand with number 3.
I know its possible after losing 10 already. I can do it! Not that hard! No more Wendy's for heavens sake!

5) Get my tattoo finished.
I'm hoping to work enough this summer to be able to afford a few more sessions on my arm and finish it up before the years end. Cant wait to see some colour!

6) Read a lot over the summer.
I have a stack of at least 6 or 7 novels that I have yet to read from last year.
I need to get that done this summer.

7) Do something every day that makes me leave the house.
There's nothing worse than having the laziest day in the world because theres nothing to do so I end up staying home and feeling gross. This is especially for the summer, I want to go out every day, even if its just to ride my bike through the ravine. I don't have time to waste so much of it.


That's all I can think of for now. It's a lot to do, but I think I can do it.
Lets start with number one. I'm gonna go draw for a bit.
School starts in 1 more week. Hopefully I'll be able to upload some of my stuff from first semester before then.

Later days

It's My Birthday!

Wouldn't you know it?
Another year has come and gone.
For my birthday so far I've received money. It's exactly what I wanted, and I didn't have to tell anyone. I'm very curious how everyone knew? Even my parents got me money.

I'm on my way to another session for my tattoo! I'm super excited about it!
Maybe just after the new year I'll have enough to book an appointment. I'm really itching for some colour.

In other news, Misfits is an awesome show!
I have a baking date with Steph coming up soon.
Christmas music has officially started on the radio.
I have done no homework all weekend, which really sucks.
Walking dead last night was amazing.

I have to work today, then go straight to school to finish an assignment. Fabulous way to spend my birthday, don't you think?

Alright well that's it for now.

Later days.

Not in the mood

I'm really not in the mood to blog at all right now.

Having said that, watch me write a novel.

Monday weigh in...down 2.5lbs.

Having looked through my list of notes, its basically just normal for me to be fluctuating 1 or 2 lbs here and there.

I'm not seeing any solid results as of yet. I kind of stopped trying, like I always do with diets.

I just thought with the amount of hockey I played these past 2 weekends, something would have changed.

Anyways, I'll try to keep up with this whole weight loss business. I'm sick and tired of being chunky.

So I finally slept in today, after waking up at 7am the past 2 days to play 2 or 3 games of hockey each day. I woke up at around 9:30, just as a preliminary wake up, then went back to sleep.

From about 1o to 11 I was basically too tired/lazy to get up so I tried to sleep as best I could but at that point I couldn't fully fall asleep again. You know what I'm talking about right?

Then eventually at 11 when I got up I felt like crap. Of course. I knew it was going to happen.

Anyways, I have my coffee, Ive done my facebooking, after this I'll probably head downstairs for some yogurt and rice cakes(breakfast of champions) and watch an episode of Nurse Jackie.

Then I'll drag my butt over to work...again...for a shift that will last far too long, mainly because of who I'm working with.

BUT THEN! I have all of Tuesday off! And on Tuesday night I start my co-ed hockey league, and I'm SO excited for that.

AND THEN! I have all of Wednesday off! Hurrah! I hope the weather is nice Tuesday and Wednesday, maybe I'll actually go biking this time, or roller blading.

As for my injuries, my ankle isn't swollen anymore, but it still does hurt on the bone like a bruise. My bruise is starting to fade, but the center is still hard and very painful.

I think I will be scheduling a doctors appointment sometime this week. Perhaps on one of my off days. It's just better to know exactly whats wrong than wonder why it's taking 2 months to heal.

Hmm what else....(see? novel) So much for not wanting to blog today.

I'm starting to second guess my tattoo..more for the fact of what my dad/family will say. I know I'll never be interested in a job that wouldn't hire you based on the fact that you're covered in tattoos, so that's not really a big concern, but I don't know.

Ive found I ask myself if this is who I really am. The answer is always yes. I love art, I love being creative, I love being different. I'm getting this tattoo no matter what, I just hope my dad doesn't hate me for it.

So now I'm just waiting for George to call me! It's been almost a month, he said sometime at the end of April, I'm thinking it'll probably be in May. Justin is getting one before me, and he hasn't even been called yet, so who knows how long this will take.

Alright, I should stop talking now..or writing I guess...

Wish me luck on becoming less fat.

Thanks.

Later days

P.s. My team won first place at the Heart and Stroke tournament! Woot woot!
