By way of introduction...

For years I've tried again and again (unsuccessfully) to keep a journal. It's just not in the cards for me to have precise, in-the-moment recollections of my late teenage angst (perhaps this is a good thing). But, since it's a New Year I figure it's a good time for a resolution that is sure to be broken: to post on here once a week.

I also have a few goals for 2011 that I thought I would commit to the interwebs (because we all know that anything put on here can never be rescinded)... and I say goals specifically to try to avoid the curse of the  "resolution".

1. Complete all the Great Works Requirements and papers for the Honors Program
2. Come up with a darn good Honors Thesis
3. Read at least one extra-curricular book per month (not including guilty pleasure drivel)
4. Update my bucket list
5. Knock three things off my bucket list
6. Be better about staying in touch with friends and family
7. Dedicate a few hours every month to working on my creative writing
8. Start and complete my 100% for 100 Days: Body, Mind and Soul challenge
* More on this soon... My official anticipated start date is January 10.
