In Honor of Trey's Triumphant Return

Alright - I'll admit it, I haven't been exactly chipper this past month.  And now that Trey is back in the States, and I can continue bugging him with free text messages, I've decided it's time to instill some change.  

Here are some things I hope to change:

1. The past will influence my choices, not dictate.  

2. I will secure more speaking arrangements for my clients.

3. No longer will my car acquire empty brown paper bags from Peet's

4. I will get up early enought to use public transportation to work.

5. My next apartment will be close to good buslines

6. No longer will I wait 2 months before going to a grocery store

7. I will clean out the curdled milk in my fridge.

8. I will take up drinking with the locals instead of remaining up-to-date on Hulu.

9. Some weekend I will pick up my video camera and make something.

10. Actually, every weekend from here on it will consist of me making something.

11. I will go to Alcatraz before my brother visits.

12. I will build more constructive relationships with bloggers.

13. A plan for graduate or business school will be established.

14. First, I should probably decide if I'd rather go to graduate or business school

15. Convince myself I have celiac and eat less carbs

16. Return more phone calls

17. Apologize less for actions I am not sorry for.

18. Realize my personal life is not my professional life and create clear distinctions between the two.  Additionally, I will not inhibit my actions in my personal life out of fear of professional backlash.

19.  I will do something impulsive. Soon. Ideally something drastic.

20.  No longer will I allow myeslf to stay in a state of limbo.  Use my ability to ask questions at work in my personal life and identify emotions.  Yes, I often have no idea if I am happy, sad, mystified, crazy, or other.  

I think that's it for now.
