Happy December!

...or should it be Merry December? Actually, I think I like Joyful December. It really represents the spirit we should have during the month of Jesus' birthday, whether we're happy or not. :)

Anyway, I've been inspired by Kelli from She Learns As She Goes to do monthly resolutions (even if I'm a few days late!). I'll try to limit it to just a few. (I'm not the best at keeping my own personal goals, so I don't want to overdo it, haha)

1. Catch Up on School

Definitely the #1 thing I need to work on this week before holiday break. For those who don't know, I'm homeschooled (in high school), so I don't necessarily get in trouble for turning in schoolwork late, but it is a pain in the butt to have to catch up. :D So I only have a couple of weeks to do it, but I'm already halfway there, really. The main thing I really need to work on is Japanese, in which I'm a couple of weeks behind.

2. Exercise

Soccer season ended last month, so now I need to really motivate myself to be active. We have a Wii game called NFL Training Camp (it's my sister's, actually), and it sounds stupid that I would use the Wii to do this, but it really is a workout! And it's great during the winter so I can stay inside when it's cold. :) We also have an elliptical in the garage (not sure how cold it gets in there), and on warmer days maybe I can try this whole jogging thing that I've been wanting to do since September.

3. Write Something

I've been getting re-interested in writing again lately. I've had a few ideas for stories floating around my head for the past few days, so I want to at least write a little bit this month, even if I can only write a chapter of a series. I write both original and fanfiction, by the way.

4. Keep Up with My Journal

I've been keeping a journal for a little while, but lately with my dog needing constant care (she had back surgery and cannot move her back legs) and just pure laziness, I fell a little behind. I want to write at least 10 entries by the end of the month. That's a pretty easy goal, I think.


Also, even though I'm not adding it to my list, I hope to keep up with this blog a little bit. But if I don't blog until the end of the month, I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season.

  1. This is my first time visiting your blog, and I am amazed by how much we seem to have in common. I was also homeschooled, though I have my diploma now. I love writing, playing piano, Star Wars and technology.

    Anyway, I wish you the best of luck on all of your goals this month. Have a very merry Christmas!

  2. Hello! By chance I seem to have stumbled upon your blog. I'm a Christian highschool homeschooler as well. In my area homeschooling isn't very common, so I'm always excited to meet someone else who is homeschooled. :) I'll definitely continue reading your blog.
    Best of wishes!
