So, I love Wendys. Like, I love it. I almost always order
their tasty Homestyle Chicken Fillet Sandwhich, fries, and a Dr.
Pepper. It is like to die for. What I do not like, though, is what I
have in common with Wendys and that, my friends, is staying up (or in
their case, open) late. It is just not possible for me to get to bed
at a reasonable hour. I need to work on this, because it
is quite sad that by the time three in the morning rolls around I really do
not have much to show for staying up late, other than having watched
mindless television, read several blogs, facebooked, and messaged. It
does not help that right now I am working in a part-time position that
does not start until almost lunchtime. Since I signed up for a gym
membership today, I think I am going to start tomorrow trying to get to
bed at a decent hour, so by the morning I can be up and at the gym, then shower and head to work. I
mean, this is the plan at least.
Speaking of plans, I discovered my yearly plan tonight while going through some of my computer files. For the past couple of years, I have created lists that are goals for the upcoming year. Instead of new year's resolutions, I make to-do lists for the year. They have been called Lookin' Great in 2008 and Feelin' Fine in 2009. Cheesy, huh? I know, but as long as they keep me focused and on track, I do not really care what they are named. At the end of the year, I review the list and report on the progress I have made. I was surprised when I checked in to see how I was doing on this list that many of the things I had put on the list at the end of last year I had actually accomplished--from getting into a top ranked doctoral program to presenting at a conference to going to Legally Blonde the Musicial and Disney World to hanging with friends more. I honestly feel good about the things I have checked off or are in the process of checking off. I still have things to improve upon and continue working towards, but overall I am doing pretty well on my list. I kind of create the list to be impossible to completely reach any ways because it keeps me striving to be better and keep reaching. And that I am!
