Semi-annual New Year's Resolution update

1. I will get my abs back...so help me god I will look amazing damn it!
ok so i have successfully not lost or gained any weight since jan lol...though goal this summer is to work out 3 times a week on mon, wed, fri...since i had class this morning, first workout will be friday...and i will look amazing for swim suit season

2. I will swear to celibacy (before u freak out and think im a reformed sinner let me clarify).  I will ONLY have sex with a guy if and only if we are actually dating.  Dating is qualified as 2 months of continual contact, dates, and actual feelings for each other.  SOOO for all you users out there (and deep down you know who you are) sorry but these legs are CLOSED.
so this has worked sort of.  currently dating a guy (slept with him after about a month) but he lives in LA so that means we "hang out" but only via phone...except for the one week he was up here...long story short it has been a tumultuous adventure that im hoping will end with us falling in love and living happily ever after...mostly cause im already starting to fall for him and im gonna have some serious egg on my face if this doesnt work out....*sigh* why can we all just get along come on now

3.  I will break even by 3/31 and save 70% of every paycheck starting 4/1. lord help me
Actually doing really well with this one, i have only had to "break into my savings" once this year for like $300 bucks...thats nothing! now that ive saved enough the new goal will be to invest the money into stocks and work on buying a new laptop cause this thing is a piece of doo doo

4. I will find a job in la or nyc...i will be picky and i will not settle for anything less than im worth.
ok job hunt is not going well at all...however i read a book about finding jobs in los angeles and have my work cut out for me...for the summer im going to be establishing direct contact with the heads of department for every facility i want to work in regardless of job availability...get them to know who i am so that when a job does become available they cant say theyve never heard of me.

5. I will save 1 day a week to myself.  That means no friends, no family, no nobody.  Just vivian, the sunshine, a cup of java and maybe a trip to the mall.
ok this was working up until last month lol. with all my vacations and babysitting on saturdays and ap testing i havent had a day to myself in a while...but i scheduled them this summer to be saturday and i dont have tutoring anymore so maybe ill get the whole weekend off! *GASP*

6.  I will start reading for pleasure again.  I miss it, so in an effort to culture myself I will read 1 book a month for the rest of the year.
The only month i have missed so far is may (im still about 50 pages from the end of my book) its only cause ive been busy! but i swear im gonna finish that and reading for june will be Picture of Dorian Gray which i heard is scary, depressing, and fabulous...im so excited!

7.  I will visit la at least 2 more times this year.  Friends are as important as family and should be treated as such, especially since yall are so darn close.
well i just went to la haha...so that is twice that ive been there this year so far and im going again next weekend so that hits my quota! and lets be honest ill probably be down there for july 4 but we'll see.

8.  I will not...REPEAT WILL NOT..let a boy make me cry this year.  I am totally awesome and as Aneea would say should never compromise myself.
ok i totally f-ed this one up. i have definitely let a boy make me cry this year. its so easy to pretend you dont care until you do and then all of a sudden the tables are turned and ur doing everything in ur power to not f up which of course is making u f up more...ugh i have not felt this helpless since the last time i got my heart crushed, i guess the only time ive gotten my heart crushed..what a traumatic event...not gonna let it slow me down, gotta tell this guy exactly what i want and how i feel and he can take it or leave it but at least i can say that i gave it everything i got.

9.  I will not give into the temptation of drink.  Everytime I think to myself "wow I could use a drink" I will put my glass down.  Drinking should be for pleasure not for relief. (although I fully believe I have lots to drink for)
have been GREAT i repeat FANTASTIC with this one.  have yet to throw up this year, yet to drink due to sorrow, and really have not been that drunk in any situation (except at rehab in vegas but lets be honest no one was sad at that pool party haha) i like this rule i think i may keep it forever.

10.  And lastly, I will not raise my voice at my mother this year.  That's right, you heard it hear first.  Knowing me this will be by far the hardest "resolution" for me to keep, but possibly the most important.  Fact: I love my mother.  Fact: She is a crazy bitch.  Fact: My mother loves me.  Fact: I will treat her like someone who loves me, not a crazy bitch (even though she is one...let's just reiterate that)
ok fact...mom is a crazy bitch who deserves to be yelled at.  ive only raised my voice a couple times but have never actually full on yelled at her..usually by the time i get that mad i just leave the apartment (which i have done several times) or she kicks me out....basically she told me the other day that she hates me so much and that i need to move out cause she cant live "like this" when i told her to specify she just stated "like this" yea...time to get out of dodge cause living with her has put a permanent cloud over my head and ice in my heart.
