16 new years resolutions

(For those of you who are friends with me on facebook, YES I did this as a note too. This is slightly more in depth.)

YES I have 16 new years resolutions. YES I plan on completing them all. :)
  1. Don't visit my parents until June, unless Kyle visits. They stress me out entirely too much!
  2. Make straight As! I know I can study at least an hour per day, per class.
  3. Get a good job. At least it will be one less thing for my mom to stress me out about. It kind of seems like I could enter into the IT field (scary, I know), even though my degree is in engineering.
  4. Come up with a thesis topic. Whether I start on it or not this year is outside of my scope. I don't know anything about Engineering Managment yet, but I hope I figure out enough to write a thesis on it by the time next year is over.
  5. Get that money right!!! Paying off student loans, credit cards, etc.
  6. Visit the Mary Kay museum in Dallas! Lots of people have said it's a great experience.
  7. Visit my friends around the US, and travel with some friends from here. Visiting all the Texas peoples--there's lots!; going to Chi-town with Zeke... I'm sure there's more. I'm just tired of being so bored all the time.
  8. Lose weight. YES, it's the same one I make every year, but I'm going to keep making it until I get it right!
  9. Earn a Mary Kay car. I know that I can do this one. Also, I would like to have a spiffy car to drive around when I take these road trips!
  10. Get on-track for being a Mary Kay director! This one goes with the previous resolution, but I want to have them both written down as a visual reminder.
  11. Be a good role model for my little sister in Big Brothers Big Sisters! She's a really sweet girl, and I want to show her the world a little (oddball) bit at a time.
  12. Rent or buy a house. OMFG I need to stay away from apartments! They're just frustrating and I never feel like I have enough space. Also, as much as I like living alone, it would be fun to have some peoples to share my space with. I love my cat, but when the dishes don't get washed, I can't exactly blame it on her. ^^
  13. Use my planner regularly. Regularly meaning twice a day. I think it will be tricky at first, but once I get used to always using it, I will begin to properly utilize it!
  14. Learn to play my guitar. Yes, I want to be just like Gail, but I think I might go toward the "self-taught" track first.
  15. Cook a new recipe at least once a month. I love cooking, and it's cheaper than always going out to eat! Also, if anyone wants to sample my crazy cooking, or be a co-chef, tell me such! (Yes, even my Texas homies... when I come to visit you I GUESS I could cook for you once or twice... lol)
  16. Don't forget about myself! I think this one is the most important. No matter what people resolve to do or not do, they forget to have benchmarks for their goals and rewards for their successes. I know what my resolutions are, and I already have the first few benchmarks and rewards set for them. Instead of trying to keep daily or weekly progress on all of these, I think I'm going to stick with monthly progress reports for myself. Also, failing isn't a bad thing, it just means I have to keep working at it!
