August: Self-Help Month

This Month of August, 2005 I will now decree to do the following:
Practice my Cello at least twice a week and find a song to play for next semester, this may include paying the whole $6 to buy the Beethoven Cello Sonatas in order to actually hear what I will be forced to play if I can't find something better
Work Out at least 4 times a week - It started this morning with a 20 min. jog/run around the neighborhood and Pilates/Yoga and Frisbee are all acceptable forms of exercise
Eat Vegetables every day - Self Explanatory
Limit Spending - I should tell you my allowance here in order to help people understand how much I can and cannot spend but I really just need to stop the impulse buying when I am on my own
Do Math homework - Sadly, may be the hardest to accomplish as I sitll haven't done it today and see no point in doing it today as I do not have the test until next Monday and a final on Thursday. After all, I did fall asleep today in calss and may or not even recognise my notes as my own anymore


Other possibilities still under consideration -
Keeping a written journal because many keep telling me that as much as I think writing my feelings down now only looks mundane on the page today and that in two months will be spectacularly hilarious. I could always promise to just post more to livejournal

Preparing for college - This wil be necessary later this month anyways but for some odd reason I have no desire to start doing anything until my summer class is over and possibly not packing until I stop working and making sure I have bought all the necessary gap clothes for the rest of my life (Yes they are cheap for me but I still need to curb that spending habit soon) That will give me about 18 hours in which to pack which may or may not be sufficient time to not forget anythign completely and utterly necessary for college survival.

I should work on bettering my spirit instead of just my physical self but I really can't think of anythign besides taking time to meditate each day and as any sane person would realize the moment you start to give yourself too much time alone to think just equals crazier and more suspicious for people like me. Paranoia is not a good look on me and I should be going to church or volunteering but i have no cause currently.


If you have any ideas or wish to share your goals for the month of August please share below. I will attempt to reutrn them in a timely manner.
