List lists lists!

I guess this is my new years resolutions post, lots of things that i want to really try and do, but know, deep down that i won't. BUT maybe, just maybe, if i put them up there i'll try a bit harder and maybe, just maybe stick to them..
I'm copying this list from Aunt Pearl, although i'm adding a lot of mine, but like myself, auntie likes to make lots of lists instead of actually doing things, so feel that we are kindred spirits and I can steal without feeling bad about it.

SO here goes, C$'s list of things for 2006

My 2006 List of TO-DOs and TO-DON'Ts

Money Things

• Continue to bring lunch to work every day.
• Search for deals and go shopping only when I need to.
• limit my at-work spending to under $10 a week (snacks, sodas, etc)
• continue to depoist money that would have been paid towards students loans into high yielding savings account.
• pay off my AMEX each month so it doesn't pile up and I can continue to get points for free trips.
• pay off as much of my Citi credit card as possible each month.

"I'm now a size ___?"

• go back to only allowing myself one soda a day.
• drink more water.
• eat less pasta and more lean protein.
• start working out again (weights and cardo)
• stick to low-fat treats that are just as tasty as normal (hello smart pop mini bags!)
• eat more, smaller meals during the day.
• don't eat anything large after 8:30 pm
• walk the <1>

Practial Things:

• Find a new job
• be on time to things. I don't have to be early, just there time.
• go to bed by 10, up by 6:30-7 am
• keep my home clean so that i don't have to take a weekend out of my busy schedule just to clean.
• get organized--find a system that works for me.
• potentially quit job #2 or at least cut down to one day a week. no more working 7 days a week.

Boys and Friends

• continue to be involved in alum things.
• avoid turning down opportunities to meet people, even if i'm tired or uninterested. what will it hurt to go out and find out i don't like something instead of just sitting at home wondering.
• try to get in with DCboy's group--he's leaving in 4 months and his roommate seems really cool as well as their mutual friends. attempt to fit in and make some new friends along the way.
• continue to do the online dating thing--it can't hurt but don't limit myself to only online. be brave and bold, as some guys out.
• give every guy at least a second chance.
• do not, repeat, DO NOT compare anyone to DCboy.
• give g-dawg a kiss on the cheek.
• introduce DCboy and Gdawg to get DCboy's opinion of my chances with G.
• join a kickball league.

Big plans (job and school related):

• if company B offers me a position next week, and the money is more than the Pit, take the job.
• continue to take classes at Strayer or transfer to GW distance in Alexandria.
• take at least one class a semester (company A offers tutition reimbursement)
• start studying for the LSAT's. Plan on taking the Oct test.
• Depending on test scores, determine where to apply. If scores are good, look at staying in DC for another 3-4 years, apply to a few Northeast schools (mostly Harvard, BC, NYU, Columbia, etc) and to some schools out west (specifically LA/orange county area or in Seattle). If scores are no so good, but still good enough to get in, attend Stetson University for free. (will apply there no matter what the test scores are). Will also apply to some lower tier law schools just to see where I get in.
• if i get into a school in DC, talk to company A about staying on and how much the tutition reimbursement would be/if my hours could get cut back, etc. If it doesn't work out, quit company A to go full time and get a part time job to pay some bills, but basically live on student loans.
• If i move to florida, i will be dependent on my father to stay in a job for at least 3 years. I won't live with him, but will expect him to step it up, afterall he contributed nothing to my undergraduate degree. nothing. at all. zero. (and i went to one of the most expensive private schools in the nation

i think that's all, but i will mostly like update soon.

Keep me straight!
