(T.I. Featuring Ludacris - On Top of the World)

We’re right in the middle of the holiday season and before we know it, it’ll be 2011. People are already asking me what my new years’ resolutions are like I’m done with 2010. I’m not quite done but getting a head start doesn’t hurt:

1. Break my procrastinating habits. It’s nice to get things done but part of kicking ass is doing it in a timely manner so there’s no panic, no rush, no compromise to the quality of my work. I wish to kick ass. The rule is “Do now, sleep later.” THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID! I have started by making this list early. Cool.
2. Stay organized. In terms of physical organization and “stuff”, I’ve found that I can be quite a neat freak when my mom isn’t around to tell me to pick up after myself but for some reason, I haven’t been organized when it mattered. In terms of timing, I’ve developed the habit of making to-do lists but I need to stop losing them through the course of the day. I think it’s time to reload on dusting sheets, post-it’s, and a snazzy new calendar.
3. Go to classes/Take charge of my education. I need to stop relying on the professors’ online notes. I also need to stop sleeping through classes; 9AM isn’t that early when the commute is five minutes. It’s decided: In bed by 2AM at the latest, out of bed by 8AM, out the door by 8:45AM, taking notes by hand by 9:01AM if the professor’s lecture style allows for my slow writing (Bringing my laptop to class tends to mean Facebooking and doing online errands). Med school, pl0x. I’ll catch up on sleep later.
4. Budget my money. I really don’t need half of the shit I’ve been buying for myself. I shouldn’t be buying these things either, considering that I’m not making the big girl bucks yet and I don’t have time to work more hours. I’ve decided that if I want something, I’ll write it down on a list and rank it by priority so when I have a little more cash, I don’t go too crazy. I need to stick to my lists. 
5. Get/Stay in shape. I’ve gotten thicker with this snacking and not working out business. There are multiple gyms on campus so I should take advantage of them. If anything, I have P90X on my external still if I find people that won’t laugh at my clumsiness to use it with. No moar late night runs to Goodies’ unless I’m actually going to run!

Basically, find my way to the top of the world like T.I. and Ludacris. LAWL. House on top of La Jolla.
