With a new year comes new goals and aspirations.  Well now it's the beginning of a new semester.  It possiblely may even be the beginning of a new job.  I'm vowing to turn from my idleness and strive to be productive.  I've come to realize that my idea of relaxing is vegging out in front of the tv.  Then when I vegge out in front of the tv, I get hooked and times flies by.  I want to start spending time relaxing in other ways.  When I think about how much time I spend doing pointless things like being online and watching tv, it makes me mad.  I remember how much time just miraculously appeared while my computer was at the computer doctor or if our satelitte stopped working.  I want to spend a lot more time on school work and God.  I already am spending more time on God, but I still feel like it isn't enough.  I want to figure out ways to do more for Him.  With school, I want to try and get all A's, no B's this grading period.  Hopefully the whole semester.  I know I can do it as long as I stop slacking off and I actually do my best.  I guess I'm just reorganizing my priorities.  For instance, there is a big orchestra trip to Pittsburg coming up in March.  Well.. it's kinda expensive because we're going to a lot of cool places and even taking a cruise.  But I decided that instead of begging my parents for money, which would be a futile attempt, that I'd take the extra leap and fill out even more applications.  I filled out an application earlier and I have an interview set up for this Thursday at 12:45 so please be in prayer for that.  

Things lately haven't been that great, but I realized that I need to make the most of what I do have.  There are some things I can change and I'm definitely going to take charge and change those things.  I'm going to try to be more responsible and dependable.
