Things I accomplished today:
- called the RIC records office to make sure I can register on the 15th
- drank a grande clovered casi cielo
- went down to RIC to pick up a copy of my major requirements and check out a course bulletin
- went to see Up in the Air by myself
- discovered I only need one more 300 level class plus a senior seminar to complete my major
- made delicious Italian family dinner for Katie and I
All things considered, I think I deserve a gold star.
And I feel pretty damn good about myself.

i am your trampoline
Here's the good news: 2009 is over.
Here's the bad news: I haven't blogged since August. Oops.
Ironically, one of my last posts was a list of things I wanted to accomplish before the end of 2009. I didn't get very far but I did do some of them. Most notably, probably managing to get myself promoted somehow. I also opened a new savings account at a different bank that will be solely for all of my tips to reside in and never see the light of day. Until April.
I didn't even have my puppy yet the last time I blogged. Its weird to think I've only had him for three months or so, it feels like a lifetime.
Alright. The point of this was to put some resolutions down in writing somewhere in my life. I'm not usually big on resolutions but I feel like there are a lot of things that I need to change about the way I'm doing things, and maybe putting some silly label on the changes will make a difference. Maybe not.
1. ALL tips are being saved. All of 'em. The only exception being if I'm about to die of starvation or my gas tank is on E. But I will be doing everything in my power to live solely off of my paychecks and save all of my tips.
2. Make getting back to school a priority. I've already been doing this over the past few days, but I need to not get discouraged and make sure I figure it out.
3. Healthier lifestyle. I'm not a dieter, never will be. But I could definitely be eating a lot better, more natural, organic foods. This will include cutting red meat out of my diet again, for good this time. I always feel better when I do this.
Those are the big ones, I guess. Others include... learning how to say no. And in turn, not letting people take advantage of me or my niceness anymore. This is mostly in regards to work but its a good one in general, I think.
I want to write more... as usual. I think I'll probably start with blogging random things and wait for inspiration to hit. I've never been able to force anything decent out.
Oh, here's a big one. Learn to accept that my job is JUST coffee. Its only coffee. Making that my 2010 work mantra.
Also, I want to keep researching and listening to new music. That used to be something I was passionate about and didn't do much of in '09.
And lastly, the week of April 26th will be one of the best of my life, and I am determined to make sure of it. No drama, no stress, no money worries, nothing but an amazing time with some great chicks. I can't wait.
Off to work for 8 hours and get paid for 12. Holiday pay. I'm a fan.
