New Year Resolutions

First of all, happy new year! I hope that everyone had a great 2009, and will have an even better 2010!
This morning as I was sitting in bed I realized that I hadn't made any new year resolutions yet. So I wrote down a bunch, and here they are...


One: Spend less time doing useless stuff on the computer.


Two: Get at least 5 new authors for the TLC blog.
Yes, that means you. Since you're reading this, I'm going to assume that you're a teen in TLCI, and I want you to become an author. If you're interested, email me at homeschoolsara@gmail.com and I'll get you started. (BTW, you don't need a blogger account to become an author. If you email me your posts I'll post them for you.)


Three: Publish Spirit of the Moon at least 4 times.
Spirit of the Moon is an e-zine for girls that I'm starting with my sister, and I really want it to work out.


Four: Solve and write proofs to all of the MathPath  problems and at least half of the MathCamp  problems on their qualifying tests for the 2010 camp.


Five: Learn a kickover, and make it consistent.
A kickover is a gymnastics skill that I've been struggling with for about 4 or 5 years. I've been really really close to doing it for about 3 years, and I really want to finally learn it! (Yes, I know that a kickover is a really "easy" skill to take so long to learn, but there's a reason why I'm not in this for medals :-) )


Six: Finish the novel-length version of Cinderella that I'm writing, including editing.


Seven: Complete and feel comfortable with the material in chapter 1 (and hopefully more) of the Rosetta Stone Hebrew software.


Eight: Keep my room organized.
I could start by cleaning it :)


Nine: Stretch for at least 5 minutes every day.
I started stretching regularly so that my gymnastics would get better, but it also just helps me feel better (If you've ever been to a really good yoga class you know what I mean). I haven't really been doing it much lately, and I'd like to change that. I normally stretch for more than 5 minutes, but I figured there's a better chance that it will happen if it doesn't take much time :)


That's all from me, but what are your new year resolutions? Share and discuss in the comments!


And just wondering, is there any difference between a resolution and a goal? Or does resolution just sound better?
