I am getting extremely lazy about updating this thing...
The snow makes me feel uninspired. I haven't done any creative writing since I got back to the snow. Granted, in Hawaii I was in an actual creative writing class, required to write. But I am filled with new determination to not only do some serious reading during my semester "off.," but to do some serious writing as well. Not serious as in writing about heart attack and war-type things, but serious as in making myself do it on a regular basis.
No, this is not a new year's resolution.

Coughing Sucks
I've had a cough for two weeks. Blech!!
I hate coughing! I'm sitting there, minding my own business, happy as the proverbial clam, and WHAM! I'm coughing like a seventy year old man with emphysema.
I wish I could just cough up a hairball like a cat and be done with it. Ok, that's gross. But I think it would be better than hacking for two weeks straight!
I'm going to blame the freezing cold, dry air here in Alaska. My lungs apparently got attacked while weakened from breathing the warm, moist air of Hawaii for almost six months.
I've been taking Mucinex. I'm not sure how I feel about supporting their company, though. For one, because their commercials are disgusting, and two, because it hasn't really worked at all. But I'm not really sure what it is supposed to do in the first place. The offensive commercials are somewhat ambiguous.
I suppose there is nothing to do but endure until my body gets rid of it on its own.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go pick my lung up off the floor.

New Year
So. It is 2010. Strange. I set a great precedent for the rest of the year by sleeping in until eleven.
I wonder how many people are starting diets today, and how many of them have already broken their diets today?
I don't like New Year's resolutions. By the end of the year, if I haven't accomplished them, I feel like crap. I think setting goals is good, I guess, but I have never been very good with writing down goals and accomplishing them. I like to recognize goals after I've accomplished them. For example, I ended this semester with straight A's. That was not necessarily a goal of mine-not that I had openly acknowledged, anyway-but when I got straight A's, I said to myself, "Good job, Beth! You totally accomplished your goal of getting straight A's!"
It gave me a good, accomplishy feeling inside.
So my New Year's resolution is to accomplish at least one great goal that I didn't know I had! And look at that, "Good job, Beth! You updated your blog today, thereby accomplishing that goal!" Now I can relax until next year... anything else can be considered surplus goal-accomplishing.
