New Year's Resolutions

This is a post that comes five days late, but do you really expect any better of me?

I am normally not one for New Year's Resolutions.  The "loose weight/get in better shape" resolutions fall by the wayside all to quickly.  The "spend more time with family and friends" resolutions are not applicable to me.  I have no substances to eliminate forever from my life (I have excellent relationships with sugar and coffee).  I have no debt to retire.  I really do enjoy my life; I need not resolve to do that.  As I am still in high school, I learn new things every day.  And I really am an organized person in spite of the appearance of my desk (cut me some slack; midterms are coming up).  These, the most common resolutions, have no relevance to my life.

However, the topic has been on my mind recently.  A friend recently shot me an email asking me a few questions about my habits regarding New Year's Resolutions for the Greenwich Academy Press (our school newspaper); and I have been considering the prospect of resolving something since I received that email.  For that reason I have resolved something!


This year, I will be posting a new piece of writing for every day.  That doesn't necessarily mean that I will have a new piece up every day (I'm failing miserably at that already).  There will be, by the end of next year, 365 pieces of writing on a blog.  Not this one. I will conveniently link to this new blog on the right sidebar as soon as I have set it up in order to avoid cluttering up this blog.

It all feels so official now, having written it out.  People of the Internet, I am committed.  This shall occur. And now for the requisite New Year's Question: have y'all resolved anything?  Talk to me in the comments.  It makes me feel cool.
