Resolutions, Airing of Grievances, and Best of List

This year I resolve to do the following:
Drink more water.
Take my daily inhaler daily.
3.7 GPA this quarter and all the ones following.
Get some (relevant k8 education related) volunteer work done over the summer.
Pay my credit card down to zero every monthly billing cycle.
Exercise lots!
Friday night book club/game night.
Finish reading "Wordy Shipmates" (I realize reading one measly book isn't a big deal, seeing as how I read at least 9 200-600 page textbooks every year, I don't usually have much time for leisure reading).
Figure out what's up with this acne/allergies once and for all and be done with it (my passport and driver's license expire next year so I need my face to be really nice looking).
Save at least $1000 this year.
Move in with Jeff.
Update this blog sometimes.
Figure out where I'm going to school next year!

Airing of Grievances
Mayor Nickels, you're an idiot. I couldn't get home for a week because the hills were too icy and no one was plowing or using salt. I busted up my knee walking 3 miles in the slushy ice and snow. You kicked homeless people off of state property that wasn't being used by anyone, was far away from any homes, and was despite the advice of the governor. You win my 2008 grievance award.
