[day 8] short term goals for this (next) month and why

hmmmmm... haven't blogged for a while since I angrily stormed off in frustration the last time. So here goes:

Short term goals:

1. keep running-
because I like to find an excuse to quit when things get hard,
and because it feels great! :)

2. keep the house clean (haha hahahahaha. hahahaha.)
because I can't think very well in a mess,
because our upstairs roommates have been begging me to not hog the washer and dryer so many times I think we will be evicted soon,
and because it makes me feel better as a housewife.

3. to work on buying less unneeded things.
because someone recently told me "just because something is on sale, doesn't mean you need it,"
because Jeremy and I finally ran out of money on our target giftcard we've been using for the last 6 months (a million sad faces),
and because I'm sick of being shocked and giving my "oh my gosh I'm so shocked" face to the cashier when they tell me what my total is.

4. get a 4.0
because I've never gotten one in college before
and because it's kind of self- explanatory.

5. get into nursing school!!
because it's been one of my goals for a long time, and I find out this month (but it's not like I have very much control over it at this point).

6. eat healthier (this should actually go with keep running, but I brain does loops and loops while I type)
because it all just feels great,
because I don't want anyone to be "detecting a bulge" and thinking I'm pregnant,
because it's harder to have to burn it off than to just eat better,
because I love seeing smaller numbers on the scale,
just because :)

7. having a more positive attitude on life.
because it's the right thing to do,
because it eventually makes me happier and feel better,
and because it reminds me of what I'm grateful for, and it's always good to be humbled.

8. having family night with "the family" every week
because Jer and I hang out all the time anyway, why not make it official?
and because it'll bring us closer to make it offical. :)

9. get cracking on my craft projects.
because my house is exploding with cute things and ideas to rennovate (ie. my 6 shelves, a shadowbox, my gigantic lamp, ribbon for flowers, my dress from the DI, the list goes on!)
and because I love the products :)
