Saying NO

I've decided to slowly reveal my New Year's Resolutions as I manage to accomplish them, so here is one of them: Learn how to say no. You don't even have to know me well to understand that I am the type of person who has something to do on the hour every hour, over-commits, and spreads herself too thin. It's my over-achieving nature that has started to bite back. So today I actually gave up my only shift at work so that I can have more of a regular schedule with room for studying. And gave up the hip hop Live yoga class (with LuLuLemon giveaways!) that my boss was hosting. I even passed up going to see Zombieland for only $2.50 at UVic Cinecentre (by myself, because I just don't care anymore). All because it's time to prioritize and set myself up for success for this semester.
What I should not have done today though was not go to church in order to get all this organizing (which currently is getting through all the emails I've not attended to over 09 and earlier even), because I just ended up napping anyway. Oh yeah, that's another resolution. No more napping, except for weekends. Check :)

I'm so proud of you for posting more than I've actually been reading. I'll actually have to start posting on mine again as well but that will be later
