A Year Resolves, and We Resolve

As I considered my resolutions for the new year I came up with three wildly important things:

Move Yo' Body
I learned about this program from two of my housemates Sheilagh and Molly.
http://www.c25k.com/
The Couch to 5k Program is a build up to being able to run really fast for a thousand miles.
I am not exaggerating.
Yes I am.
As the weeks progress you increase the amount of time you run and decrease the amount of time you power walk. (Though I read somewhere that you actually burn more calories power-walking, hmmm.)
I am resolving to be active as frequently as my schedule allows.
I am a much happier person when I am using my body, and this past semester took a toll on me emotionally largely due to the fact that I had no time to do anything good for my body, my barreh, if you will.
SO BAM- Couch to 5k AND ALSO I'm taking a figure skating class twice a week.
Can't wait, call me Kristine Yamaguchi. Or don't, because I won't respond.

I Play Flute and Stuff
Secondly, I resolve to find a way to love flute again.
For some of you reading this, you may have just winced and thought, "Doesn't she go to school for flute?"
Yeah well, surprise. Sometimes all it takes is one human with really poor people skills to turn you off of an instrument-but I'm going to work through it.
So...if anyone has any inspiration for me on that front, please share, because I haven't really come up with a plan yet.
(And sending me Youtube videos of 7 year olds playing all the pieces I'm playing will NOT help. In case that's confusing to any of you.)

Future Teacher of America (and hopefully some otha' places...)
And thirdly...tertiarily, (go with it,)
I'm going to set one poem to music every month.
I'm terrified of composing and always have been.
(Lack of exposure in my impressionable years-let this be a lesson to all future teachers of elementary students.)
So, I'm setting up a low-stakes, no pressure environment to compose one piece a month using a poem.
And I don't care how god-awful it sounds.
(That is a lie, welcome to my life of extreme self-editing.)

I blog about this because each of these resolutions has come to me either from learning a lesson about myself from myself, or watching others go through similar experiences, or just understanding that there are certain things I must do to remain sane.
And as my mother and I have come to agree on more and more as of late, we really appreciate people who are sane. And we're not necessarily talking chemical-imbalance, so please no one take offense.

ON THAT ALARMINGLY OFF TOPIC NOTE:
LET'S GO 2012, YA YA!
