Get Ready to Mourn the Death of 2007

People say that you are supposed to make new years resolutions. Personally, I think that it is much easier to make a to-do list of sorts. I find that it seems to make the huge task of surviving a whole new year a bit less daunting. This is mine for 2008:

1. Finish the seventh grade with a second honor(A's and B's).
2. Survive the school year with all of my friendships intact.
3. Read all of Hemingway's novels.
4. Finish the first and second drafts of my novel The Puzzle Called Love and start the first draft for untitled novel 2 (you know, the one who's plot sounds like Giligan's Island).
   
5. Refrain from dislocating any more body parts.
