To Do List for January 30th

• Wake up at 5:15 a.m. Do not shower before seminary. Make your bed. • After seminary, go home, dress warmly, and run for half an hour. • After running, read your scriptures, pray, and write in your journal. • Contemplate Personal Progress. • Take a well-deserved shower, but do not wash your hair today. • Travel to the mall, to get Amanda’s Persuasion. Have an adventure involving walking, an i-pod, and Andrew Bird as a companion. Try to find a gift for Bek (bracelet, necklace), Mom (cool hair clips), and Kika (nice water-colored pencils). Should you try to find cool Chinese Lanterns for Amanda’s room to go with your gift? • When you return home with plump and bulging shopping bags, find a nice pen and write Amanda a contemplative note about life, Persuasion, Captain Wentworth, friends, hope, the gospel, and birthdays. • WRITE your DBQ on New Imperialism. Write it for yourself and NOT for Ms. Hinkleman. • Help mom around the house. Clean your room. Put away clothes. P.S. At some point during this day, you should also fit in… -eating a healthy, small breakfast -eating a healthy, small lunch -possibly, hanging out with people -practicing Moonlight Sonata for piano, and violin music -watching a movie, reading Mistress Pat or Charles Dickens -finding some good quotes about writing -reading Sarah’s Writing With Style -checking blogs, updating your own -dancing, singing, smiling -figuring out how to wear a Chinese dress without throwing a temper tantrum, or feeling ridiculously inadequate -feeling confident -emotionally prepare for 16 I figure if I stick it on my blog that someone will read it and hold me to it. Thank you for reading it. Now call me and tell me to do it.
