The New Year brings with it lots of changes. Included in all of these changes are: re-started diets, writing 2011 for the date, resolutions to improve, and a new semester. In preparation for the new year, I was reflecting upon this past year and all the various things I have done with the intention of evaluating my progress in life and to come up with other strategies I could apply to improve even more. As I started my reflecting, I remembered a year ago when I had started the New Year as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Due to rules and restrictions I decided that to start the year 2010 I wanted to take a shower. As I thought about my shower and how I started the New Year, I smiled because of all the symbolism of starting the year "clean." This clean can be interpreted literally, or in the sense that I have a clean slate (or have started over) and I can make my own decisions and choices in the upcoming year. The shower also made me smile because of how much I enjoy them. Few things feel as good as a hot shower. I decided that to start this New Year of 2011 I wanted again to start with a shower. I wanted to start the year by doing something that I enjoy and makes me happy; I wanted to start the New Year off right.
That good start to this New Year has continued as this new semester has started. I really enjoy all of my classes and my schedule. This semester I am taking several business classes and a couple of religion classes totaling 13 credit hours. Outside of classes I am also working at Home Depot again this semester.
