New Year, New Haircut, New Blog

So I overheard someone saying that it's 2009... Well, with new beginnings come new hairdos!

This means no more of this...

Or even this...

And lots more (or less, depending how you wanna look at it) of this...

I hope your happy Mum ;). Yep, I done-got me a haircut. And actually, I dig the new do'... We'll see how long it lasts. In other news since my last post, Christmas was good, I didn't flunk any classes, Megs and I learned how to make sushi, Obama is President, the Packers are switching to a 3-4 defense AND... I've made a few New Year's resolutions. (Additional details found here)

"Now Kody, it's already February... isn't it a little late for New Year's resolutions?"

Ah ha. Oh the err of your ways.

Sure, maybe it's been over a month since everyone started on this whole "2009" kick, but what is a year really? No my dear friends and family, the "New Year" officially begins after the Super Bowl. Besides, the next 7 months feel like at least 12 without football anyways.

Thus I give you, Kody's Abbreviated-yet-Comprehensive-though-in-no-particular-order-New-Year's-Resolutions-that-will-likely-end-up-as-regrets... List.

Numero Uno- Blog fortnightly. Hence me typing, and you reading this.

Number Deux- Attend the temple monthly. Do I really need to explain this one?

numer trzy- Get an Internship this summer. Real-life punched me in the mouth when I realized that I'm graduating next year.

เลขสี- Exercise by playing sports more often. It's not that I'm getting fat per se... it's just that Meghan has been watching a lot of The Biggest Loser recently.

число п'ять- Don't miss class for any reason. (unless that reason is really good) I would guess that class attendance and good grades are postively related.

anim na numero ng- Attend a Packer game. Megs took me to a pre-season game in San Fran last August and it was pretty much The Funnest Thing Ever. I think The Funnest Thing Ever II would be pretty sweet too.

العدد سبعة- Figure out what we're doing after I graduate. Obviously, this one is related to numer trzy, but involves thinking/planning that's a bit more long-term. Recently I've found an interest studying health economics, and perhaps pursuing an MHA or MHSA degree might be just the thing I'm looking for. That said, I lost one of my slippers about 45 minutes ago... so maybe that's just the thing I'm looking for. Conundrum.

號- Be nice to Meghan you jerk! To be honest, I don't think that I treat Megs all-that-bad. I mean, I get stuff off the top shelf for her and let her drink the Dr. Pepper when there's only a little left. The problem is rather that she treats me so well. Really the only way to equate the situation is for me to sprinkle her path with rose petals where 'ere she goes. Anybody have a gift card to 1-800-flowers?

The-Last-But-Not-Least-Number-Nine- Share the Gospel with someone. This might sound pretty easy, but to you who question the difficulty of this resolution I give you two addendums. 1) There aren't many people in Provo who don't know about the LDS Church... especially on BYU Campus and 2) When I say "Share the Gospel" I don't just mean mentioning something off-the-cuff like "Hey there was this guy Joseph Smith who did something cool... ok bye." No, I'm implying that the act of "sharing" the Gospel would in fact have a non-trivial impact on said person's life and soul. Sounds exciting.

For personal reasons, I left some of my resolutions off this list (mainly because I've forgotten some of them already...). But nevertheless, this menu of goals, acheivements and events are wide-spread enough to give you an idea of what I hope this coming year to be. What are some of your New Year's resolutions?

This is somewhat of a trial-by-fire as I've never been big into New Year's resolutions before, but hey... I got a haircut, and that's a good start. :)
