2010...New Start

It's now past the halfway point of January 2010. I've decided to start blogging again, which I can add to my millions of New Years Resolutions that I may or may not keep. The list so far goes as follows:
-Spend less time on the computer (I realize that blogging might not be so conductive to this goal, but I can blog on my phone, which doesn't involve being on the computer.)
-Get back to the healthy diet I kept in the summer. So far, so good. I've had the odd junk food indulgence, but I never intended to cut junk food out of my life completely.
-Quit buying books on Amazon. So far, so good. Only books for school have been purchased so far, though it's only 3 weeks into January.
-Save money..we'll see how this goes in the long run
-Learn better housekeeping....going ok
-Practice French. Haven't really got started on this one yet.

I also made a commitment to do well in my studies, but that wasn't so much a new years thing as it was an 'I don't want to fail' thing. Studying via correspondence suits me well though. I can always find motivation to read and I learn well by reading. Statistics is a bitch though. I can do the math (it's really just simple algebra) but I'm not really sure sometimes why I'm doing it. I get the basic concepts fine (sample, population, blah blah blah) but some of the more invested concepts seem to only be skimmed through and I'm not sure what relevance they have in the greater world of statistics.
