Our New Year's Resolution.


According to the Greek tradition, New Years Eve coincided with the rebirth of Dionysus (god of the grape harvest, chaos and ecstasy). In modern tradition, “Old Man Time” is frequently retired on New Years Eve as a younger incarnation ushers in the events of the New Year.
-What old habits (bad habits) could you get rid of for a successful and happy 2011?
-Do you have a New Year's resolution for 2011 yet? Why or why not?
Our world history class's resolution
I spent much of my winter break catching up on all my grading... thus you either already have a grade printout in front of you or will very shortly. My personal resolution is to not fall that far behind in grading again. :)
Luckily for us the end of the semester is not until the 27th of January because there are many missing assignments. We are going to start our 2011 in world history off by having a quiet study hall to catch up. Everyone needs to work quietly and independently in his/her seat. I am here to answer questions and help so don't be afraid to ask for it. You can get right to work. Also next Monday I'll be calling every student in danger of not passing world history (a D or lower).

    - Something that I could change to be successful is to hand in work and be more responsible.

  12. I think I could probably manage my time well. I often go home and I don't touch my homework until 9:00 or something. If I dealt with my homework better I would be happier and better-rested.

    I don't have a new years resolution. I know what parts of me I need to change, and I agree that the new year is a good motivator, but I'm just sort of "meh" about it. I don't really think about it.

  14. I could try to get to bed earlier doing school. I'm usually half asleep. I'm good today though, I went to bed super early. I don't quite have a resolution yet. I didn't give it much thought.

  21. New years sucked. I had plans with my friends but they were canceled to go to a lodge up north with my moms side of the family. To play board games and eat stale food. My man baby uncle was the one that dragged us there even though he had the stomach flu. He got us all sick, including my father who has been struggling with his health after a battle with meningitis. So the last freeking days of my vacation were ruined by my jack ass uncle. THE END
