Books...Television...Computers...?

Here it is, the year 2007 and the world keeps changing and changing. We have no control over the speed in which things change. First it was books. Then we moved onto televisions. Now computers are everywhere. As you get older, you will have more and more decisions to make as to how you want to spend your time. I'd like you to rank the three(books, television, computer) in the order in which you spend your free time, from most to least. Also, a brief explanation telling why you spend your time in this way would be good.

As always, I'll start.

During the school year, given the 3 choices (books, t.v., computers) I spend more time watching television. This is partially because I'm a big hockey fan so this means watching games on television. In second place would be using my computer. I spend so much time on my computer at school, it's not as appealing to me after school. I spend the least of my time with books. This is because it takes me some serious time to find something I really want to read. Once I find something to read, I want to have the freedom of reading whenever I want throughout the day until I finish it. This usually means that I save reading until the summer.

So, that's me. What about you?

Happy New Year!

2007---Here we come!
A new year, a new start, and, a chance to make some New Year's Resolutions. What is a resolution? It's a commitment to try and make changes for the better. It gives you an opportunity to start fresh with renewed energy. So, now, let's do it. Let's decide what each of us wants to change for the better and how. When you've decided, post your New Year's Resolution.

What's my New Year's Resolution?

My first resolution is to deal with things sooner rather than put things off. I want to make a decision and follow through within a reasonable period of time---sooner rather than later.

My second resolution is to take at least thirty minutes a day to do some form of exercise. It's time to get moving!

Alright! It's your turn. What's your New Year's Resolution?
