Our Stories: Resolutions Rumblings § The Amanda Project

Resolutions Rumblings

Cornelia here, and you know what that means. Deputy Delegation is on the loose again. This time, he has blessed me with the “very important” task of relaying that he, Nia, and Callie are tied up cramming for major testing. Apparently in his world, middle school doesn’t require studying and I have loads of time on my hands. What can I say? Only one of us was blessed with the Bennett brain. He said to tell you that, and I quote, “Even though The Amanda Project is our number one priority, if we flunk Mr. Randolph’s massive WWI history unit test, TAP itself will be history.” That’s his idea of a punny joke. You see what I have to live with.

I told him I would pitch in and help if he would resolve to do one thing for me once this ordeal is over. Reluctantly, he agreed, and you are now looking at a girl whose brother has promised not to call her “squirt” for an entire year. THAT’s how important The Amanda Project is to my dear older sibling.

Peace out.

Pssst… don’t tell Hal, but I would have done this for free.

Could you resolve to do something—or NOT do something—if you had to? What would it be?

I’ve resolved to think before saying (or writing!) I would be a better friend and person if I wasn’t so outgoing in my thoughts, because some of them hurt someone, even though I thought they wouldn’t care. Hey, it’s the New Year, ja? I can keep this up!

I don’t have a NYR (New Year’s Resolution). But I want to do WAY better at school because I want o be a doctor. So I guess that’s kind of my NYR.

Ugh, it just seems like resolutions are a deal with the devil. You make them because you’re forced to, mostly. No offense Cornelia, you kinda forced your brother into promising he’ll never call you a squirt for the rest of year. Can’t blame you though.

Anyway, I have resolved to join an academic club because my parents said that I can only continue dancing and running if I join… something like the math team or chess club. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t mind… but it’s not an activity I feel comfortable about.

To resolve something depends on how much one wants it to be resolved. If you care very much to clear up the situation, then it shall be done, one way or another. If you don’t mind what’s happening, then it will probably never change.

Something I might want to resolve is being such a procrastinator. I eventually get work done in time, and still get good grades, but the stress is really starting to get to me at times, so maybe this should be fixed.

I am also making a New Year’s resolution about tennis. I want to win the state championships within the next few years! I have also made a resolution to spend more time on TAP, since we really need to find Amanda!

My resolution is to do the best that I can at anything, no matter what. Even if everything goes wrong.

I agree with XxMPbabeMPxX. I need to try to not be such a procrastinator. And I definitely need to try and keep my room clean… and be a better friend.

I need to learn to get my work done on time. And stop beating up my little brother.
teenage.poet 01.08.2010

My resolution is to be more confident and patient with myself, and with my writting abilities. I also need to stop delaying things, and slowing down the process of my future. I need to get out there and show my abilities to the world, so that I can one day make a name for myself.
Jazzy0x 01.08.2010

hey teenage.poet my resolution is kinda the same as yours, to volunteer more in clasee and be more confident and patient and also be more determined to get things done. I put things off alot and the end up doning them rushed.
Gemstar 01.08.2010
