Goals

I have some goals, like lifetime goals, swimming goals, school goals, and personal goals. But most of them are long term. Like one
is to own a successful resort in a warm place. A swimming goal is to go sub five minutes in my 500.

But I have a new goal. Its more short term and probably much more important. I want to be more nice to my sister. I never had trouble getting along with Gabe (its a twin thing) sure we had our rough patches but we were always able to understand each other because we are going through a lot of the same things. But my sister she is different. I don't know what it is but we can never really see eye to eye. Partly pride on my part and partly teenage stubbornness on her part. So we are both at fault. I always rationalized that arguing and not getting along with your siblings is normal. But is it? I mean shouldn't I be nicer to my family then I am to friends or even strangers? Well thats not how I am. I wish thats how I was. Another of my excuses (an excuse I use to feel less guilty) is that once I grow up and she grows up we will magically get along and we will have the best relationship ever.

I hate to break it to you guys but that doesn't happen and I have realized this. So my goal is to go a day without arguing with her and without saying a snide word.

Now it doesn't count if I don't see her or don't have a conversation with her because whats the point of that? I am going to be the bigger person as of today

Prom

I meant to write this a couple days after prom but I forgot. Or merely didn't have the motivation to write it. Anyway I went to prom it was fun.
Two things that particularly I noticed.
1.) Dancing is just not my thing, Of course I already new this but it became very obvious to me as I began to try and dance in the massively large dress that I picked out. At least at homecoming you have a short dress which doesn't inhibit movement. Anyway its fine as long as you dance with your friends because they don't care.
2.) As I was dancing poorly, it was funny I was swaying listening to the music when all the sudden, a girl (who will go nameless for her benefit and mine) started having a conversation with another girl, which is okay most of the time but she was talking about COLLEGE. Who talks about college at prom? Seriously that was the last thing on my mind at that exact time. I can't figure out why she would do something like that. No offense to her or anything but really when your dancing you don't talk much and if you do want to talk take it off the dance floor. I think this pretty well know social etiquette. Maybe I am wrong who knows but that bothered me.

Anyway Prom was fun, my date was nice, and nothing horrific happened which is good.
