Do Now 1/2/14

Last year was a good year. I achieved the goals I set for myself. I lost more weight last year which made me really happy. This year I plan on losing more and eating healthier. I also want to exercise more, like run more because I don't run much, I just do at home workouts. This year I also plan on getting a job. I used to babysit, but this year I want to do it again, or get a better job. Hopefully this year goes as well as last year did.

I don't really like using twitter, so I wouldn't really want to use it for school.  I find twitter to be confusing sometimes because I don't use it every day.  I rarely go on it, maybe like once a month. I wouldn't like using it for school.
