Kowalski.resolutions

It is almost considered a New Year’s tradition to have a resolution. If you don’t have one your considered a bum with no life or a life-less person. One of my resolutions for the year 2011 is to take shorter showers and conserve more warm water that uses electricity to make. So, basically I use two energy sources that I can conserve but choose not to for my own pleasure. It also gets on my parents nerves on how long I stay in the shower using up all the warm water that they would like to us instead of the usual cold water. One example of this happening was just yesterday when my dad came storming in through the door and telling me to get out when I just started putting on soap, which kind of caught me off hand. To make sure I do not break my resolution, I will set a timer for ten minutes maximum and if I exceed for which I consider a short amount of time, I will snap a trusty rubber band as hard as I can on my hand to make me remember. Out of all my thought up resolutions, I think this one will affect and impact my parents, the world, and me.
