As promised, my goals for the 2008 yo.
Okey dokey, so, these have been tossing about in my head for the last two days or so and I feel like I can't really finalize them until I actually have them typed up/written down somewhere. Since livejournal is as good a place as any, I figured hey-ho why not? Without further ado and in no particular order:
- Chizzile out more. I've made progress on this since last year and I am not nearly as tightly wound as I used to be, but I still get way too worked up sometimes about things that really don't need/deserve my attention at all. As I really would like to go through life without an ulcer or a stress-induced stroke, I figure this is a good thing to get all sorted out now.
- Keep them grades up. Scholarships= good, failing= bad. I'm doing great with this right now, but I know me. All it takes is one bad quarter to throw me off forever, which bites.
- Understand that I am not living two seperate lives in Spokane and Bellingham, but one life. I don't need to feel split all the time because I'm one person regardless of how many different places I live in at one time.
- Write write write more. I've got lots of ideas all floating around in my mind and I know if I just stick to it I can write something good and finish it, I just need to start.
- Do things instead of pushing them off all the time. Instead of sitting around on the inter-web all day, I want to do things like bake and write and study and read and take photos and sew and junk. There are so mayn better things to do with my time than sit around on facebook alllll day.
- Train for a half-marathon. Even if I walk most of it, I want to do one because I've never done something like that before and I think it'd be cool.
- Travel somewhere of my chosing (which also means saving up enough money for the trip).
- Be open to new ideas/changing myself when it's obvious the ways I'm trying to get through problems aren't working out. I get way too stuck in one way of solving things sometimes.
- In conjunction with my writing goal, I want to finish a story. I've never ever finished one that wasn't due for a class or something and it's honestly about time I do. So there. : )
- Stop picking peoples brains (or thinking that I can). I am obviously not psychic and need to stop acting like I am.
- Learn how to do something new. Like snowboard or salsa dance or something.
- Journal more. It'll be such a bummer when I'm all old an can't remember all the fun crap I've done.
- Daily puzzles, maybe? I love 'em and god knows my brain does not get much out of my classes right now, so that would be cool.
Anywho, like I said, they aren't really resolutions, just goals. I don't like resolutions because I drop them roughly two minutes after I set them, so I'm hoping goals will actually encourage me to do new stuff. Anyway, happy new years all! I'll keep ya posted on my progress.
