Goals for the next year
Apr. 4th, 2007 12:59 amYeah, it's April. So?
Goals for the next twelve months.
1. Actually get all the recommended repairs done to my poor innocent car. (Ouch, estimate runs just over a thousand dollars for parts & labor. But should leave it in pretty good shape.)
2. Get the credit card paid down significantly.
3. Buy a guitar and learn to play it. I've been thinking about this one for a while. I'm leaning towards acoustic. (I also want to learn the keyboard too) I'm going to set aside a little cash at a time for that. Maybe use that as an encouragement to snack less, by deciding to take what would have gone in the snack machine and putting it in the guitar money jar.
4. Have at least ten more credit hours taken. That's under a credit hour a month. If I can't beat this goal I'm not doing well.
5. Still find the time to read.
6. Actually put together more than a place-holder web page.
7. Buy new glasses. Yeesh, these are starting to get a little... odd. Replaced the nose pads twice and both are held on with screws that aren't really meant for the job.
8. Connected to #3, learn to read music properly. I sort of learned it back in high school when I was in choral class, but that was *mumble* years ago and I've let the skills there get rusty.
9. At some point when I'm not using this laptop for a class in progress, do some modest upgrades and set it to dual boot XP and Linux.
10. Clean and organize. Really honestly clean and organize. Get rid of some of the stuff I haven't touched in years and maybe see the floor again.
11. Run through my Spanish CDs.
12. Draw some more. With permission to have it look like junk as long as I actually do it.
13. Write. Similarly I grant myself permission to count this goal achieved even if what I write is horrid trash.
14. Exercise more. Keep walking places even as summer falls upon us.
