What is goin' onnn??
I have a bit of an ambivalent feeling towards goal-setting. On the one hand, I do it every day: making lists of stuff I want to accomplish. And few things beat that feeling of accomplishment and success of checking off a task/goal on a "To Do" list. However, when someone asks me to put my long-term goals in words, I sort of shrivel up. It's just that so many things will change by the time I reach that "long-term" and although I love planning everything in the present and near future, I can't handle the idea of having my whole life planned out. Pretty much, I'm just weird.
But here are some of my goals for the next few months-ish:
Get a job - I recently applied for a part time job at my local Indigo book store, and I'm really hoping to get the job. Otherwise, I'll be applying elsewhere until I do get one, because university is coming up soon and I want to start saving up my own money.
Apply for (and hopefully win) Scholarships - again, because of post-secondary education costs, I need money. And if I can win a few scholarships, it'll really help out. Plus, I recently spent like 10 hours organizing all of the scholarships I hope to apply for and their deadlines and all of that jazz.
Get an A+ Average - This term, I'm trying to bump up my grades from A/A- to A+.....we'll see how that goes...
Start Making Sketch Videos - my best friend and I have been wanting to create a whole bunch of sketch videos and post 'em up on YouTube, but we haven't taken the time to actually do it. Well, I wanna change that.
Get fit - I'm actually really out of shape. Basketball season has helped a bit, but I'm still unfit and have a bit of an unhealthy lifestyle (too many chocolatey snack obsessions) so this is a really big goal for moi.
General Stuff - Read more, reread the HP series, stop being so obsessed with Minesweeper (the Microsoft game. Lol, check this parody out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHY8NKj3RKs ). I also wanna meet more people, hang out with different crowds, and really get to know my grad class. And...OMG I ALMOST BUT NOT REALLY FORGOT!
This weekend, I'm going to a Model United Nations Conference - Well, not just going actually, I'm the Assistant Director of the United Nations Environment Program committee!! I'm SUPER excited and can't wait (even though it involves waking up at 5:50am tomorrow). It's gonna be such a fun conference and I just can't wait - GRAHHH!!! Anyways, my goal is to make new friends there, facilitate meaningful discussion about environmental issues, and maybe even have one of my school's members win an award because that would be awesome (but of course is up to them to participate lots and be cool :P )
Anyways, Imma stop now because I really need to finish packing and prepping, so I'll talk to you next Thursday. And Bridget, I'll read ya tomorrow.
