goals...revisiting and revising

Here were my goals for the semester:

1. Go to shul more

I didn't do this, and I'm okay with that

2. Care more about school

I definitely didn't do this, and I'm less okay with that. I will say though that I do not think I have done poorly this semester, and that this has been my busiest semester by far.

3. Study for the LSATs

I didn't do this...

4. Keep training to run 5ks

I kept this up until Thanksgiving break...

5. Continue my pursuit of awesomeness

I generally succeeded here!

And now...here are my goals for the Spring 2010 semester:

1. Kick ass in school

For obvious reasons. Seriously. I need to attack this semester with the right attitude, of it is going to p0wn me in a very uncomfortable way.

2. Study for/take the LSATs

I am going to start studying for the LSATs over winter break, and I hope to take the February test. My incentive to do study hard is that if I do this and get a good score in February, I won't have to take it again/study more!

3. Restart running, train for more races

Without races to train for, I lost my momentum. I still want to run a half marathon in June! This means that I need to get back up to running 3-4 miles a day...maybe I won't be running 4 miles everyday anymore (that wasn't healthy anyways), but I need to rebuild my strength and endurance.

4. Eat healthier!

This will help my running and my general health. Before Thanksgiving, I was actually doing okay with this, and I felt healthier/better as a result. Therefore, logic would dictate that I should restart this. So I will. It won't be easy or fun. In fact, this might be the hardest goal.

5. Learn euphonium/baritone

I've been thinking about switching marching band instruments. I don't really feel an incentive to come to rehearsals anymore, and I think that switching instruments will change that, because I will have to relearn all of the music.

6. Continue my pursuit of awesomeness/sanity

Obviously.

7. Clean my room/do laundry once a week

This way, it won't become a huge job that I have to do at the end of the semester when I should really be studying for finals. (Except it's not even that huge of a job.)

In other news, I take my psych final at 1pm and my flight (hopefully) leaves LaGuardia at 9pm. Before my final, I have to finish studying, do my laundry, and run a few last-minute errands. After my final, I need to pack, fold my clean clothes that I'm not taking with me, and take out the garbage and some of the recycling...because there is a shit ton of it. I have time for all of this.

I'm really hoping that this winter break is fun and restful, that I get to spend lots of time with friends and family. I hope that I actually study for the LSAT and restart running. I also hope that you all finish your finals without major detriment to your health/sanity and that you accomplish everything that you want to during your winter break.

And now, I really must get back to my psych...
