Hello everyone!

I've set some goals for myself for the winter holiday. I hope I can meet them all. I find that it helps to let people know what you plan to do. That way they kind of keep tabs on you about it. 'Thought it might be fun to start a thread so that anyone with a short-term goal can write it here and keep us posted!

Here are mine:

-Read 1-3 new books before school starts again (have ideas about what I want to read, but we'll see...)

-Walk at least 20 minutes EVERY DAY.

-Write 10 or more chapters of any of the 3 books I'm working on... 10 chapters, period.... meaning I could do 3 here, 4 there, etc...

-Have a real heart-to-heart with my sister. We used to be a lot closer, and I want to use this time to reconnect.

-OOH and also schedule the Praxis II!

I have about 1 month to do all this. I'm not great about sticking to a schedule, but lately, as I feel my nice, long breaks slipping away, I get more frantic about using time wisely.

What about you guys? What do you hope to accomplish in the near future?

You can do it! You've already written it down here, so now break it down into manageable steps and get started right away!

Go schedule a time with your sister!

Write a paragraph of each of the books, and whichever one draws you in right away, go with it!

Make a list of those books you want to read, and start at the top (or with the most available) !

Look at when the Praxis II is available, and plan your schedule accordingly!

DID YOU WALK TODAY? EDIT: YAY FOR WALKING TODAY!!!

(I promise I will list my short term goals shortly, after I straighten them out in my head)

You know what? I don't know. I'll be done my class shortly, and waiting to go on practicum. I might use this free time to accomplish nothing at all and just relax for a change of pace.

So instead I will cheer all y'all on. Go win and succeed and ...unfail! Huzzah!

I am not known for ability to cheer well.

I want to get a ton of work done in the lab to make up for this past semester. Also, get more organized in the lab (work wise).

I want to NOT eat out at all for the rest of the month.

That's pretty much it.

I want to land a stable job so I can enter the new year and start building something rather then just hopping from job to job, place to place.

For the rest it's the usual stuff I always try, but eventually just return to my routine.

- Eat healthier.
- Work out more.
- Go out more.

-Get a xmas tree
-Register for a sub for next Friday

:thumbsup: 50 minutes of walking/ellipticalling today, 20 on campus and 30 at home. Now I'm about to do lunges. I started The Great Gatsby today, another one of my "always meant to" books. I'm so excited. It's great so far. I also completed a chapter this week after finishing my last exam!

How about everyone else?

:D Go for it!

What kinds of things do you and your son like to do? Is he a really little'un?

He's about 2 and a half now.

Tonight we went out to McDonalds together because he wanted to order at the window, then we made chocolate pretzels with sprinkles, and then we played mini basketball for a while. And now it'll be a chore to get him to bed.
