Semester Goals

Back on campus, back in class, back to band.  So far I am LOVING it. On Thursdays, my only class is band... at 3:30 p.m.  So I have all day to kill.  My roommate told me to enjoy my 'lazy' day.  I was like, "Who said anything about being lazy?!?!"  I like to look at it as a get-homework-and-laundry-done-and-cook-and-maybe-catch-up-on-sleep-and-blogging day.  For real, I have hours and hours of time to be productive.  I finished my Russian homework (and I'm procrastinating on my Principles of Dynamics homework by blogging).  I crossed off a lot of things on my list, but I keep thinking of more to add.  It's good though: I'd rather stay busy.  I manage my time so much better and focus more when I have multiple things on my plate.  

This semester I have a few goals:

-Finish every homework assignment

    This isn't really anything new for me.  I think it's just a more specific goal than stay on top of my homework.

-Cook at least 4 times a week

    This actually does not seem like very much to me, but I have classes most days (so lunch with be packed).  I'm trying to avoid eating out all the time, and I really do need to learn how to cook.  Today I made these for lunch: http://www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com/2012/01/pepperoni-cheese-stick-roll-ups.html.  Easy, delicious, and now I have leftovers for dinner.

-Run at least once a week.

    Again, this seems like not very much, but with marching band, Ultimate Frisbee practices, and rock-climbing (in addition to walking/biking around campus), I think I'll stay in shape. 

-Regularly wash my sheets and towels.

     I am terrible about doing this in Houston.  I need to change. 

-Keep things in perspective.  

    I know this is vague and intangible.  But I need to remember that it is just school.  I don't have to get straight A's. My Russian class is pass/fail... so I need to remember that Russian is not a priority over Rocket Propulsion.

-Get clarinet t-shirts

    Apparently this didn't happen last year.  How sad...

If I think of more, I'll post them here.  Time to enjoy my senior year and kick ass.
