Jumping on the Resolution Train

…Pardon the pause in the current series….

In college, I mentored quite a few incoming freshmen.  One of the exercises I had them do (mostly to see if they were capable of following instructions).  They had to set four goals in four different areas: social, physical, academic, and professional.  I suppose it’s time to practice what I preach, though my goals here will avoid major spoilers for the content of the blog.

Social

1. Keep my place(s) clean enough for company. 
2. Find time for friends in Logan and elsewhere an average of once a week excluding regular meetings.  (8 events a month).
3. Try out some double dates with couples friends.  (Sundance anyone?)
4. Foster relationships with my roomies. 

Physical

1. Hit the gym four times a week for an hour each time. 
2. Feel better about myself so I can better enjoy time with chedner, working towards goal weight of 165. 
3. Get back my running stamina from six months ago by March.
4. Vegetables and whole grains every day. 

Academic

1. Finish the “correspondence” project.
2. Finish paper on Pushing Daisies and Big Love.
3. Submit one more paper presentation.
4. Get accepted to at least one PhD program or prepare new game plan. 

Professional/Writing (because that’s what I hope to be)

1. Finish “museum” piece and update minutes. 
2. Finish IGB video and volunteer on Pride committee again.
3. Complete a series a month with significant posts (500+ words) Mon., Weds., and Fridays.  Reply to comments within a business day.
4. Look into getting a literary agent. 

Back to the series in progress soon….
