Goals for 2008

[autumnluv143]

They're not resolutions. They're goals. If I don't reach these goals, I won't be heartbroken for most of them, but I would dearly like to see them happen. 

I would love to read 26 books this year. A to Z titles or authors (More suggestions would be great). That doesn't sound like much considering I'm somewhat of a speed reader, but between working and school, that one will be difficult enough. And no, reading school books doesn't count. 

I would very much like to see myself reach the weight I have set up in my own mind. If I can get over my psychological issues about perfect people younger than me, I have a free membership at the UNO gym that I can use. Really need to work on emotional issues to get there. In the meantime, eating right and vitamins is step #1.

Straight A's. No stipulations. That's it. This is less a goal and more an expectation. 1 B per semester is all I will tolerate from here on out. That means I will be very wrapped up in studying and making very sure that I get all A's. I have to get rid of 2 C's on my transcript as it is and that's just unacceptable. One was a mistake when they transferred my credits and the other one is because of a stupid little canadian cunt. 'Nuff said.

I have set myself with the goal of being nicer to my mother. This is a daily battle. She does senile and mindless things and then gets upset and gets her feelings hurt when I speak to her like she's a burdensome old senile woman that won't listen to reason. I love her very much and am determined to not sound like Satan everytime I speak to her. This may be the harder of my goals.

Make a decision regarding my job. There are days when I really like it and just can't find reason in leaving a job that is already kind of in my field. Then again, there are days where I just don't see a point in going in at all. I'm going to try and make more days like the previous. I got my evaluation on Friday and it had quite a few Meets and Exceeds Expectations. There was only one Below and I just wasn't surprised. It was attendance. Even that, the manager had written a note stating why he believed I had been absent as much as I was and he was ok because of.... blah blah blah. They're never going to fire me, but I hate that lack of respect for the job and business that's causing me to be so damned apathetic towards it. But Christ on a cracker, I need the money and need to get off my keister and make it in. That's part of the reason I scheduled my classes the way I did. I KNOW I'll get up in time for class. I have classes M/W/F 8-850am and go to work after that and Tuesdays I'm done after 1pm. So the only day I won't be able to work due to labs and stuff is on Thursday. Already being up/about/in New Orleans should help me actually make it this far in to work....  At least we hope.

This one is work related as well. My goal is to spend less time at work doing stuff like this and more time actually working. And be more organized while I'm doing it. 

Ok, I think that's enough. Back to work
