Summer Goals

Time: 6:34pm
Mood: Gloomy (like the weather..)
Song of the moment: Weezer - Beverly Hills (thanx Sean for getting me hooked! hah)

I went for a jog the other day and I realized that I am, for most part, a very goal-oriented person. Like for instance, I never usually jog the entire distance of what I intend to jog. But that day, I told myself it was something that I really want, and I ended up pushing myself right to the very end. It's been like this for several things: getting the geography award in grade 8, getting into Waterloo, participating in an exchange program, getting into grad school.. things that I really wanted. So I figure, if I want to get stuff done, I need to set some goals for myself. So here's a list of things I hope to achieve during this summer:

1) Finish my thesis - I must admit.. a hard task to overcome. I'm finding it hard to keep motivated. Part of me looks at my data and just wants to quit.. the other parts saying "geez you've gone this far into your studies, you might as well finish!".

2) Exercise - I have a gym membership, in fact I've had one all year, but I've been a total of 3 times since I signed up this academic year. So my goal is not necessarily go to the gym more often, but to incorporate exercise into my life at least 3 times a week. This includes walking to school, jogging and of course, the gym. Oh and there's dragonboat too.. that counts.. :D

3) Fab Abs - At first I was thinking Janet Jackson abs, but I think that's probably an unattainable goal. So I'm going to keep it semi-reasonable and say Gwen Stefani abs.

4) Try new things - I'm going to try (at least once a week) to try something new, whether it's trying out a new cookie I havn't tried or buying a colour I wouldn't normally wear, just something I've never done before. This is to keep life interesting :)

Will I be able to achieve these goals? Stayed tuned and find out :D
