Is there anything you'd like to accomplish in a year's time?

I find that writing it down and declaring it in a public forum can help motivate you towards an accomplishment.


I'd like to expand my circle of what I do each day which I think would help me shake out of the doldrums that I've felt I've been in for a while.
I'd like to explore a new career path to determine its viability and cost.
I'd like to pick up a new hobby or learn a new language.

I could list more, but I think it's better to keep it to a manageable and limited level if you're going to have a chance for success.

I'd like to graduate from college, which I am on the track to do.

I also hope to be able to buy an engagement ring and propose to my girlfriend within a year's time.

I want to become good at composing electronic music and using synthesizers.

I want to bring up my GPA, even though it's already good.

I also want to get to the point of being semi-organized.

I started a German Language Program. I want to finish it.

I'd like to have more money

My goal for the next year is also to graduate from university. I am due to graduate in May 2012 (a semester early thanks to all the classes I took this summer!!) with a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies and International Development Studies. Goal #2 is to be accepted into grad school for a Master's in Environmental Studies.

Amen to both

I also plan on fully learning Ableton Live, how to utilize all the instruments, and start on a progressive trance / house track by years end. I've also started a 5-level course on Rosetta Stone for Spanish(Spain) which I hope to have gone through twice by years end.



My other goals are to visit 3 major cities(or at least 2) in the country and visit their amazing food mecca's, but I am on a budget so I'll probably stay to cheapeats (under $40 per food place). I've already visited all that I care to visit in Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco (there are a lot of places I have yet to visit but they are too pricey like 80+ for a #course meal per person so no) so I'm thinking it'll be LA, Boise, and somewhere in Alaska. I'll probably do this with my brother or a friend.

I'd like to be done with high school and have at least a few college courses completed by next year.

I'd like to remain employed full time and have a good first semester when I return to school in January. I'd also like to be living in my very own apartment by the end of this year.

I'd like to finish my master's paper and get my master's degree.
I'd like to get a driving license.

In one year, I want to be coding full time and completely out of debt.

To lose at least 50 lbs, so that I can really look like the young Mick Avory again like I did when I was 21. Just because I take pride in my appearance doesn't mean that I need to reevaluate myself.

To still be on this forum so I can post here saying what I DID achieve in that year!

I would like to have a real-life bona fide friend.

Get a job, or at least go out and do something meaningful.
Anything to increase my chances of getting to the US.
Make more friends.
