May Goals

It kind of looks like I mistyped that, and meant to write "My Goals". Nope! I mean for the month of May!!!

Since I have already determined that I am not using my time in the proper manner, I need to develop some new ways to spend my time. They need to be feasible yet force me to change.

For example:

*In the month of May, I want to read 2 books.
*I want to start jogging.
*Find an apartment.
*Do at least 1 social thing per week.
*Do at least 1 art project
*Eat on campus no more than once per week.
*Visit Laura in Spokane
*Bring bike back up to B'ham, bike to work every day

This only suggests a bit of change in the evenings -- it will force me to try and make plans with at least one friend a week, it will encourage me to read books instead of watch movies, and maybe even make me do something artsy. Though I walk approximately an hour a day, I do nothing else besides sit. I think that I need to start jogging regularly, and I think that I should bike to work instead of walk (it will be MUCH quicker).

Some of these goals will be harder than other, and maybe listing so many at once will make it hard to fulfill them all. But I will try. If it works out well, I will do the same thing for June. Maybe by then I'll be a better person!

It is kind of sad that suck a basic, easy list seems nearly impossible!

Though this has little to do with this post, some long term goals are:
--Volunteer at church, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the Humane Society and/or an elementary school.
--Be BUSY - you LOVE to be busy
--Go to Edmonds no more than once per month, enabling you to go to church and meet people there at least 3 times a month (clearly this is after August 13th)
--DECORATE my new place all awesome sauce! I can't describe how excited I am for this!
--Not be a hermit

Those are really really big picture goals right now, but you know how amazing it would be if I could do all of that in as little as 4 months?!!?! That would be amazing!

Do I think too long term? I realized that I stop myself from doing some things now because I think that they won't be feasible in a few months. Is that just me making excuses? Will I never actually volunteer or make friends because there is always going to be a reason why that doesn't make sense quite yet? Or am I right here? I am going to have 2 months wherein I am at work from 8am to 7pm and I will have no time for anything other than eating and sleeping... Can I ever actually do something instead of just think about it?!!?!?!?! Ugh! Now I'm frustrated and its 1am so I need to go to bed!
