My Goals...Long and Short...

They say to always write goals, a to-do list, something to ensure you are in the right direction.
Maybe they were right...

I have definitely learned that this year. To show you my progress, I will show you what I have written:

Short Term Goals:
  1. Use your Sunday of every week to set up a WEEKLY to-do list.
  2. Effectively maintain a calendar (paper), but ensure to keep the same updated calendar on your phone.
  3. Be involved...just not as much: 
    1. Use a percentage-based allotment of your time. 
      1. (70% academics / 30% organizational involvement)
      2. (Of the organization involvement, split the organization into percentages, too)
  4. Have fun. Find a hobby that doesn't require the use of Facebook, etc.
    1. Blogging sounds like the best option
    2. and Tennis...if I can find someone to compete against me...
Long Term Goals (Goals until Graduation Day)
  1. Earn my Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering Technology with a specialization in Transportation
  2. Acquire a certificate in Land Surveying (or continue to acquire a minor in Land Surveying)
  3. Acquire a certificate in Global Information Systems
  4. No more Summer classes...need to take a break during the summer to ensure that I do not reach exhaustion again.
Willing to postpone graduation* one more year to ensure the accomplishment of the above goals.
I had started enrollment at Southern Polytechnic State University at the beginning of Fall 2009. The sad thing is that I still remember first move in like it was yesterday.

*Expected Graduation at four years: Spring 2013
