With so many goals and so little time, you need a game plan. I need a game plan. I'm currently managing alot of things right now. I'm a full time student at my University, majoring in Biology, 3rd year. I'm currently taking Genetics, Ecology, Biomedical Ethics and Developmental Psycholinguistics. My grade's aren;t as stellar as I would like them to be (B to A- right now), but alot of that it likely due to the fact that it's my first year out of the house, in another city, more or less on my own. I live with my best friend from my old University, so I've got got built in hermit-protection...

Ok, so, game plan. Out of those 100 goals, there are a select few which can be worked on all the time, continually, no matter what the rest of my life is like. There are also some goals which I am working on by default. For example, striving to get As is something I'm working on all the time. As is becoming a doctor. That's the big goal right now, the forefront long term goal. All the reading goals (read the dictionary, read the encyclopaedia, read 500 books, be familiar with the works of blah blah blah, etc) can be worked on continually, and are worked on continually, because I've always got a book. And if blogs counted, I'd be a quarter of the way there, but I've made them not count on purpose. They're not as "finishable" as books. I don't get to cross them off a list. And this is all about lists, after all. Publish at least 5 essays... that one's a doozy. It's a time thing is what I'm finding here. I look at this and a part of me wants to start doing everything all at once. But aside from the one's I'm always working on (reading, music, etc), I think I need to pick one. Just one, MAYBE 2, and attack that/those. Otherwise I think this list is going to gobble me up.

And I intend to gobble it. :)

So I think the As are what it will be. That's what I'm craving. Big, fat As at the end of the semester. There's my first short term goal to tackle. Time to 'release the hounds'
