GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL!!! (Life goals that is)

[maj]

after 4 months i finally forced myself to go and get my mac dry cleaned before uni, when i got there i'm told it's £15 and it's not actually dry-cleanable so she'll put it in the machine. i feel there is a life lesson in there somewhere.

goal for the rest of the year: do not drink alcohol in order to get drunk. meaning I can tipple a bit, but not get drunk. gonna review this policy in 2015. I guess I'm allowed to drink again on NYE, if I feel like it. marinara is still okay, of course

This quarter is finally over. I fell off the 'take care of yourself' wagon like three months ago and am coming back next quarter as a part-time student so i have a lot more time to focus on personal well-being.

Specific goals for the next three months:
Work out at least 4 times a week
Cook for myself daily and generally eat a healthy amount of food
Write my BA thesis paper
Stop smoking
Stop using drugs that my doctor doesn't prescribe
Get a job that I find fulfilling
Sew a lot more and work on designing my own patterns
Keep a clean apartment
Figure out something (even just provisionally) that I want to do after graduation
Go to church (at least a few times)

I must admit that I buried the no-alcohol goal a while ago because of unforeseen circumstances. I ask for forgiveness and understanding, thanks all

How is that possible

Trick yourself by putting popcorn in the microwave before you have a shower, you'll have to get out when it beeps

Have been thinking a lot about sustainability lately. In my future line of work (chemical engineering), nothing is worse than something wasted. Gonna make a conscious effort to use as little plastic as possible from now on.

I feel an adult, i dont do adult things, i want to fix that.

short term
- go to college
- organize my room a bit more
- record an album by end of summer
long term
- manager at Target (actually working towards this right now)
story: my current manager pulled me aside and told me i'm the only employee left from 2013's seasonal hiring and how far i've gone and how much i've learned. I told him how i'll be going to college for business management which is perfect for becoming a manager considering Target will actually pay for some of my tuition if i become part of the program. Another good thing is if i be part of this program (and get at least an associate's) I can use this anywhere else, not just target. Very excited!

- fluency in french

-run a 5k in ~35 min
