My Senior Year Goals-Revisited
1. Make Senior Year Better Than Junior Year-This one actually is probably going to be pretty easy since my junior year social and emotional life was probably the worst in my life, but yeah, I cant take another one like that.
Yeah, I was right, this one was pretty easy. I'm pretty sure it could not have gottena any worse as I have discussed recently with both Garson and Michelle. Senior year was a blast. Forensics, social life, etc were all great, so
Goal #1: Accomplished
2. Get Into William and Mary- Anyone who has talked to me in the last 4 or 5 months knows how obsessed I am with getting into that school and how paranoid I am that I won't get in. If/When I get that acceptance letter back from that school I will finally calm down.
I got in, December 1, 2005...probably one of the better days of my life. I cried when I got the letter and I was greated and congratulated by everyone important to me when I walked into forensics about 10 minutes later. I am so excited about going. I've worn the hoodie 2-3 days a week as anyone who knows me already knows. so
Goal #2 Accomplished
3. Make Prom Amazing-Prom has always been this picture perfect movie scene image in my mind since I've been a little kid. I just really want to look good, feel good, and have a good time this year. I know there will probably be confusion involved, but I just want it all to be perfect once the time comes.
Well, it wasn't perfect, but I did have a good time. Prom itself was so much better than I expected. I never really dance much, and I actually was in the mood the whole night. Josh was fun, so were everyone else I was with. After prom was a bit of a disapointment, but I got to see another broadway show, so it all worked out ok.
Goal #3 90% Accomplished
4. Break First in Forensics- After three years and god knows how many hours with this club, I have breaks to show for it, but no first place trophy. I'd really like to get a first place by the end of my senior year. It would just give me a lot of confidence and pride in what I dedicated my life to the past 3 years.
I got my first and only 1st place at ALJ 2 with Garson in PF. It was actually a lot of fun because the final round was against Locke and Katie. Team Intensity > Team Congeniality.
Goal # 4 Accomplished
5. Become Content with My Love Life- Notice that I didn't say find love. I've basically come to the conclusion that being as this is my senior year, I'm leaving in a year, its not very likely or wise that I would get myself into a serious relationship that is pretty clearly only going to be temporary. Well, that's wonderful that I've concluded all that, but I'm still not happy with my conclusion. Basically, I just want to be able to accept and enjoy being single instead of just dying to go to college and start a relationship.
Heh...that's always an interesting one. I've been pretty happy all year, but I have had my share of crushes despite the fact that I know they would never work out and that I am leaving for college soon. I am much happier with my love life than when I wrote my goals in the summer, so I guess that makes things a little better, but I would still like someone significant in my life again.
Goal # 5 50% Accomplished
6. Good AP Scores- I have 5 AP classes this year, and while I know it is useless for me to even take the spanish AP test, I would really like to get 4s and 5s on my other tests. I think its possible, and it would make things a lot easier on me once I get to college, so that would be a really nice thing.
Well...while I took 5 AP classes I only wound up taking 2 tests. I'm pretty sure that I will get the 4s or 5s I need for credit though and I have no regrets about not taking calc, bio, or spanish because I don't even need them to get out of my GERs so its all good.
Goal # 6 Accomplished
7. Complete Some Major Community Service Project- Lately I've been thinking about what I want to do with my life and as some of you may know, the only real passion I have that I can see myself wanting to persue to having children and a family. I've recently realized that I really love organizing events and making people, especially kids happy. One of the things I'd like to do is organize at least one large event that either is for kids or other people in need or to raise money for some sort of fund. I think if I'm able to do that, it would give the some sort of idea if that is also something I can see myself doing for the rest of my life.
Yeah, I'm a selfish bitch. I did nothing for anyone. I figure I'll wait until im out of college and I have money and I'll do a lot of sponsoring then.
Goal # 7 Failure
8. Lose Weight- Yes, I have said that year after year, and generally I do lose the weight, but then I gain it back. I have a goal to lose enough weight that I'm happy with the way I look by prom. I really don't know how much that is since I really dont know what I look like at various weights, but I want to feel comfortable with myself.
Yeah, I lost 5 pounds one week...but I gained 4 of those back. So I lost like 1 pound all year, not exactly a success, but I do wanna lose weight over the summer before college and hopefully camp and work at the mall will keep me so busy that I can do that.
Goal # 8 Failure but work in progress
So that's that....fairly successful I guess
