Goals 2024
A reminder on my phone went off, signaling it's time to check my goals. Surprisingly, I didn't set any goals this year. I'll use the list from my previous Christmas resolution 2023:
1. To move to another country that is stable where I can eventually get a passport, obtain residency, stay in the country, and continue to work at an excellent company there.
Well, I moved. I'm not sure about the passport yet, though there are vague prospects in about 5 years. I like the company; it would be great to stay here.
2. To start preparing for ISTQB and take the exam.
My boss is motivating me to start preparing and take the exam.
3. To start preparing for CAE and take it at the end of the year.
This is hard. I’ve resumed some form of English classes, but that is not enough. I need real lessons, not just conversation clubs with Claire.
4. To continue with Spanish classes, achieving A2 level by the end of the year.
I switched Spanish to Greek, but I’m not sure if I’ll even reach a strong A1.2 by the end of the year.
5. To achieve something in Georgian (?).
I dropped Georgian last year. I’m actually thinking of revising Polish since I have a Polish person to practice with.
6. To get in touch with my relatives.
This is the hardest because they are going through tough times right now.
7. To return to sports.
I'm trying. I started attending group sessions, though laziness often gets the better of me.
8. To read more science (articles, books).
This is not going well at all, just reminded me.
9. To grow from an AQA to a Developer.
This one is also not progressing.
10. To start creating a quadcopter.
This goal has been completely forgotten.
