(no subject)
So, I posted back in July my goals for my senior year in college.. Let's see the progress I've made.. (hah)
1) Go camping at least 5 times
Yosemite, July 13-15, 2007
Ocean Cove, August 2007
Retreat, April 25-27, 2008
I'm hoping to go camping a lot this summer!
2) Visit Ithaca, New York
Don't think that'll be happening. :(
3) Leave Rochester once a month
I left in October, November, December, and February. Not too bad. I'll be leaving town in April and May.
4) Read a non-school book once a month
July- I forgot the name
August- Harry Potter
That definitely didn't happen, except for November I did read a book.
5) Go on a real spring break
Well, I spent finals week and the beginning of spring break in Ohio and Pennsylvania doing graduate school interviews, then the rest in Rochester. But I'm glad I did that. I got to see a little bit more of Rochester.
6) Score 500 on the Verbal section and 600 on Math section for GRE
Nowhere close to those scores.
7) Apply to four Graduate Programs
I applied to 6 and will be going to Bowling Green State University in the fall!
8) Visit Cedar Point, Ohio
Well, Bowling Green is less than an hour away from Cedar Point, so I hope to do that next year!
9) Try to get my first 4.0 GPA EVER
That goal totally fell through the crack.
10) Go through Circle Degree
SOON!!!
11) On my 21st birthday, keep a "signature record" after every shot, to see how sloppy my writing gets
I didn't keep a signature record, but I did have 21 drinks on my birthday and then 17 drinks on my "birthday" party. I kept tally marks on my arm :)
12) Take pictures at least 2 times a month-events, dinners, gatherings, parties
My camera broke, but before that I was semi-good at taking pictures.
13) Cook dinners
Nope, that failed. But I've been making sandwiches, eating rice...... I made this yummilicious pumpkin soup for thanksgiving!
14) Make my little sister something
I know I made Kelly a lot of stuff, but not Maura; I gave Maura her nickname though! I'll make my entire family something.
15) Talk to Grandma once a month
Eh, I emailed her for her birthday and a few times. She's not very good at responding back.
16) Lose enough weight to be back at "pre-college" weight
Hahahahaha. No where near that.
17) Register to vote
Jeez, I keep forgetting to do that.
18) Go to the Seneca Zoo or Buffalo Zoo
Hmm, I could do that before I leave.
19) Graduate with NO debt-including credit card
I keep paying off my credit card, but then adding more to it. Damnit.
20) Go to Philadelphia
Definitely not happening.
21) Buy a Polaroid camera
Those are too expensive; I should steal Stephs! lol
22) Make my pledge class a gift (I started the gift last winter and never finished it haha)
I still haven't finished it. hah.
23) Go through the entire 500 GRE vocabulary flash cards
I only got through letter A-C hah.
24) Save up $3000 by the time I graduate
With my grad school interview trips, turning 21, my car breaking down.. I didn't get to save any money :( But, I'm going to Grad school for free and will be making money... so hopefully I'll save some next year.
25) Go on a date
Actually this Friday I'm going on a "date" hah.
26) Do cardio exercises 3x a week, eventually rollerblade to Becca's house.
Uhm. what was I thinking when I made this goal?
27) Become familiar with Rochester's freeways-The innerloop and whatnots
I'm getting a little bit better at that.
28) Go bar-hopping on Alexander St.
I DID!!! March 28, 2008 thank you Becca and Amy!!
29) Visit Boston, Mass., and maybe see Mike M.
I was SO close to visiting Boston for St. Patricks but then my car broke down! Damnit.
Well, I may have not achieved a lot of my goals but I did a lot this year though. My lowest GPA was 3.2 which is quite impressive with all the things I'm involved with, the time spent in meetings, the amount of alcohol I've drank this year thus far. Here's to my last 7 weeks in Undergrad!
