Summer.
Goals for summer:
Be able to run 5-6 miles at a time.
Put together a 10-15 page sample of writing (for grad school applications in winter).
Organize closet (to an extreme; there is way too much junk/clothes I never wear).
Plan 21st birthday party in October.
Learn how to walk in heels (and not look drunk or klutzy).
Have fun.
I think these are all attainable goals. From last summer until now I've trained myself to run an entire 5k (3.1 miles). I probably should quit the gym because I've pretty much stopped taking classes and doing anything besides run on the treadmill. It's too nice outside to be spending $27/month to use a treadmill. I need to get over my control issue of knowing how far I run/buy some type of running device to tell me how far I ran. The writing task is somewhat daunting to me, but it's what I've spent the past 3 years studying and what I want to do with my life (right?). The closet can easily be a one-two day task. My birthday is more tricky depending on money and friend's availabilty.
The heels one is vain, but I want to wear heels to work, to parties, and going out. They hurt my feet and I have always given up on this goal, but I want to look professional and classy, so here's to trying to practice wearing heels around the house for 20 minutes or so a day until it's almost second nature.
By the way, I completed my junior year of college today. A year from now I'll have a BA in English. How crazy is that?
