2011 Year End Entry #2: 2012 Goals

This is becoming a tradition of mine at this point. Here are my goals for 2012. (Shorter than usual)

• Mend the fences with my family.
• Get a new job. (Sorry F9ers, I will be leaving when I get the oppurtunity)
• Plan to do something, small or big, every month with the family (in some varation.)
• Take a least one or two day trips somewhere. (Till I leave F9)
• Save money for big vacation in 2013.
• Goto at least two concerts.

2011 Year End Entry #1: 2011 Goals (Review)

Last December I made a list of my goals for 2011. So before I make a list for 2012, let me review how I did for the past 12 months.

• Keep a phone for the whole year.

This isn't fair now. My upgrade happened this year and I got my IPhone. Best purchase ever.

• Reunite or keep better touch with at least five old friends

Was I thinking realisitcly when I wrote this? Five people? I guess I might have pulled this off. I honestly don't know. Real friends never truly go away so I'm not sure to be honest.

• Travel to at least two states

I'm going to cheat a little on this one. Me and Mandy went to Vegas in Feburary and we went with Mike and Claire to Glee in Chicago in June. That counts for me.

• Make five new videos

I can see what I was thinking with this one. In 12 months I should have been able to make five videos. But to be honest, it's not as simple as it seems. There's alot of work that goes into these things. In reality, I got three done all year. I MIGHT hit the five mark if I churn out the videos I want to this week before the ball drops, but with Cristian home, I don't think that's very likely.

• Finally finish my portfolio

This was a massive success. Not only did I FINISH my portfolio, I presented it and finally finished school. This was a major moment for me.

• Be better with money

I'm still pretty bad with money. I really have to work on this.

• Fully organize our and CJ's rooms

Again back to the realisticness of this list. Are our rooms EVER going to be FULLY organized. No. Never. It's just how it is. No matter how hard I try, it never will happen.

• Find more ways to help with my memory issues

I'm gettting better in this area. Having my new phone helps big time.

• Take better care of my health

I did a good job for a while with this. I was down below 300. Then I got depressed with all the stuff from work and yeah stopped caring a little. I'm really disappointed in that.

• Cause less problems with people that I can control

I think I did this. I still screwed up along the way but not NEARLY as bad as I have in the past.
