Tell me of your current goals.

One of mine is to learn to read music by college. Or rather, read it well. I can read music on a basic level, but as a singer, it's not generally expected. But I still don't want to let that hinder me, I want to read music well. So on top of my actual opera singing training, my private singing teacher has been giving me sheets and stuff to practice on.

One of my small term goals is to get a 2000/2400 on my May SATs. Though it's super-duper important, so it affects me totally long term as well.

My other biiiiig goal is to lose 10-15 pounds. I've lost 4 so far. ;o

I really want to get this full scholorship to art school. Video games are a big part of my life, and to be able to create characters for it would ba absolutely amazing. I'm really trying hard to make it work, but if i fail i fail. You can only be so good at something, i'm hoping i'm good enough ;o

I'd really like to do well at my exams this summer. I have four oral exams and three where I have to write essays in English, German and Danish. Getting generally good grades would be really nice.

I'd also like to become more organized and maybe get a bit more fit - I don't need to lose weight, but exercising some more would probably give me more energy.

Have sex on a merry-go-round. Seriously, I've always wondered what that would be like.

I asked, but it would seem I wasn't convincing enough, so my goal is to find a method of persuading her to take part in such a thing.

NOTE: I just realized I'm going to need someone to push the merry-go-round since I'll be busy...

I don't know if I need to lose 15 lbs. Maybe 10 lbs would be good. That's one of my goals, and not something I try very hard to do.

I try to keep my daily goals limited to something not only realistic, but something I can plan ahead of time to ensure they are successful:

- sleep 8 hours a day
- limit stressful outbursts to at the most, the duration of the day
- never lose sight of problems -- always know what needs to be done to fix them (this includes my annoying weight gain issue)
- maintain the semblance of what a pg really is. I'm 27 and going strong ^-^

Edit oh yeah I forgot to ask: Rye, you can't play any instruments? o.O

Yadayada. I have loads of long term goals. I suppose two many, I have more but I can't be bothered to list them all, I don't want to bore you all. I don't think I'd get them done in my life unless I had a lot of money in the first place though.

I wanna lose some excess weight. I have a fantastic body and look great when toned, but for reasons of my own I ended getting a wee bit of podge. It wouldn't take very long to get rid of, but I'm lazy. Damn me.

I also want to get A*-A's in all my subjects for GCSE's. It's likely for English, Maths, Science, French, History, EFL blah blah blah. Basically all my subjects. :D The one I'm most worried about is German - more specifically: the oral. I'm still gonna work like a bitch for all of them.

As well as all that, I want to get into the habit of being tidy and organised.

Oh yeah, uber long term goal is to complete ALL FF's available to me. :D

Number 1 is getting a date by the end of the year.

Long-term goals include finding a producer for my ideas (i've showed them to some people, and they liked what they saw) and finding a more realistic long-term goal.
