Long Term plans -

http://i52.:bou::bou::bou::bou::bou:...u:/30lfmuf.jpg

I wonder what my parents will get me tonight. Anyway, last night I was thinking of what I had accomplished this past year. Basically it wasn't much. I think I gained 13-15 lbs or something (I'm almost back to my starting mass from when I was 29), and so my plan for 2011 is to cut down to single digit body fat, but stay at the same mass, just as a personal mission.

Then I got to thinking of my plan for the next 9 years....

I also want to get a diploma in something to do with computers. I've been planning this since ... this year, but I've never actually forced myself to do it. Of course it would have to be distance ed and/or night course, but definitely something I want to do asap so that it has the most benefit

I want to not need to work out every week forever and ever, so by the time I'm 40 I'd better be done with having to exercise. I want 40-death to be maintenance exercises. So my body has to be done. ETA - 10 years, maybe a few more.

I also want to travel. The travel destinations are: Australia, the United Kingdom, Amsterdam, Japan, and anywhere else in the next 10 years that strikes my fancy. 2011 will be Australia.

What are your long term plans? I think Mandee wrote one out, but other than that, I think most of you don't have much else going except 'graduate and get a jerb', which is good, but within 10 years? What about 10 years?

My biggest long term goal is to figure out whether or not I want to pursue a graduate degree in history, deciding what area of history I am interested in, and what I will do with said graduate degree aside from teach at a University. Also whether or not I even want to get an undergraduate degree in history, though all signs point to yes.

Other long-term goals include finally traveling somewhere outside of the United States, a dream/goal that I have had since I was an early teenager. I want to backpack through Europe with a friend or two but have been constrained by time, money, and friends pursuing their own goals. Also on the table is living arrangements, mostly dealing with the location in which I will be doing it. I dislike moving a great deal (the actual physical part of moving, I don't mind the idea itself) but I also hate settling down in one place for too long, so I need to figure out how that will fit in with my girlfriend's plans, which are quite the opposite. Speaking of girlfriend, I suppose I should figure out when/how I will propose to her.

My biggest long-term plan is to study marine biology. I've never been one for long-term plans and I tend to just take things as they come, but now that I've finally figured out what I want to do, I'm really excited.

In ten years, I hope to atleast be on my way to a doctorate and living along the coast somewhere.

Yeah, ideally Monterey Bay, or maybe somewhere in Oregon. Florida is for old people.

In the next 10 years I'd like to have my Masters, have published a book, and have served on the board of a non-profit organization. I'd also like to learn to play a musical instrument.

I used to say I wanted to be settled down with someone and have kids 10 years from now but the more time passes the less it seems as if that's something I'll make happen for myself. But that's okay, too.

Mine may be slightly altered from the last thread. Let us review:
- Lose 10 more pounds (making for 50 total, biiiitches) - Deadline: Christmas 2010
- Travel to Disney World - Deadline: March 2011
- IMPREGNATE - Deadline: Easter 2011 (ovaries willing)
- Travel Europe - Deadline: August 2012
- Buy a house - Deadline: The next year or two
Note that "get a job" is no longer on the list. I'm still trying, but... whatever. Stressing about it is stressful, and I have a husband to support me while I do my housewife :bou::bou::bou::bou: so it's all good.

So, yes, I believe that plan is a bit shifted from the last thread.

I'm boring because I still have a long way to catch up. I suppose inside of ten years I would like to have graduated and be either working or have started a grad degree. Travel would be awesome but that depends on funds which I have none of atm.

In 10 years I would like a real beard too plz

2011:
- take spring online classes
- get health insurance and 2 surgeries
- finish my novel i've been working on for forever and a day just to say I at least finished a novel
- Vegas for my 21st with sister and Yar because we're gangsters like that
- move the ef out of oklahoma
- (hopefully recovered enough from surgery #2) go to school out of state by the fall (again if possible)

2012:
- If I can't get out by next fall I'll aim for the spring after that.
- If I deem that finished novel worthy enough I might ATTEMPT to be published (can't get anywhere without at least trying first)

That's the extent of my current future plans

Fate Fatale

My life is currently at a crossroads. I'm in college waiting to hear about getting into a musical theatre performance major, but I'm setting myself up to be a director if I don't get into that. So my life could go one of two ways.

Musical Theatre:
1. Finish college with a BFA in Musical Theatre
2. Move to either New York or London
3. Audition for every show available.
4. Land a role, either minor or major.
5. Make a name for myself as a stage performer.
6. Live my life's dream as a musical theatre performer.

Directing:
1. Graduate college with a BA in directing.
2. Move to Chicago and start producing smaller productions.
3. Grow my name as a director and person.
4. Direct larger and larger shows and work my way to New York.
5. Live my life as a big time director.

Either way, I'm going to have to work my ass off to succeed in life.
There's no business like show business.

I might become a movie critic after I finish my studies and army career so I can completely rip apart your movie if you guys make one

Hmm lets see:

1. Get playing paid cover gigs with band number 8 (hopefully be ready for that March - April 2011)
2. Start writing music again (ASAP) Can't be a cover musician forever & I haven't written a song in 2 years!
3. Make preparations to return to uni for undergrad degree number 2 this time in history. Law School costs €12000 in Ireland so that's out the question plus I'm a musician at heart not a lawyer! (Preparations begin Jan 2011)
4. Get off unemployment benefit (ASAP) Any job will do!
5. Form a lasting relationship (my last relationship was an utter disaster!)
5.
