Goals for the Near Future

Gone are the times when I have to furiously study for the SATs. Gone are the days when I have to panicly fill out my applications. Freedom at last! This is great, I love the feeling of flexibility, being able to do whatever whenever without worrying about other stuff. To make sure I utilize my time efficiently, I want to write down what I hope to accomplish, so I don't lose focus and so you all can be updated in my life :)

First and foremost (hopefully I can keep this as my top priority), I have to absolutely destroy my midterm exams. Anything less than a A- in honors and CP1 classes is unacceptable. For AP classes it varies a bit. For calc, I need at least an A-, same for psych. Chem is the only class I can tolerate a B+. I am not talking all big, THIS WILL HAPPEN. I've fooled around too much in high school and cared too less about my grades, ending this semester strong is a way for me to take out my frustration.  Of course, it doesn't have to end there, I can also end the second semester strong as well. But that would require an unhumanlike amount of motivation ._.

I am poor once again. Well I have a unique situation at hand. I have a grand or more saved in a bank account which I don't have access to(smart move ^-^). The amount of money I HAVE access to amounts to near $200 :( Although I do have a job with decent pay, my rate of spending and my future necesities and desired transactions worries me. I am so thankful that gas is dirt cheap right now, helping me to relief part of my financial crisis, if only it could go under $1/gallon. Lol I need to focus my thoughts to more realistic things, seriously...

On the subject of money, I have to start thinking about my summer plans. It would be awesome if i can snag a finance-related job, learning on the job and making $$$ to pay for school. But I have to fit visiting China into my plans as well. 4 weeks would be ideal but i am not sure I have that much time (I gotta buy about 20 gifts as well so I better stop eating out as much, or drive less).  

Muscles, getting them on my body is priority number two behind academics right now. In order to get jacked, I'll need to eat like a mad pig in addition to becoming a gym rat, which i still need membership to...I've already got my protein shakes and creatine powders ready to go. Question is will it workout to my advantage? Through my research, I found out that people with high metabolism have to eat A CRAPLOAD in order to gain. I am not sure whether I'll be disciplined to eat that much. Waking up early was never a habit of mine and that is something I have to do so i can cook and have breakfast on school days. Cross my fingers...

Other random thoughts:

• I am disgusted at how the celtics are playing right now. They don't look like defending champions. They're not hungry, instead they're complacent. Every opponent of theirs have the game against the celtics circled in their calender. They all want to overthrow the champs, and I feel like the Celtics are getting the best of every team's punch, and not resilient enough to counter them. Rondo has to work on his perimeter game. I mean you can't be an effective point guard in the NBA, THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF COMPETITION FOR BASKETBALL IN THE WORLD, without a near all around game. I would love to see another championship outta them but they need to fix a few things. The bench, and defensive intensity being the foremost areas needed to address.
