Today I find myself in the unusual and desirable position of being placed at the beginning of a six month gap between graduation from college and the start of my new job in November. In an attempt to make the most of this down time (and to keep myself from going crazy!) I have made a list of things I would like to accomplish this summer/fall. I originally set my goals much too high and after estimating that they would take me about 60 hours per week to finish by November, I decided to pare down the list a bit. The last thing I need is to continue the burn-out I have experienced this past semester!
So, with no further ado, here are my summer goals:
1. Study for and pass all four sections of the CPA exam
2. Get a part-time job
3. Complete Spanish 1 and start on Spanish 2
4. Volunteer 75 hours
5. Buy a house
6. Take a vacation
7. Go camping
8. Create a list of contact numbers in case my purse ever gets stolen
9. Create a list of contacts to be notified of a change of address when we move
10. Sort through and organize receipts, bills, lecture notes, etc.
11. Make one new recipe each week
12. Make five crock-pot meals
13. Have five people over for dinner
14. Read twenty books (at least ten non-fiction)
15. Read the New Testament
16. Be less wasteful
In the future I will take more time to explain why I have chosen the goals I have as I track my progress. I have had a hard time sticking with my blog in the past, so hopefully tracking these goals will lend me the focus I have been lacking and keep me writing more consistently.
