alexmegami1. Goddamnit, the 50 Book Challenge. THIS SHOULD NOT BE SO HARD FOR ME.
2. Do at least one picture a month on Fanart100. That's not too much to ask right? Especially since I have like three half-finished pencil sketches.
3. Finish NaNo this year.
3b. If I don't finish NaNo this year, or write at least 50,000 words of something - something complete - over the course of 12 months, resign self to fact that wanting to write is not enough when you have no talent or drive.
4. Find talent and/or drive.
5. Work out. Specific goals to come later, but "achieve at least average capability in endurance, strength and flexibility arenas" is more or less it.
6. Find some sort of job that meets the following qualifications:
-doesn't make me feel like I wasted seventeen years of my life;
-doesn't make me want to die inside;
-maybe even makes me happy to go to work (negotiable);
-is something I am qualified to do;
-preferably makes more than $17000 a year. (For those of you playing along, that's $8.75/hour, 37.5 hours a week, 52 weeks a year. You know... [what will be] minimum wage.)
This month's specific goals:
1. Look into RRSP, banking, and other investment stuff. (Specifically: how much do I have in my RRSP, how much can I boost that to, how much do I want to boost it by, and what's my plan for it; is there a better bank account for me; what to do with $1000)
2. Figure out what the hell I'm doing for a job.
