Goals

So, I've decided I should really post on this blog a lot more often. I'm going to use it like a public journal. And today, I'm going to talk about my goals.

I was reading a student productivity blog and the guy there was talking about goals and projects. He said to have maybe one or two big ones in each area of life, and drop the others. Well, I'm going to announce some of my goals. They aren't too specific right now, but as I progress I think I'll be able to better define them. Without further ado, my goals:

I want to get in shape. That includes 3x 30 mins of carido workout a week, 3x flexibility things and at least 1 weight training session a week. That's actually the minimum for my HEPE class at BYU, but I think I'll end up doing more. I want to be in good, functional shape. That means I'll be doing some yoga and making sure to strengthen muscles for good posture.

Second, I want to make that college study program I talked about in the last post. I have the base underlying classes written and designed, but that's far from anything useful. I need to give it GUI and write all the other functions that dish up lists of things based off requirements. For example, a function that returns all assignments due within a week, or all reading assignments. I think for my first release, I want to be able to add/view semesters, courses and class periods. I have it so a semester can be added already. I'm working on adding a class. The hardest part is going to be writing the viewers for everything and designing a GUI. Hmm....

The last goal to make a record. That consists of this blog and writing in a personal journal. I've tried starting a journal many times, but have failed just as many times to keep it going. So I want to start one and keep it going. I also want to post here often. It's sort of a second news outlet for my family/wierd people who read this blog that don't have anything to do with me/stalkers.

I actually have to wonder if anyone but you reads this Louisa. Maybe if I write an exceptionally good post you'll refer it people. That would be interesting.

What I want to write about in this blog is:
-How school is going
-How I'm doing on my goals
-My college study program updates
-Random musings about what I'm learning in school
-Other random things.
