New System, New Goals

I am not a big fan of goals. Goals are not my fans either. I would make goals, then end it in an hour. I would make impossible goals, then just give up on it. So goals and I are not the best of friends. But now I am in a new system, and that might change a few thins. I decided to make 3 new goals.

     The first goal is to sleep over 7 hours a day. The abundant amount of homework, the study period all spent on debates and similar conditions forced me to sign up for the second study period. The second study period ends at 12:00. As we wake up on 7:00, this indicates the fact that I currently sleep for 7 hours. I hope to sleep more than 7 hours to not have swollen eyes and hands. I will try my best to sleep before 12:00, and will meditate to prevent from waking up in the middle of the night.

     My second goal is to keep up good handwriting in my diary. I am known for having messy handwriting. I see this new opportunity at GLPS as a chance for me to see how long I can go with neat handwriting. In order for me to reach this goal, I will make sure I am not in a hurry when I am writing in my diary. I tend to rush too much when in a hurried situation, meaning that I tend to write in a way which the handwriting is illegible when rushed. I will also try to make sure my pencil is sharp while writing in my diary because when I write in my diary with a pencil with a blunt end, it is all smudged and unruly by the time I am done.

     My last and third goal is to do 100 HSK5 words per day. By this, I mean write down the definition of the hundred HSK5 words. As this is a goal which requires my iPod, I would have to do this during the first study period or borrow a electronic dictionary to study during the second study period. I would also have to be in self-control as it is easy to be distracted, especially with a device which has entertainment apps downloaded or installed on it.

     I wish, hope, and pray to reach the goals I've set here. After all, there is no guarantee that this plan would fail.

  1. Hi Julie,

    These are very good goals to have. Proper sleep will help you function better and good handwriting is a good quality to develop.

    When typing, please type numbers as words (seven, three for example). You should also put a space between paragraphs and add more pictures like you did for the first post.

    It would be nice if you kept us up to date on your progress with weekly posts.
