motivation-- goals.

good grades = higher gpa

higher gpa = better chance of nursing program

better chance of nursing program + bet admissions essay = nursing admission

nursing admission = registered nurse

registered nurse = goals met

speaking of goals met, i have worked out 3 times. i changed my running thing from being an amazing runner, to simply working out 5 to 6 times a week. it's getting better, and still good for me. it'd probably be more effective if i didn't eat half a thing of ice cream every night, but soon that'll run out, and i'll make my roommate not let me get anymore, and then the workouts will improve everything. and running will become easier. i know. i learned it in my biomolecular chemistry class... as it turns out, i am learning valuable information in that class. it's quite sweet, and i think i did well on the test. tomorrow, i have the class again, so no doubt he'll be talking about the results. it felt good when i turned it in... so hopefully that actually translates directly to the grade i receive??

along with reaching goals, i took out my sax tonight. i was a little rusty-- okaay ookay, a lot rusty, but to my aid, i did not give my all because my roommate was trying to study for ochem and i didn't want to ruin her concentration. i ordered stuff online for my sax though, so i will be practicing and reach my goal of getting at least to where i was in high school, which was pretty high. i mean i went to new york-- yeah, i was just that good... or the band i was in was. hahaha. i love sax. and i miss it. and i need to keep with the things that make me happy.

goals are good. set your own-

"in 1964, all members of the harvard business school graduating class stated that they have, at graduation, clear goals that they want to accomplish in life. among them, 5% took the time to write it down on paper. in 1984, a follow up study was done and it was discovered that 95% of those who wrote down their goal were able to achieve them within 20 years. among the 'lazy' majority, only 5% of them were able to reach their expected goals."

write them down. it never hurts.
