I have this amazing power to think of things to do and routines to get into that will benefit me in the future and then miraculously convince myself that I really don't need to do them. Hopefully, this thread will act as a kryptonite of sorts to my impractical ability during Semester 2.
Things I should do and the reasons why (In case I try to change my mind):
Get at least 8 hours of sleep (Bed at 1/4 to 10 and rise at 1/4 to 6 on a good day) - Doing this just allows me to have a more relaxed morning and allows time for homework and a substantial breakfast.
30 minutes of piano practice a night - Just started taking lessons a couple weeks ago because I've always been messing around on a keyboard and decided it was time to learn properly. My goal is to be able to join the band in Year 9 next year without sounding like a toddler throwing a highly audible tantrum on the keys.
Complete two crosswords a night - Got a crossword book in hopes of further expanding my vocabulary, which will undoubtedly help in English. My Grandma is pretty much a talking, semi-walking thesaurus, but one day I shall overtake her as the crossword sensei (mwahaha).
Defeat my seemingly insatiable lust for liquorice of the chocolate-coated variety But more generally, lollies or chocolates of any kind. I can hear my teeths pleading, anguished screams whenever I chew sweets, so, like the generous person I am, Ill attempt to show them mercy.
Summarise content of classes after each school day Doing so will hopefully assist in consolidating those rad knowledgez (but more importantly, scrambling to cram for exams). Will probably need to do it in a word document rather than handwriting so I can begin to comprehend what Im looking at.
Help out around the house more often Just upping the general chores like sweeping, dishes, dog walking etc. Gotta show some mad respect to the old man.
Semester Goal: Get Str8 A's - If not for some idiotic mistakes on the exam for HPE (a.k.a the bane of my existence), I would have achieved this last semester. At least I know, with a little more work and less procrastination (lord save me), I'm capable of reaching this goal.
Hopefully I'll be able to report on my progress (or lack thereof) daily, starting tomorrow. Peace out
