1.
Family Stuff.
Progress is slow, mostly in part because of fear, and in part because of wondering how to explain what is going on; the idea of timing and when to mention things is at hand, and the other idea of knowing that I am supported, both online and offline does help quite a lot (thank you Guidance Counselor!)
...Problem being assumptions in the way. Do I have to be inferred as gay for some reason x_x or having an identity crisis? Hmm...
2. a Actually post in the Cartographer's Guild
b Create a map worthy of posting in the Cartographer's Guild
The Guild in question is a magnificent place, filled with an attraction that attached my geographical affinity along with art onto the many, splendid and breathtaking ways on how topographical charts and realistic renditions of scenery and ideas were made. This is a two-step goal, which should in the least be finished by the end of the year.
> Err...requires mapmaking(1) to start. I currently have mapmaking (0.9).
Must do in free time. Free time = D:
3.
Self Management.
Keyword: Time Management, and that memory of my BioSci I teacher regarding the teacher as the facilitator instead of the spoon-feeder.
Must learn how to manage the self, to manage the 24 hours allotted each 'day' spent, including how to 'automate' and move through the strange inconsistencies (ie possible procrastination//Depression//Focus) which may plague what may have been essentially productive days. Inclusive would be the forward and continued development of the drive and passion which has gotten {me} to where {I} am now.
> New day - new knowledge! Totally working out perfectly. And I'm helping others too! Bonus!
4.
No more flaking. Actions speak louder than words. Do the thing!Public speaking. Your father and parents got you this far out of that trauma in the past; forward it better by mastery of your home language. This is in part, already fulfilled given that you can speak and express yourself,
far better than initially predicted a long time ago.
> ...Bad past memories popping up equal slowing down of progress. Knowledge of dealing with such memories are helping.
Problem is starting the talk in the first place. Introductions =
5.
Food Improvement. Diet Improvement.
The Cordilleran region is known for its famous vegetable dishes.
> I must learn how to cook first...
Instead of relying on the many food outlets present (though to be honest, there are food outlets which serve traditional cuisine at extremely affordable values--this is orange, because I can't -replicate- such good food, but I am eating well!)
...Can't gain weight though >_>
6.
Exercise!Other than the usual 3km you have to walk daily to public transport up the mountainous terrain, try a martial art! Other than Taekwondo which you did before, try other arts which hold your interest! Eskrima seems like a nice place to start, or at least return to your archery skills which you've somehow shown an innate talent in before!
Also watch those noodle arms. Your ratio of upper body strength to lower body strength is not balanced.
> Jogging uphill. That uphill walk from home to the local highway. Then riding a jeep to jog from the dropoff to school.
Much exercise for lower body.
...Upper body, not so well. Noodle arms still exist.
7.
Digital Arts FocusYou have been acknowledged by one of the region's finest DA school instructors as 'capable'. Develop that talent and your creativity in general.
< Lacking free time. Ideas are being written down though. Visions are being recorded for future remaking.
8.
Knowledge on Medicine, specifically regarding DNA and ancestral matching. {May pass onto the proceeding year}Keyword: Adopted.
Initial stages have been a success--you've met the first responders, though not contacted the security company in charge (though the records may be very... old. Note: 1994. Inquire to local precincts as to the possible travel time and qualitative data regarding initial findings of that date.)
> Right, so long story here. The problem being that I've tried to trace distance and time from the destination point--with the title actually referring to 'Track biological parents down'. Currently at a standstill due to...lacking...tools and ideas on what to even do.
> Probably must visit local precinct, or the security company which hosted the guards of 1994 at that certain area. Or visit that certain area and inquire in-depth during a free weekday (of which a scant few exist)
9.
Help Others {Get your terminology in gear!}Learned from great people who had the knowledge how to empower the person and overcome great troubles. Learn how to pass what you learned onto others. What you are now is in part, the result of others who help and believe in you ever since...that past time.
> I bloody know I can do better but the wording comes out very differently when typed or written down compared to when thought out. ARGH. Must find better ways to convey the exact idea!
10.
Arts/Literary ProjectThat backlog on gifts for 'best friends who helped you through life' must be done.
First step: Learn how to consistently draw. Your spurts of brilliance do not seem to be controlled enough to use as a basis.
Others:
* That RTD Library you volunteered for. FINISH THAT DRAFT THAT'S SITTING THERE (or else others will assume you just didn't do it. :I)
> Art project underway quite well. But goodness gracious.
I am nearly a WHOLE YEAR LATE because of personal issues! But I still want to do it :I
* That RTD which you have in your signature. Revive it. In a new thread.
> Remake underway. Just need more free time; planned to be after the above.
* Finish those maps. Those incomplete...maps.
> Same with above.
* That FEF you're making. You have the character classes, XP rules, mechanics, plotline going. Polish them.
> Same with above ;_;
* Storytelling. Improve stock of literary books. Maybe participate in the 52 books per year thread. Possibly borrow books from friends due to lacking funds.
> I need to save more from allowance ;~;
11.
Thank that Grade 6 teacher.Easiest way is through Facebook, but contacting her is the first step that must be done. Consider a letter of appreciation +art or a story +art.
> She's overseas. Message sent.
12.
Learn to drive.
._. Driving. With four wheels. Two more than your now-broken bicycle. And on the road.
> ...
13.
Join Extracurricular areas!
You have been acknowledged by the Student Psych President as 'able' in debating. Follow up on it.
You have been acknowledged by your English III Instructor as very well written in verse and literature, with the suggestion to work on the school newspaper team. Go for it.
Head Teacher of your course noticed your potential and followed it up with the Guidance Counsel. Expound that.
You've come this far. Very far from your childhood. You can do this.
> Of course, this will all happen during the next 1st semester...
14.
Keep in contact with friendsFriendship makes the world go round. It is among the first forms of love experienced.
Especially on this forum--first forum you joined. First forum you broke through your communication barrier. First forum you met very nice people which helped you meet nice people offline.
>
Some...friends.[/vague]
15.
Remember names other than remembering only faces.
Probably connected either with something in the past, or something with lingual memory.
> Working on it. Memory needs practice consistently.
16.
Learn trade skills.
Your dad is great teacher. Construction. Plumbing. Pipe-repairs. Use that toolbox. Learn the tools. Analyze the house-water-system. Learn to sandpaper correctly. Wear gloves.
I mean seriously. One of his colleagues is in welding, and she's awesome at it.
Be that inner mechanic-expert you've always been dreaming of...when playing Steampunk games.
>
Proactivity.[/vague]
17.
Make Parents Proud....Filler goal, most likely. You know they're proud of you despite...your current state, but maybe change the title to 'fulfill potential' or something.
> ...I don't know if..[/ReallyVague]
18.
Language Studies!You've noticed that you've a ton of affinities for many things--art, philosophy, theology,
math, and even languages! Your past horrors cannot even compensate for the tiniest speck of that
very distinct feeling you've got in these fields and more.
Try to at least get into mastery of a language or dialect this year.
> Reading comprehension is going swell. Speaking replication is...not. Must improve.
19.
Emotion ControlIts not apparent to mostly anyone, due to how far you've progressed in understanding and realizing many things. Control towards the ego, rather than anger or hate--due to the lack of the latter experienced in anything.
This year, practice recall of situations where emotions may be a hindrance and utilize personal abilities to aid interaction in those situations, past and future.
> Totally working out perfectly.
20. Remember and honor friend/s who cannot be seen again.
> I'll never fail this.
