[Heron TSG]

By the end of 2011, I hope to...

• Be more than 90% done with my Associate of Arts degree.
• Convince the school board/principle to let me and a couple friends take Calculus II as a class instead of independent study
• Make some more friends, including female ones.
  
• Find a way to pay for college for the four years after high school. Scholarships, a job, etc.

Learning how to be a better Dungeon Master would be cool too, but not really a resolution of this caliber.

[Vector]

Hmm...

• Get straight A's over the next year
• Fix my "issues" with linear algebra
• Read through all of at least one of the manga series I own
• Learn how to sew at least a little
• Learn to cook enough that I stop making myself sick
• Manage to get proficient enough in mathematics that I don't have to sleep absurd hours if I've only been working 12-14 hour days

Yup, that's it.  Not too bad.

• Prove to myself that odd numbered years are not necessarily bad years.

[Rose]

Make at least a functional demo of an RPG game

[Keita]

To get past my current course with at least M's, D's if possible.

By the end of 2012:

Get a girlfriend
Make something in Java
Drive my car to somewhere interesting
Somehow get approved to run after checking in with the Doctor in March.
Bench press at least 200 pounds, squat 250
Bike 100 miles
Shoot more guns
Do the SAT; get at least 1900
Become the leader of something

[Tack]

You can strike the last one off that list, because the previous leader just stepped down in the Tack fan club- so the position is available for as long as it takes for the rest of the naive little bunch to declare a winner.

But I'd be happy to give you precedence.

...


-Overcome ego problems.

Edit: that's never going to happen.

But it's already happened, you stepped down as the leader of your own fan club

[Tack]

Nooo. That was Jackrabbit. But he's overseas now.

Oh my god, you too? ._.

Yes. You may have OCD, did you know this?

[Heron TSG]

Oh hey, I forgot a couple.

• Run a 5k in under 17 minutes
• Run a mile in under 4:45
• Get accepted to at least one university.

I'm a bit OCD but I usually think the opposite. Odd years seem especially good, while even ones are less so.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Meh. They're all pretty shit really.

I should try this. I was close before the winter... but y'know... cold, school, laziness... May not happen

[Vector]

Already been diagnosed with AS, so if I had it it'd probably just be shoveled under that umbrella.

I was being somewhat flippant, as I used to believe odd-numbered years were the bad ones and even-numbered years good ones, and then I realized that this is because I'm kind of obsessed with prime numbers (which are usually odd) so I ascribe most significant events to prime-numbered years automatically (and no, not just because of the large law of small numbers).  This means that when I drew a graph of good years versus bad years I wound up with good years even and bad years odd (hell, I just dislike odd numbers that aren't prime in general, I don't know why), which led me to think that this was actually some kind of pattern rather than an idiosyncratic expression of my own peculiar obsessions.

Then I grew up a little bit more and realized that the good and the bad were similar enough that I couldn't really ascribe any sort of pattern to what I had perceived, as a "good year" isn't really good unless it leads to good things, and most of my good years were marked as "good" due to happiness at a situation which rapidly became bad, and then only became good due to slowly developing maturity.

Also, 2010 was kind of the Ultimate Terrible Year, so that broke the pattern.

tl;dr I think my real problem is that I think too much about things that don't matter.
