Weekly Goals

At the beginning of each week, I compile multiple lists of things I should do.  I usually organize them by topic: Academic, Personal, and RA.  This week, I have some major Personal Goals that I want to accomplish that tie in with my overall big goals.  Some of these I should have done last week, but will be completed this week.

To Do:

• Finish updating my resume/schedule that Internship interview!
• Write up/turn in Abstract for Art Symposium in April
• Open a savings account

It is important for me to not overwhelm myself with too many big goals, especially since I have a lot of smaller things that I need to take care of (laundry, house chores, homework, RA tasks, work, etc).  

I feel really energized this week, so I think I can get a lot accomplished.  Going to Iowa was really helpful (more on that later).  I already have a lot done today, which is a great feeling.  Also, I have a lot to look forward to this week: Today I am going with Matt (my boyfriend) to find a birthday present for myself, tomorrow is my birthday, and this weekend some of my favorite St. Louis friends are coming to celebrate my birthday.  I feel like I haven't seen them in so long.  I can't wait to see them!  Yes, all of the things I am looking forward to has to do with my my birthday.  Nothing is more motivating than a birthday :)

This is my motivation!
