Yes, it is that time of year again. The time that I love to revel in making unreasonable goals (at least this last year’s were.) Goals with timelines are great! And so is the embarrassment of failing to reach them for a public audience, so that is why I am posting them here.  As an update from last year, I did drink enough water, visit a friend in a far away place, and minimize taking things personally, but failed to make my IRA contribution, do 500 hours of health related things (70), and I cannot do the splits.  Darn!

Let’s hope I do better in 2009.  I did decide to simplify though, there are only 2, just with detailed subgoals, that is simpler, right?

1. Get into medical school!

School: Get an A in physiology

MCAT: 35 or higher. Spend 30 hours a week on it. More if necessary, try my hardest. 

Health Related Experiences: 5-10 hours/week, shadow 2 docs

 Doctor prep: read an article every day in the health field/scientific papers

 Committee letter: meet deadlines and prepare thoroughly

 Personal Statement: Write 1^st draft by January 5^th.  Read book. Edited by 10 people.

 Sanity: Meet with Sarah

2.  Be Healthy!

Exercise 4 days a week

Drink 5 glasses H2O a day

Get more flexible

Take time to relax every day

I’ll let you know how I do next year!

Happy New Year to all!
