UK Goals List

Now that my first week of class is over and I have sooo much free time on my hands (hah, yea right) I've decided I need to set a few goals for myself while I'm here studying.

In no particular order:

1. Achieve first class honours in my Bunsiness Excellence Marketing Program.

The grading system here in Wales is a bit different then what I know back home in Canada. (its tough to say though because I went to College not University) In order to pass all of my courses, or Modules as they are refered too here, I need to achieve only 40%. In order to achieve a first class degree I need to achieve an average of 70% or greater in all of my modules. Sure it sounds easy considering I am used to achieving 80's and 90's but apparently only about 5% of the class each year achieves 70% or greater. The professors describe a 70% or greater to be publishable work, so we'll see how I do. Regardless of what it takes to achieve a 70% that is my goal and I wont abandon it until I know there is no possible way to achieve it.

2. Do not get deported.....at least not until I get my Degree.

This seems like a no brainer, but after a few drinks the impossible becomes the possible and the stupid things become the norm. I'll try my best not to get deported, but if I do, at least I wont have to pay airfare back home.

3. Destroy all Mites living in this house.

Today I found some incredibly small mite like creatures lurking on the floor of my room, just waiting for me to drop them some food. Well I got news for these little buggers, The vacuum is coming out, and they will all be killed. Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.

4. Increase alcohol tolerance.

This goal will be hard to measure without actually drinking so I imagine I will drink fairly often in order to see how I'm doing, besides, practice makes perfect right? Don't get me wrong, I do not intend on becoming an alcoholic, or drinking every night, but having a good time once in a while isnt going to kill anyone.

5. Run.

Simple goal, but I always seem to fall short of achieving it. I want to run 3-4 times a week while I am here to get in a bit better shape. I have only run twice in the last month but that will change starting tomorrow, maybe even this evening depending how I feel.

Thats it for blogable goals, I'll be sure to add more as they come to me.

Cheers!
