Karate Fail

So almost a month ago, I set some goals for myself to achieve in 2010.  It’s nearly February now, and I’ve been out here on domestic operations for the Olympics for a while – things are starting to settle down a bit for me, but it’s been hectic as hell.  So I’ll review how I did for January and hopefully get back on track for the next month.

So, goal 1 was to blog once a week, every week.  That failed pretty hard; I managed to blog twice the first week and then went radio silence after that.  This should have really been the easiest one of them all.  So I need to catch up and get back into it – I’ll be aiming for twice a week in February.

Goal 2: university and grades.  I haven’t started yet, since I won’t be until at least the summer semester, but I’ve got my enrollment in and I’m just waiting to hear back now.   Goal 3 was regular exercise and I’ve been doing fairly OK with that.  I’ve averaged about five hours a week exercising, whether it was at the gym, going for a run, or doing martial arts.

Goal 5: Web stuff.  I’ve been reading up and making myself standards-compliant in the brain anyway, even if not in practice.  I’m planning on recoding one of my sites from the ground up to make it better, faster, stronger.  But that’ll probably not be until this operation is over.  So I’m doing OK on this one too.

6 and 7 are touch and go sometimes – I’ve lost a lot of my writing ability, but I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the novel project and refining some of the ideas I’d been working with.  I’ve got my guitar here as well and a little Roland Microcube and I’ve been writing some wicked riffs – now if only I could turn them into actual songs, I’d be happy.

So maybe it’s not so much a FAIL on these overall so much as that I’m disappointed with myself so far.  I can definitely kick this up a notch and do better.  Just a quick update for my progress so far – I’ll be posting actual stuff soon.
