short term:
- get over my cold!
- not be lazy and go to the gym
- not procrastinate at work!
- be more social- less books, more people!

long term:
- find a job that I find remotely interesting- great coworkers are not enough, although they make a potentially unpleasant experience more than bearable
- find a job that isn't two hours away
- find a job that pays at least 5k more

Hey are we seeing a theme here?

Yes there are definitely themes here. Here are mine for now. And lovelyivy, there's nothing wrong with books vs. people. =P I am just talking from experience here. I am a total bookworm and bibliophile.

Short term:
- Get my BA already! Ugh...at the rate I'm going and the fee increases at school, it'll take me forever

- Money management

Long term:
- Have a career as an English teacher or a government job
- Married and have children
- Live in a house that has my own personal library (ideally like that scene from Disney's Beauty & the Beast)
