Gradumutated! Now what?…
The “Ultimate Goal” List is BACK! I think the new number 1 goal should be: Keep blog up-to-date. Hmmm.
None of these goals are in any particular order. The original order was what popped into my head at the time. Now the lists went through a makeover and have (slightly) matured as I have. I achieved almost all the goals I set for December 2011! All that’s left are life goals, some of which I hope to achieve relatively soon, aka FIND A JOB.
General Life Goals:
- Keep blog up-to-date
- Find a job
- Payback my parents and all my college loans.
- Learn Tagalog.
- Go to Hawaii.
- Family reunion with the F/L/P alliance.
- Meet Uncle Jing’s kids.
- Go back to Japan to visit: Tokyo, Nara, Mt. Fuji
Achieved:
-
Work in a bakery/ be a cake decorator. [CHECK. Technically satisfied when I was 16 years old and had the worst first job experience EVER... but a check nonetheless.]
-
Eat, drink, and be merry with an important University figure. [CHECK]

Go to Japan [CHECK and it was AMAZING]

- Learn a bit of French (Oui!)
- Better my Spanish (Ala!)
- Continue to practice Japanese (ちょっと）
Things that I wish could happen, but I'd have to gain at least $500,000 in a short amount of time [Dear lottery god, I rest the fate of my financial position on you] as well as a new and improved, incredibly motivated, positive work ethic:
- Own a breakfast/coffeeshop/cupcake café and name it Kristi’s
