Summer Goals Revisited

As today marks the Open House for my Senior year, I figure now's an appropriate time to evaluate myself on my summer goals, which are here.

1. Read. This was generally a fail. I only read two books all summer, one the required reading project and "When You Are Engulfed in Flames" by David Sedaris (which I recommend). Both were enjoyable, but I wish I'd been able to get to the library more.

2. Get my license. Another fail, but not completely. I've made much improvement in my driving and drove a lot this summer, more than I've driven previously. I should be able to get my license fairly soon if I keep it up.

3. Exercise. Yet another fail, and there's no redeeming points on this one. Just fail.

4. Room clean. Semi-win. I did alright. It's never going to be effortlessly perfectly beautiful, but it's not that bad. It's been that way for a few weeks. Still not a complete success.

5. Be more social. Semi-win. I did a few things, but not much.

Well, in conclusion, I didn't complete anything I want to this summer. Yet, I'm not really all that discouraged. Maybe I'm growing apathetic to failure on my self-made goals, which is probably not good. I would make a goal to work on that, but that seems a little counter-productive.

I think I'll take a new approach to this fall and see how it goes.
