One Year Plan

My horoscope for today reads:

Today, you could delay, procrastinate, or simply feel lazy. You could take longer to do things than most people, dear Leo. Why? Consider the fact that you may be scared of taking the next step. Perhaps you are scared of facing the truth. Perhaps you are scared of making the next decision. By the time you are ready to move, you hope that someone else has already decided which way you should go. This method has probably gotten you far, but perhaps not in the direction you need to be going.

At first I was offended, but then I realized how true it is. I always wait for someone else to make decisions for me. I decided I need to make a rough one year plan! (I know you're supposed to have a five year plan...but come on! I'm taking baby steps.)

In one year I plan to have:
  • Saved a personally decided upon amount of money.
  • Become certified and be teaching aerobics again.
  • Taken the GRE.
  • Applied to a graduate program in either Oklahoma or Arizona.
  • Gone on a date or two.
  • Gotten a passport.
  • Plans to get a stamp on my passport.
  • Made a five year plan.
It's a start. The whole masters thing is a new idea for me... so surprise! I'm excited. Let me know if you have suggestions!
