Just 5 days away from 2013

With just 5 days left of this year, I've got resolutions on the brain.  Actually I've been thinking about them since before Christmas, and I've concluded that I'm going to set 6 month goals.  An entire year's worth of goals is a bit daunting and never (ever!) accomplishable.  So here's my list of goals (a list that is still a work in progress) to be accomplished by July 2013:

1. Lose the extra weight (~20 lbs)
2. Get into a Masters program
3. MIT diploma
4. Build up this blog
5. Run a half marathon in under 1:51
6. Save $7K 
7. Pay off all credit cards
8. Book deal with MIT Press
9. Find my own apartment
10. Super MCAT score

As you can see, there is a lot I want to get done in six months, but it's not impossible.  

#3 & #7 are in the works.  

#1 & #5 will take steady, unflagging dedication to healthier eating and increased fitness

#2 will be launched after my exam on January 4th

#4 has been started but will required significant networking and consulting to build

#6 will require penny pinching! Not the most fun project but will definitely be worth it

#8 & 10 will be launched after all my Masters applications are sent out

#9 will be accomplished after getting into a masters Program

What are your goals?
