Some goals (or something?!?)

I've been thinking about what I'm going to do now that all the kids are in school full time now, and I've come to some conclusions.

1. I need some actual goals!
2. I need to make myself actually pursue those goals
*I have trouble forcing myself to go into uncomfortable situations*
3. I MUST overcome my fears of new social situations and meeting new people
*I'm afraid people won't like me and/or I'll look "stupid"*

So as a first step, last night at work I thought about what I want to do. I have a lot of time to do that since I'm pretty much unsupervised most of the night(3rd shift kicks butt in that respect!). I really thought about what I would like to accomplish. Whether it be for personal reasons, for the betterment of my family, or both.

I got some goals... and here they are in no particular order, although some would obviously have to come before others.


1. Get my driver's license.. (Yes, I'm almost 34 and don't drive, so what!!!)
2. Go back to school (but I don't know for what)
3. Own my own home (renting sucks monkey butt)
4. Learn Japanese (harder than it sounds, and it sounds pretty hard!)
5. Go to Japan

So that's it, for now anyway... these may be changed or updated in the future with no advanced warning!!!
