NYE - 2007 Resolutions and Goals

Here we go... 2007 is going to be a good year.

1. My biggest goal this year - buy real estate!
I'm not sure whether this will be a house or a condo at this point but I am setting myself up to hopefully make a purchase in the summer or early fall time this year. This will be big, and expensive. ;)

2. Get promoted at work
I'm currently an entry level (1) engineer at Boeing and I think I've set myself up to earn a "level upgrade" to Level 2. This would supposedly give me a bit more responsibility (though I think I already do above level 2 work), and of course, a significant pay raise, on top of the "good" one I hopefully will get in February... ;)

3. Continuing Education
I want to take at least one or two classes this year and start applying to graduate school. I may even consider taking the GMAT for business school, even though I already did pretty decent on the GRE this past summer.

4. Believing in myself and Taking Chances
I am not always consistent on this. There's things where I am real certain about and there's many more, important, things that I play it safe, or just let it be. I need to be more self-confident, and self-motivated on these issues and adjust myself to make myself more well-rounded in these aspects.

5. Seeing the Seahawks win a Super Bowl
This isn't totally my goal, but it's a dream of mine.

6. Health and Wellness
I want to better myself in this aspect in all ways.

7. Expression of the mind, body, and... this sounds like a book title or catch phrase.
This goes hand and hand with Number FOUR, but I have alot of stuff on my chest that just needs to be let out. Hopefully some of that will this year.

8. Meeting people is NOT easy
whatever Radiohead may say, it isn't easy, especially when you're spending 50+ hours of your week in an office space, and then much of the rest of the time in your home. I want to branch out and network socially, and professionally, but more socially. Opportunities are out there and I want to be able to reach them.

9. Visit Scott in Japan
I want to visit him and I want to see the country, or shall I say megatropolis that is Tokyo. I also want to go backpacking in Europe, but I'll take one or the other.

10. Go to Whistler
Another trip I've been wanting to go on... this season!! hopefully...
