Title: What do you want to be doing in a year?
Post by: Newts on September 11, 2005, 03:25:37 pm
A question obviously inspired by my current situation.

I'll go first.

I want to have passed my course, first and foremost. I want to have avoided being killed by Hannah or Kelly for being a lazy, sarcastic bastard. (The latter of these is probably the harder to achieve.)

I want to have spent a good summer at home with everyone. I want to be starting a new (my first) job. I want everyone to be happy and healthy.

I would also like a new Shining Online demo.

I don't ask for much, do I?

After these next twelve months have passed us by, where do you want to be in life? What do you want to have changed? What are you scared of losing?

In a year? Well, i'll just be finishing my placement year. They'll hopefully be shoving lots of money in my pocket and offering me a job as a graduate.

Should update SFW at least twice this year (maybe a new top banner).

Also want to chill out mostly and just enjoy a year without projects or coursework!!

Oh, and i want to make a few shining-oriented games with Java. But we'll see!

Good luck Newtsy, all the best :D

In a year i'm hoping to be sitting in Ohio University listening to a class on creative writing then coming home and playing the full version of Shining Online (hehe)

By next year i'm hoping to have an apartment with a couple of friends in it and to be working on my first (good) book.

They both sound excellent. Good luck to you both.

I should've put this question on the end:

How likely do you think it is that you'll achieve these goals?

Not likely...i'm far more likely to EXCEED them.  :roll:

Congratulations Elv, you've been crowned Miss World 2005!

What do you want to achieve? Are there any goals or ambitions you want to satiate? What's going to be driving you in the next year?

The alive, happy and healthy thing is my goal mate.

It is what drives me.

Here's how I did on mine:

Quote
I want to have passed my course, first and foremost.


I did it, but not in the way I would have liked. Still, a pass is a pass.

Quote
I want to have avoided being killed by Hannah or Kelly for being a lazy, sarcastic bastard. (The latter of these is probably the harder to achieve.)


This wasn't as tough as the above one; we had our moments, but otherwise it was fine.

Quote
I want to have spent a good summer at home with everyone.


I spent a good week and a bit at home and a week at Hannah's place. It was a very nice summer.

Quote
I want to be starting a new (my first) job.


Still waiting on this :newtssad:

Quote
I want everyone to be happy and healthy.


With the exception of Hannah's grandad who sadly passed away, everyone is in excellent shape.

Sometimes I think things are bad, but looking over that I realise that, actually, it's pretty good :newtshappy:

Did you meet all your goals? What has replaced them? Where do you want to be by New Year, your next birthday, one year's time or some other milestone?

Aim low hit low, Lazy :newtstongue:

In a year I shall have secured my place as supreme overlord of the Commonwealth Dictatorship of Antartica.

Realistically, I'd like to actually be making some money to live.

I will probably be married by then too.

Didn't anyone else notice the last bit?

Congratulations on your potential nuptials, Ace (or Mike). Who's the lucky lady, how long have you known her etc.?

I think the Wheel of Morality should be present at your stag night.

Stag Night? I'd be bloody lucky. Its one of those Marriages.

An arranged one?

Surely if you're the groom you get to go on a stag night. Show her who wears the trousers, etc etc.

Personally if I were going to get married and I referred to it as one of those marriages all sorts of alarm bells would be ringing.

Also, no stag night, no wedding. Simple as that. Either way, my stalking skills are good enough to find you, so get ready for the Wheel to roll on by any time.
