First Update of the Summer!

Hey kids!

A quick update on summer goals. (#1) I've finished the first volume of eight needed to read every Calvin and Hobbes strip in existence. I found the second volume and I borrowed it from the library. Nothing crazy. Just reading comics. And a lot of them.

(#2) We had a writing meeting! I'm starting the draft on episode 4 for the Detention Miniseries. For those of you who don't know (which is almost everybody), we've been working on writing a miniseries for around 4 years now. Progress was slow for the first few years with a 2-year hiatus in there somewhere. But now we're back more productive than ever and actually writing the dang thing.

(#4) For the second summer in a row, my life goal challenge of the summer is to run a 5:59 mile time. I need to shave off about 6 seconds from last summer's PR and I feel like my training is off to a much better start this year. In other news, I reevaluated my list of life goals. I'll be posting about them and other things about my self motivating life on a different blog. Get it, son!

(#8) I'm at the infamous Water Temple. I haven't gone in yet. It's daunting, intimidating task for sure.

(#9) I almost went camping. Almost.

(#10/13) Quitting soda and Facebook was hard. I had headaches for a few days, but those are finally gone. I had a lot of thoughtless urges to check my Facebook app only to not be able to find it on my phone, as I took preventive measures in disabling it. Good call, past George.

(#11) I've slowly been trying to get my sleep schedule back on track so I can start getting up before 8 AM for half the summer. I think this goal is key to a productive summer and the days I've done it, I've made a lot of progress on goals and other aspirations. Because there's actually a lot of things I work on outside of my summer goals, of course. Especially fitness goals, which my summer goals this year are lacking.

(#12) The summer playlist is in the works! I'll be adding more songs as the summer continues to unfold and new songs become more relevant to my life. So far I've got 5 solid songs, but I want somewhere around 15.

(#14) I bought the board and started putting things on it! Once the inspiration board is full, I'll be able to check this one off.

(#23) Check this one off! My goal to finish one of last year's unfinished summer goals is over. I managed to make an actual friend that also happens to be a girl (Goal #23 last year), which is not something I've ever really done in my life before.

Not a bad start! 5/25 (20%) complete already and a lot more in progress. Tune in next week for another update!
