GOALS

by andrew corn

At work we are told to create “SMART” goals. Goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Fraimed. I know most people come up with their goals on New Years well I didn’t so I’m doing it now.

1.) Find a place in Charlotte where I can bring Riley with me before June (hopefully sooner).
2.) Continue going to the gym at least 3 times a week.
3.) Read a book of the bible each month. (I know most people try and read the entire Bible in a year but I want to set a goal that I can actually accomplish and not get discouraged if I fall behind.)
4.) Find a date for memorial day weekend. (I’m renting a houseboat with some friends . . . more on that later.)
5.) Include a comment section on this blog by the end of March allowing you to tell me how much my writings influence your lives :)
6.) Pay off my Citi Credit Card by the end of June.
7.) Update this site at least once a week.
8.) Write my grandparents and update them on things before the end of March.
9.) Get my NC drivers licence and car registered by the March 15.

Quotes

by andrew corn

It’s been an amazing trip back home so far. Friday night at La Scala’s was a really good time. It makes me wonder why we didn’t do things like this more often in college. (oh wait I remember . . . no money.) We had a few bottles of red wine at dinner then picked up a few more bottles to take back to Marwood. After that experience i’m definetly looking forward to taking my parents and sister out tomorrow night. Although tonight was a little dissapointing it did make me realize I made the right choice in leaving Indiana. Some things are a waste of my time and I need to start looking toward the future and forget about the past. I don’t really want to get into it but here are some quotes for you to ponder:

Survey Says . . .

by andrew corn

I’ll try and quickly recap the week for you. Friday night i went to liquid lounge and saw DJ Keoki spin. . . it was a good time. Saturday we went to Jillians for JP’s birthday then headed to crush. DJ there was not so good. Winamp would have been a better choice. Last night I went to the Purdue Alumni meeting and met some more boilers in the Charlotte area. It’s crazy how many of us there are. There are 2 other Dec 04 CPT grads that started last week at the Bank and a lot more in the previous classes. Tomorrow I’m heading back home to Indiana for an orthodontist appointment and while I’m there I plan on spending lots of time boozing. Anway I haven’t filled out one of these survey’s since High School so i thought I’d give you all the pleasure and fill one out.
