My goals...
This is the start of a new year, and with that the start of a new semester. Many of my college peers would begin the second semester of their senior year of college knowing that it is the last semester of school, but I (for better or worse) have made a pledge to be in school for much of the rest of my life. So this is just another start of another year of school. Beginning new semesters is much like starting the New Year; people like to write out New Year’s resolutions and goals for the coming year and finishing school. I on the other hand rather dislike those practices. I have found that what I want to accomplish at the beginning of the year is rarely even close to my goals, needs and ambitions by the time the year is up. I like to start each year with a few simple goals in mind: be open to new practices, try my very best, stay focused on the task at hand. These are the three goals I use to help keep me centered and focused, and they are the goals I will keep in mind for this class as well.

I appreciate that you hold yourself to the same overall goals, this is a good way to define who you are and your philosophy about your own education. However, please take a close look at the syllabus and what we will be working on in this course and try to come up with a few specific ideas (and post them). The reasoning behind this is two-fold: 1. It helps me to tailor the course content to what you all think you need/want. 2. Like in our readings from this week, it is always a good idea to have an idea of some specific things you want to accomplish, and then realize that its ok if you wander of task in a productive way. The danger of not having specific goals is not accomplishing anything specific.
