Exercise 1.2 and 2.5

1.2
1.  I wish to be in school still, have a job, and have a GPA of 3.4 or higher.
2. Many people drop out of school or flunk out and  i hope I am not one of them.  I would like to have a job so I have money to spend on items.  I personally just want to keep up the GPA I had in high school into college.
3. I guess my goal is to have a job within six months.  Yes it is a lot of time, but I am giving myself some room.
4. I will do my homework quickly to allow me to see that I have too much time on my hands.  I will plan my schedule next semester to allow myself to have a job.  I will start looking around town for businesses that I wouldn't mind working for.
5. Every week I will go out into the city to look at businesses in the area within walking distance.
2.5
1. I will get a job by the start of second semester.  I wish to have money.  this is not very challenging, but I can be picky about who has a employment.  This is very realistic.  I will check out businesses in the area.  I will make sure I have time in my schedule for work.  I will make sure I don't fall behind with my work.
2. I would like to have 15 new friends by the end of the semester.  I would like to know more people so I have people to hang out with.  It could be challenging, but no it is not.  It is very realistic.  Speak up when introduced to new people.  Go out to parties.  Be eager to meet new people.
3. Get a 3.4 or higher this semester.  I have always gotten above a 3.0 and I would like to start off my first semester doing well.   This goal could be challenging, but I doubt it will be in the end.  This is realistic.  I will not procrastinate.  I will not turn in late work.  I will stay up to date on all my subjects.

I think your goal to find a job by next semester is a realistic one. That gives you time to get used to college work and a college schedule before adding something new to the mix.

I can see that you are already following through on your "get a 3.4 or better" plan by staying up to date on the assignments for this class. Way to go!
