my goals

Over at Karen's blog, she posted some goals she has. She requested that others do the same, so I thought I'd oblige over here at my blog.

Some goals I have (in no particular order) (and with no time frame, cuz I don't want to limit myself):

1. Make it through my reading clinic with an A
2. Graduate and get Master's degree
3. Get certified as Reading Specialist
4. Get certified to teach in NJ
5. Find better paying job with same "family" atmosphere as current job
6. Move out / Buy a house
7. Pay off student loans and get out of debt
8. Travel more (back to Europe and perhaps to an island... and definitely to Australia)
9. Take a cross-country road trip
10. Get married
11. Have children (no less than 2, no more than 4)
12. Work as a classroom teacher for at least 3 more years
13. Work as a Reading Specialist
14. Teach a college course in elementary education (as an adjunct, most likely)
15. Get and maintain decent haircut (sounds petty, but I never like my hair)
16. Write a book about a year in the life of a first grade teacher
17. Learn how to speak Spanish fairly fluently
18. Possibly go back to school to get certified as an ESL teacher
19. Possibly go back to school for my doctorate

And I think that's it. I wanted to make it an even 20, but I can't think of any more.
They're not entirely unrealistic goals, so I should be able to work it out. And if I don't hit them all? No biggie. As long as I'm happy, it's all good.

Now go write your own life goals, damnit!
