What are your goals and/or expectations for this semester?


I have so many goals that I don't know where to start and when it will end. But right now I'll start with the one I have in mind which is to succeed in passing this semester and to make sure that I put all of my effort into doing so.
My only expectation is to receive all the things that I would need to be able to achieve my goal. To tell you the truth I think that expectations shouldn't be or is a bad thing to have in mind. Because to expect something is to need and when you need something and at the end you find out that that is not what your going to be getting, that will be the one thing that is going to hold you back from doing all the other things that you would of done if you did get what you've expected. And plus it'll probably lead you into doing something that you wouldn't want to do, perhaps like a mistake that will cause a downfall in your life. Some other goals that I have for the semester are to be able to get all the unit that I have registered for and raise my GPA and pass these classes. READ-127, MATH-108, LEAD-217 AND PE-19B (Weight Training). I'm really pushing myself to make sure that I learn in these classes and prepare myself for my next level classes. Failing is what I hate the most and is not what I would want to have happen because every time I fail at doing something, a big part or portion of, you can say my self-esteem or confidence disappears and it makes me effortless at trying again. I am expected by myself to make it through and out of college and I hope I get all the help I can get to be able to accomplish this task.

Good start to your journal Tou. You seem a little anxious about this semester; I hope it is going well for you. Hopefully you can channel that nervous energy into meeting your goals.
