Grad School Take Two. Goals for Fall:

Attempt not to fail any courses.

Attempt to actually complete two consecutive semesters in grad school.

Don't drop. Don't withdraw. Don't incomplete. ANY courses.

Be glad to be done with Dr. Briscoe classes. For life.

NOTE TO SELF: Don't get SICK!

Learn how to play jazz piano.

Try not to practice jazz piano too much.

Remember that the mental health of family may be at risk.

Try not to get kicked out of classical piano this semester.

Don't forget to practice classical piano.

Pretend to like classical piano. A lot.

NOTE TO SELF: Don't drink so much coffee!

Read textbooks. For once.

Don't get lazy and procrastinate. For once.

Try not to miss singing in Jordan Jazz.

Keep up other reading. It's good for the state of well-being.

Read Bible. Pray.

Don't overcommit.

Learn to say no.

NOTE TO SELF: Boycott Facebook!

Cook or bake at least once a week, maybe a month.

Be grateful for being a regular student and not a teaching assistant.

Now, T-shirts and jeans are still OK to wear to class.

Flipflops too. On a good day.

Have a coffee break with at least one friend each week.

Actually find a friend.

Daily ask if grades really matter in the real world.

NOTE TO SELF: Don't stress about not being perfect!

Focus. Focus. Focus.

I don't do coffee, but if I qualify as a friend, I would love to do tea with you! And, by the way, you are about as close to perfection as they come. Aunt B.

Aunt Beth. I would be thrilled to have tea with you. When and where? Also, can you email me the boys's game schedules? I've got Friday's free this year. (Very Useful for being Social.)

Let me know if I qualify as a friend too! **Wink Wink**

As we always say, "We should get together more often!"
