My Goals 2014-2015
by Wolstenholme, Sep 12, 2014, 3:47 PM
Super Smash Brothers: become passable at Melee, learn how to be pro with someone other than Fox in 64
Hmm I got really good with mario, and my kirby and pikachu are playable
Cooking: learn how to cook a ton of soup, seafood, and pasta
Reading: finish all of Wheel of Time, read stuff by Matthews.
General life: see a new movie EVERY Saturday
AIME: 13+
USAMO: top 12
TST: make IMO (who am I kidding, I should change this to "don't embarrass myself")
APMO: win a medal
HMMT: top 50
PUMaC: top 10
ARML: make tiebreaks
WWTBAM: make nationals
YES, got the invitation for nationals tonight! This rectifies my piss-poor performance last year
ICTM (Illinois state competition): defend my first place title
Varsity Public Forum Debate: make NFL Nationals again, qualify for the TOC, get to semis in at least one national tournament, get to quarters at IHSA state.
Yay I got to the semis of the first national tournament I attended, the mid america cup, and got my first TOC bid!
Chess: Don't lose all my games as first board
First semester: get all A's
Hmmm looks so far like I'm gonna get my second B in high school, in Spanish again
Second semester: don't get a single A (if I do, I'm working too hard)
Colleges: get into one of UChicago, Caltech, MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, CMU
