The Official Summer 2004 Self-Improvement Thread
2004-07-02, 2:16 PM #1
What are your plans for self-improvement over summer? I'll post mine once I think of more than one. There'll be a follow-up in about 2 months time for everyone to announce their progress. Anyone who doesn't achieve at least one aim will be banned, even those who don't post anything in this thread.

My goals for the summer are:

1. Lose 20 pounds
2. Finish pilot's license
3. Make some money
4. Get a girlfriend
5. Get a new computer

Not necessarily in that order. Oh, and number 4 is pretty iffy.

2. Improve my drawing ability
3. Finish the rough draft of one of my main writing projects

The University of North Carolina has finally found a network server that, although missing for four years, hasn't missed a packet in all that time. Try as they might, university administrators couldn't find the server. Working with Novell Inc., IT workers tracked it down by meticulously following cable until they literally ran into a wall. The server had been mistakenly sealed behind drywall by maintenance workers.

1) Try to successful create a game in flash that isn't buggy and incomplete. I'm already on my 14th try as it is!
2) Do more 3d modeling work for BlackAngel Software. Hopefully we can finally attract a publisher and get paid for crying out loud!
3) Get a summer job to help pay for college and get job experience that ISN'T inside my home.
4) Get a girlfriend. Fat chance of that :P

Antibiotics.(attacks acne bacteria) Sun.(dry's skin and creates a vitimen in skin. Also covers up blotches with tan) Witch Hazel.(tightens pores and stops them getting dirty). Nicam (dries skin + stops skin from producing too much oil).
No more chocolate and Tea. no more McDonalds. Improve diet with orange jiuce, full meals, like sandwichs.

I would go easy on the juice - it has LOTS of acid in it, which has an impact on my skin. I've got pretty bad skin too.
