List.

Christmas Break Goals

in any given order, except for number one, whose place at the top of the list assures its importance:

1. Rewatch Season 5 of Lost
2. Finish my book and at least three more
3. Write missionary letters (My poor friends! I write once and they never hear from me again)
4. Finish my plethora of summer research applications (I'm applying to 12-15 universities)
5. Solicit two stellar letters of recommendation
6. Get over this crazy cold (I haven't been sick in years; why start now?)
7. Host a fabulous black tie New Year's event
8. Pick up (and pore over) my new set of textbooks
9. Pick up both Glee soundtracks (or receive them for Christmas*)
10. Reclaim my pre-college dominance on the piano

11. Enjoy sun, shopping, and a basketball tournament in Las Vegas

12. Catch air on a snowmobile over the Continental Divide

13. Practice Arabic so I don't lose what marginal proficiency I've earned

14. Enjoy the holidays with my family :-)
