Goals goals goals

I love goals! I loved them even before I became a teacher and insisted that my students set “feasible but ambitious” goals. But the best part about setting personal goals is that you don’t have to rely on another person (like a 1st or 4th grader) for the goal to be completed.

So sometime in mid July I set a personal goal to run a 5k race in October. What I love about running is that you don’t have to be an expert to do it. You also don’t need that much money, just a good pair of running shoes and some practice. It’s also a great way to maintain my health. So here’s what I’ve done so far in preparation:

The Website!

I’ve finally created my website!

http://www.wix.com/melimv/vgmusic

Aside from the few pieces I have up, I have plenty of works-in-progress. What I do often is I write out an idea, become frustrated with it, then I leave it. Sometimes when I come back to it much later I’m able to finish it right away!

My works in progress are:

A piece titled Savannah

A piece titled Funeral

An untitled piece

A salsa piece

A piece inspired by flying

A piece inspired by a sunset

Better get goin’ on ‘em!
