-Doing well in Soccer Intramurals/proving a point.
-Continuing my part time job as a cashier :S
-Writing a spectacularly original mini thesis essay in my second year Sociology classes, not something run of the mill/borrowed from the textbook.
-Figuring out how to pursue my research interests in econ(behavioural econ/Irrational descisions) and socio(Crime & Religious extremism) and finding a prof/department that will give me a paid research oppurtunity next year.
-Finding a job that fits me as an INTJ, namely something that isn't repetitive(sales, food, retail) and allows me to be creative/change something for the better of everyone.
-Financial Concerns
-Trying to be less of an INTJish sulk/cynic all the time and having fun for once!

That's just the begginning lol *sigh*
We have similar concerns. If we ever play against one another in intramurals it will be the battle of INTJ.

lol true that! INTJ's RTW! Well eventually, after they realize how silly the rest of the people in charge actually are! Yeah I'll be playing for a couple of corec and hopefully one good Men's A division!

1. Chilling hard enough. Don't get me wrong, I'm good at chilling, but I really want to focus this year on chilling super hard.

For those of you worried about money I would recommend looking into McMaster BreadBin's Good Food Box. It wont save you thousands, but over the school year you can probably save a few hundred dollars and your diet will likely vastly improve (eating lots of fresh fruit and veg all year). It is $12 per box, for $20 worth of food. I am of the opinion that it is more than $20's worth though, the box must weigh at least 15 pounds.

Check it: http://www.msumcmaster.ca/servicesan...volunteers.htm

Mark, I can't begin to imagine how intense that must be for you all the time but it'll be okay. We can't worry too much about what we can't control and we'll always be in the lives of the people we need to be with when we need to be there. It may sound crazy and too "out there" for some, but think about it: We wouldn't be there with them all this time just to end up with fate/chance situating us elsewhere when they really wanted us beside them.

Signed up on the fora for this My list goes from 6 being the lowest worry and 1 being the highest.

6. Waking up in the MORNING.
5. Not being able to bleach over the ugly faded red colour in my hair right now in time for frosh week. I want it blonde and pink but right now it is orangy-pinkish-red.
4. Getting along with my room mate who hasn't been on msn OR facebook all summer.
3. Finding a chill group of people to be my friends.
2. Connecting with my profs
1. Me slacking off. If I don't try my best this year I'll be really upset with myself.
