goals

i have a few goals for the next couple months, once i get to LA.

1. find a fabulous pair of sunglasses... i have never splurged on sunglasses and i need a good pair now that i'll be living in a place that actually has a lot of SUN!

2. build my work wardrobe... i haven't done a whole lot of shopping over the years recently but now that i'm a "FELLOW" i need to have fabulous clothes and look even more professional. plus, the weather will again, be different, so i need sunny-weather appropriate clothes.

3. lose 10 pounds... my weight is mostly stable but it's been up and down by about 10 pounds in the last 6-8 years. this past half year, especially, i feel like i've given into my bad habits and cravings more than usual. i fell off the flamin hot cheetos bandwagon. i've been drinking more soda again. etc.

4. figure out a study schedule for the pediatric boards in october... this is supposedly a VERY hard test; with a significant portion of people failing it every year. i really don't want to fail.

5. develop my teaching skills... now i will have residents and medical students to teach! i need to work hard at this very important endeavor.

6. i'm sure there a lots of others that i'm forgetting right now...
