Goals for this week

So I know that I originally wrote that I'm going to make goals for 3 months at a time. Well, that takes a lot of work, my juices aren't flowing full throttle yet. But I'm going to be working on them, hopefully I'll be able to post them this weekend. When I do they'll kind of look like and I.E.P. (If you don't know what an I.E.P. is go to the following web pages:
  1. http://kidshealth.org/parent/growth/learning/iep.html#a_What_s_an_IEP_                           
  2. http://www2.ed.gov/parents/needs/speced/iepguide/index.html#closer  
Yes, I know that I.E.P. are generally used for children with learning disabilities. In a way, my social development is a disability, or at least a difficult part of my life, that I need to work on. So it shall be an I.S.D.P. (Individual Social Development Plan)

That will most likely make its debut this weekend. Yes, I know it will take a lot of work to make my very own I.S.D.P. but I work in a daycare and have to work around goals for the children and I have had hands-on experience with I.E.P.s for various reasons. I'm looking forward to planning my own.

Anyways, here's just a few goals for this week. This is specifically for what will happen on Thursday when I go to Institute, seeing as that is the main place that my social development will be implemented.
  1. Talk to 2 new people: Preferably I will initiate the conversation in both conversations.
  2. Dress confidently: I need to work on dressing to impress or at least look like I didn't just throw on the first clothes I saw that didn't clash. (This also includes a mini shopping spree sometime in the next 2 weeks.)
  3. Give compliments: I need to compliment people I see. Gender doesn't matter. If I see something appealing or something fun I should compliment. (Plus it gets me to open my mouth!)
  4. Let one of my best chica friends know that I'd be a-okay with here arranging or suggesting double or group dates.
Those are just for this week. There is one goal that I have for this month. To have gone on at least ONE date by the end of this month.
That may seem like a simple goal to most. It's huge for me. I can count the number of dates I've had on one hand. And I've initiated them all.

My biggest goal of all: Even when guys are lame and don't ask me out, I will stay strong and still keep asking them out or at least paying attention to them.

  1. I love that you're going to give compliments, what a great quality to develop! When I was reading your goals it reminded me of a talk by Sister Beck, my bestie, that really changed my life. I don't know if you've heard it, but I SO love this talk. You should check it out. LOVE IT! Helps me put my life/goals into perspective. http://lds.org/library/display/0,4945,538-1-4430-1,00.html
