Review of goals 2012


Justine reminded me of my goal to run the Auckland Marathon. I took a quick look at the goals I had set out for myself, and think it is time to update it...
  1. Finish and publish the two papers I have been working on for the past 3 months (ON-GOING) .
  2. Portions of the PhD research to be done : location recce (ACHIEVED), collaborators negotiation (ACHIEVED), literature review  (ACHIEVED) , experimental design  (ACHIEVED) .
  3. Publish at least one paper from my PhD research before end of 2012.
  4. Pass our GUE fundamentals (ACHIEVED)and Rec 3 (Trimix)  (ACHIEVED)  .
  5. Conduct at least one exploration dive on the Blue Creek resurgence with TechDive NZ. (CHANGE OF PLAN - CANCELLED SINCE THE EXPLORATION IS SET IN FEB 2013, WHICH I WOULD BE CONDUCTING MY RESEARCH IN TAIWAN)
  6. Clock a total of at least 40 recreational dives and 10 technical dives  (ON-GOING) . 
  7. Teach 2 labs per week (this will help with the monthly finances as well :) )(ACHIEVED)
  8. Stick to a exercise regime (RESTARTED ... ON-GOING)
  9. Run the Auckland Marathon....
  10. Call home (Singapore) at least once every fortnight  (ON-GOING) .
  11. Go home (Singapore) at least one time in year 2012 (not counting the wedding date!) (ACHIEVED).
  12. Go back to Iron Mountain.  (CHANGE OF PLAN - CANCELLED SINCE GRACE IS COMING END OF YEAR)

I thought I should add a few more goals to this... 

13. Training Jet at least 2 times a week.... so that he is more obedient,and I can keep my sanity. 
14. Runs at least 3 times a week, so I can at least survive the Auckland Marathon.
15. Published my personal/ work website
