3x3: First sub-15, then sub-10, become color neutral
2x2: Learn EG-1, roughly 3 second averages
4x4: Sub-1:20m
5x5: Buy one and learn it
Skewb: Buy one and learn it
Pyraminx: Sub-8s (Getting one soon)
Megaminx: Sub-2:00
3x3 BLD: Get a success, Learn R2/M2, get sub-3m

PBs: 1/3/5/12/100
2x2: 0.25/2.26/2.86/3.70/4.97
3x3: 7.33/9.95/11.02/11.84/12.94 (12.41 AO25)
4x4: 36.88/43.41/44.05/46.07/47.97 (incomplete)
5x5: 1:08.41/1:17.50/1:17.77/1:23.15/1:27.30
6x6: 2:09.56/2:19.75/2:23.84/2:29.84/2:35.60
7x7: 3:08.86/3:14.60/3:20.41/3:28.00/3:35.25
8x8: 7:53.87/7:58.98/8:23.31/9:33.31
FMC: 32 STM/35 HTM

ALL 3x3, 5x5 AO100, potentially 4x4, others are out of date. Check desktop.


2x2: 4.xx global average... better if I decide I care about it.
3x3: 12.xx average of 100.
4x4: sub 50 average of 100.
5x5: sub 1:25 average of 100.
6x6: sub 2:30 average of 100.
7x7: sub 3:30 average of 100.
FMC: sub 40 global average
BLD: Learn 3BLD. Decide if I like it enough to practice it seriously.
Comps: Go to at least 2 competitions this year.

Most of those goals are pretty conservative, so I'll make them harder if I'm destroying them. Big cube goals are going to be tough, but the rest are pretty easy.

IRL:
Get grades up to a B average.
Go to school regularly. (my attendance is pathetic)
Wake up in the morning at a somewhat consistent time.
Run a lot. Do other exercise stuff.
Write poetry I'm happy with.
Write philosophy stuff.
Practice mindfulness meditation or another emotional control/awareness exercise.
Learn more mental calculation stuff, if I feel like it.
Volunteer at Teen Link or Aspiring Youth, or both. (the first is a teen mental health organization, the second is an organization for people with autism spectrum disorders)
Follow gut feelings and impulses more.
Deal with social anxiety better.
Spend time with my family. Particularly my grandmother.
Do something wonderful that's not on this list. Details TBD.

Goals from this year:
Goals for this summer:
Learn the easy OLLs. (yes)
Get a successful BLD solve. (no)

Conservative goals for the end of 2014:
6 second global 2x2...Yes. 5.02 AO100
16.xx global 3x3 average EDIT: 16 global, and 15.xx AO100. Edit: 15 global...Yes, 14.31 AO100
Sub 1 global 4x4 average...Yes, 56.00 AO100
sub 1:50 global 5x5 average...Yes, 1:38.37 AO100
3:40 global 6x6 average EDIT: 3:30 global...Yes, 3:01.xx AO100. Will be sub 3:00 before the year is over.
5:00 global 7x7 average...Yes, 4:12.xx AO100
Learn full OLL except maybe the dot cases (34/57 so far, so no), better PLLs when needed (sort of), full 5x5 L2E (learned most of them, so sort of), and 7x7 L2E algorithms when possible. (sort of, mostly just adaptations of 5x5 algs)
Well, it was a good year for cubing. Destroyed all of my goals except learning algs.
