2013 New Year's Resolutions

All are global averages
now ------------------------------------- then
2x2: sub6 lol idc
3x3: sub14 sub10
4x4: sub1:50 sub1
5x5: barely know how to solve sub4
6x6: dk how to solve know how to solve
7x7: " "
Pyra: ~25 sub13, learn good method (use bob burton now)
Mega:~6 mins sub3, learn actual method
BLD: slow, bad success rate sub3, 75% success
OH: ~37 sub20, REALLY WANT THIS
SQ-1: just learned, haven't memorized algs... sub1:30

Yeah, overall, just become more well rounded in cubing events. Right know I'm crappy at everything but 3x3

For pyraminx, Erik Akkersdijk has a good tutorial for keyhole, a method good enough to reach your goal, and better :D
 
Cubing:
Mega: sub-50 avg12, break WR avg and/or single
Pyra: sub-4 avg12, learn WO and maybe Nutella
3x3: sub-10 avg5, sub-13 global avg

Non-cubing:
Get a date to Prom, lol
Work out more
Figure out what I want to do with my life (Career)
 
- Start learning algs again
- Actually practice BLD to some extent
- Improve at various stuffs


Don't feel like acting like I can predict what events I'll be most interested in several months from now, so I'm not going to list specific times I want to achieve.
 
2x2 - learn how to solve, then sub 10avg
3x3 - learn full oll and pll. Get average to sub 18, improve f2l look ahead.
4x4 - learn how to solve, then sub 2 averages
5x5 - same as above except sub 4
6x6 - buy one
7x7 - buy one too
Sq-1 - buy

Someone previously said learn as many algorithms in a class and that's exactly what I'm gonna do haha.
Basically improve cube collection overall. Maybe learn 3bld and get sub 35 OH avg.

Other:
Decide career
Complete GCSE's with point avg of 6.8 (mostly a's)
Get into st doms (one of best colleges in my area)
Buy a midi keyboard for my laptop
Buy a new laptop
Take more baths to keep me relaxed
Stay more relaxed and not hate everyone and everything
 
Might as well do this:

3x3: Sub-11 average/Finish HLPTU COLL subsets/Relearn a lot of ELL/Learn more WV/Learn some RLS
4x4: Get a decent one, and get sub-1:20. Finally branching out =x
OH: Get sub-25 consistently somehow/Finish an average of 50.
BLD: Sub-1:15 consistently.
4BLD: Success.
MultiBLD: 15/15 sub-hour.
FMC: Learn the 10-movers/Get sub-30 official/Tread NISS waters.
Pyra: Learn a half-decent method.
Skoob: Finish website revamp/Sub-6
Finger tricks: Lefty M2' flick/Lefty U2'
Maintenance: Become serious and modern about maintaining my cubes.

NOYB STALKERS!!!
EDIT: After reading some others, it did give me ideas that aren't "personal":
All A's (EZPZ at my school/grade that I'm in)
Stay fit (Not just cubing)
Maybe speedstack a bit again and get a cycle sub 7 3-6-3 sub 2.6 3-3-3 sub 2
Learn javascript programming + program websites
Get on the basketball team (in Novemberish I think will be my chance, as my current grade doesn't do basketball).
Next school year (7th) do 8th grade math EZPZ but I can't skip 2 classes so whatever.
I just realized these are so nerdy. Except for the second one. :P who cares these days.
