2013 New Year's Resolutions

[A Leman]

My goals are going to be practice related so I don't reach a goal and then promptly quit cubing for months at a time this year.

I will at least:
6x timed Avg12 3x3 per week
Timed Avg5 4x4 and 5x5 per week
3x timed Avg12 3bld per week
2x timed 4bld successes per week
2x timed 5bld successes per month
Try Mbld, I can’t really gauge when or how often I could practice this since I would need to get more cubes and find an hour of free time.

This is not too much for a minimum which means I can stick to it. I normally do a ton of un-timed solves, but I feel that I need to start timing myself more often and stop wasting my time.

Non-cubing:
Straight A’s next semester in college (I am very serious about this one and I intend to make it happen)
Get back into running because I keep getting talked into racing, and races are much less fun when I am not in competitive shape.
Try out the mental athlete stuff like memorizing #’s and decks of cards

Yeah, it's kinda casual, not planning on being a programmer as a future career, but it could be useful.

Hmm. I'm considering learning Java or Haskell because I need to broaden my knowledge on programming and learn certain syntax(Java is related to C) and integration(Haskell can be integrated into other languages.

Mike generally tries to hold all of the WCA events within two years at the Indiana competition. I would predict Indiana 2013 won't have feet since it was held in 2012 but you never know.

That is a scary thought. I hope he has it!

Cubing Goals for 2013:

2x2: lol
3x3: sub-10 avg in comp (I could do that on Saturday)
sub-8 single in comp

Organize three official competitions. First one in on Saturday, Jan. 5th, I'm looking at April for the next one.

As you might tell I really don't have many long term goals for 2013. Last year I went from averaging 12s to 10.5. As of January 1st, 2013, I'm averaging ~10.3 and we'll see how much I improve this year. Today I got my first sub-9 av5, and brought down my av12 and av100 PBs.
