[uniacto]

sub 12 at 3x3 at the end of 2013

Learn all PLL's and some more OLL's.

Dabble in Roux and/or ZZ

mod a cube successfully (my shengshou 4x4 pretty much sucks after my failed attempt at modding)

edit: I suppose I should include some real life stuff as well...

get taller
get higher than a 2000 on SAT's
be more social and outgoing, meet more people

sub 12 at 3x3 at the end of 2013 - Nope

Learn all PLL's and some more OLL's. - Nope

Dabble in Roux and/or ZZ - Nope

mod a cube successfully (my shengshou 4x4 pretty much sucks after my failed attempt at modding) - nope

edit: I suppose I should include some real life stuff as well...

get taller - a couple inches?
get higher than a 2000 on SAT's - nope, but I got a 34 on the ACT, so that works for me
be more social and outgoing, meet more people - definitely. Which makes up for all the other stuff I've failed in. I'm the most social and I'm enjoying life so much more now that I have people I can talk to and know they care.

This is gonna take a lonnnggg time to respond too, but reflections are always worth the time!

Cubing:
2x2 - Sub 2.12 Average of 12, Sub 1.75 Average of 5; Official Sub 2.75 Average of 5, Official Sub 1.75 Single loluseless, Learn EG-1 (I've already done 16 so far) and EG-2

Average of 12 - Yes! 1.775 kills that! xD

Average of 5 - Um, yes! 1.600 is also a killer

Official Average - Yes! 2.40 dominates, but still really sucks.

Official Single - Yes! 1.69

EG-1 - Yes! Was worth it for sure

Eg-2 - No, I decided to perfect my CLLs first, then I could get to that in 2014.

Definitely got into 2x2 much more than expected!

3x3 - Sub 10 Average of 12, Sub 9 Average of 5, Sub 6.5 Single, Official Sub 10 Average of 5, Official Sub 8 Single [EXTREMELY HARD GOALS], Learn COLL (except for sunes)

Average of 12 - No.

Average of 5 - No.

Single - No.

Official Average - No, 10.04 is so annoying! x(

Official Single - No, 8.99 was at 6.2ish when I got to PLL, though. xD

COLL without sunes - No, did I seriously think I was going to like 3x3 that much?

4x4 - Sub 50 Average of 5, Sub 37.5 Single, Official Sub 53 Average of 5, Official Sub 40 Single

Average of 5 - Yes! 46.xx does the job.

Single - Nope, 38.25 is pretty close, though!

Official Average - Yes! Smashed it with a 48.57!

Official Single - Yes! This was probably one of my harder goals, but I got freakishly lucky, pulled off an overall PB of 38.25!

5x5 - Sub 1:45 Average of 5, Sub 1:20 Single, Official Sub 1:55 Average of 5, Official Sub 1:45 Single

Average - No. Pretty easy, should've done it. xD

Single - No, did I seriously expect a single 25 seconds better than my average? xDDDDDD

Official Average - Yes, 1:53.86 wasn't all that hard to get at all… Overall PB, too, I think.

Official Single - No, 1:48.88.

6x6 - Sub 3:45 Mean of 3, Sub 3:15 Single, Official Sub 4:15 Mean of 3, Official Sub 3:50 Single (I hate 6x6)

All NOOOOOOOOOOOO. I seriously had an explosion that I never fixed because I had problems after replacing springs, and I've lost a gazillion pieces by now probably. lololol.

7x7 - Sub 6:30 Mean of 3, Sub 5:45 Single, Official Sub 7:30 Mean of 3, Official Sub 6:45 Single (Meh, I don't really care. I am making these quite hard because a Shengshou will help. These may be extremely easy though when I do get a SS.)

All NOOOOOOOOOOOO again! Super easy, but I just never really practiced, and officially I didn't feel like going fast at Indiana for some odd reason. :/

OH - Sub 19 Average of 5, Sub 15 Single, Official Sub 22.5 Average of 5, Official Sub 20 Single

Average of 5 - No, not quite! I think I had high 19 or low 20…

Single - No, I think. I know I have a 15 or two, but I don't think I have a sub 15.

Official Average - Yes, 20.78 babbyyyy!

Official Single - Oh YES! OLL skip T-perm, pretty much the only solve of Hillsdale Fall 2013 that was unrecorded, and I locked up on the T-perm, too.

Should've done more at-home practice.

BLD - Sub 1 Single, Official Sub 2 Single (Also pretty hard. I plan on practicing BLD a lot more this year, and already have started to.)

Single - Noooo, 1:2x.xx.

Official - No, 2 1:3x.xx DNF's, one was because one target was off, one was nerves at worlds = fail. Why is there a 1 minute difference? lolol.

4BLD - Sub 13:00 Single, Official Success (A little hard)

Single - Nooooo. Boring event in my eyes.

Official - Yes, so slow, though.

5BLD - Sub 45:00 Single, Official Success

No and no. Only did one attempt after my success, I think, which was an official fail at Worlds. It was quite a mess tbh.

3x3 Multi BLD - At least 11 WCA points, Officially at least 6 WCA points (I can't estimate my limits; I've never really gotten near them [Most was 5])

Home - No, didn't really do any after 8/8 official even though I got more cubes just for MBLD! xD

Official - Oh, YES! 8/8 59:46 = happy.

Pyraminx - Sub 4.5 Average of 5, Official Sub 6 Average of 5, Official Sub 4 Single (Officials are hard, but almost every comp has Pyraminx anyway, so I'm good.)

YES, YES, YES! All pretty easy, got into the event a little bit.

Megaminx - Sub 1:20 Average of 5, Sub 1 Single, Official Sub 1:45 average of 5, Official Sub 1:30 Single

YES, YES, YES, YES! I seriously got serious about this event! Home single was messed up, considering the average. Despite making no sense, I managed a few times! I did really well at Indiana 2013! :O

Square-1 - Sub 35 Average of 5, Sub 25 Single, Official Sub 48 Average of 5, Official Sub 35 Single (easyish, but I might not get one [missing corner cap and won't use it] for a few months.)

YES, YES, YES, YES! Very easy goals, didn't fully get into the event, but did a decent amount at some points in the year.

Clock - Sub 15 Average of 5, Sub 10 Single, Official Sub 19 Average of 5, Official Sub 15 Single (I may or may not get into clock. These are assuming I practice a small amount, like I do now.)

NO, NO, NO, NO! Lost mine in February, gonna order one today or tomorrow possibly, finally!

3x3 With FEET!! - Sub 30 Single, Sub 40 Mean of 3, Official NR Single, Official NR Average (EXTREMELY CRAZY HARD! I am probably only gonna have 2 chances: Worlds and Indiana 2013)

Single - Yes, 28.23!

Average - Yesssssss! 35.85 is amazing!

Official Single - YES, 36.97 Former NAR current NR!!!! I can't believe I did it!

Official Average - YESSSSS!!!!!! 39.10 NAR!

Geez, I cared a lot about feet. Now that that's over, I guess I won't be making my goals too hard this year for feet, if any.

FMC - Sub 35 Moves, Official Sub 45 Moves (I don't care AT ALL)

NO and NO. Both were easy, especially official, but I only had 10 minutes because we had to go.

In real life:

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)

Yes, although I might get an A- in band this quarter, who cares anyway?

Stay fit (Not just cubing)

I'd say yes, I guess, definitely didn't get any worse as far as fitness goes.

Maybe speedstack a bit again and get a cycle sub 7 3-6-3 sub 2.6 3-3-3 sub 2

NO, NO, NO. It takes MUCH more than a bit to do that…

Learn javascript programming + program websites

Learned a little, but I guess no. Feel so dumb for halfway learning HTML and then just "wimping out".

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.

Actually, I already was a year ahead, and even if I wasn't, I could have skipped 2. Doing Algebra I, which is 9th grade in my school district (odd, yes).

Feel pretty good about myself! I'll be making my 2014 one tomorrow, most likely. These goals were perfect, where it was hard enough where beating goals felt amazing, and easy enough where I wouldn't disappoint myself. I'll keep it around this level, although I don't have too much more potential in some events this year, so my next ones may vary in skill level.

EDIT: Woah, huge post. Took ~1 hour to do, but it's only once a year, so yay!

EDIT2: 26 yes, 31 no I believe. Maybe I'll decrease difficulty a teeny bit this year!
