No goals for 2x2 and Pyra as I don't really care about those. Furthermore I drop my idea of learning OH ZBLL. In general for 2018 I decided to not make ultra hard goals and just hope to accomplish all of them.

Cubing in general:

Attend almost all comps in my country (10/12 + 3 French comps), go to Euro 2018, win one event at one comp.
Organize another comp. (no, but in January)
Regularly do the Weekly Forum Comp here.
Improve my German SOR to top50. (38 single, 47 average)
Reach the Silver Club.
Get rid of at least 3 nemeses (I currently have 7). (lost one, but gained another)

General:

Stay motivated for Computer Science and study.
Finally get my maths degree.
Keep doing Martial Arts.
Improve my French.
Reach plat league in League of Legends soloQ (improved from Gold V to Gold II), keep playing with my team.
Attend national Wizard and/or Carcassonne tournaments.
Get back to playing the piano.

Lol, most of my goals are just ones from last year that I failed to accomplish. xD

Get motivated to cube again.
2x2: Learn one-look and EG-2 and head for a sub 2.5 AVG
3x3: Learn PLL and polish F2L and look ahead, go for a sub 20 AVG.
Don’t really practice many other twisty puzzles, BUT I hope to try to get fast at either pyra or skewb...or both.
