Goals for German Nats!

2x2: sub5 (make second round?), get WR single on lolscramble (4.88 official pb average, second round, but no WR single, actually I checked and I can't even do a U move subWRsingle)
3x3: sub15 or at least sub16 (two 19 averages wtf)
4x4: sub1:20 (nope)
5x5: sub3:00 single (nope but 3:01.25 single, close enough)
6x6: sub8:00 single (nope)
OH: sub25, second round (31 average wtf, no second round, but at least official pb single of 22.38)
BLD: sub2:30 single (nope, 2:47.15 success though, beating my official pb by almost 6 minutes)
Feet: get cutoff of 2:00 (nope)
Pyra: sub8 (nope)
Mega: official pb single (yes)
MBLD: 6/6 or 7/7, podium (hope some people fail) (couldn't participate because my train is more than one hour late, considering the 3rd best cuber got 6 points and I would have tried 7 cubes.. >.<)
FMC: sub33 mean, sub30 single (DNF mean, 30 single, still pb by far)

Conclusion: Probably the comp where I failed the most. 2x2 and Megaminx are not exactly the events I care about and the only ones where I reached my goal. Also I seem to have a kind of curse to never be able to attend to MBLD at comps, always for a different reason..
Furthermore on 5x5, BLD and FMC it was really close to reach my goal, what makes it even more unsatisfying. IF told me my 30 in FMC could have been a 26 with the right insertion, and I had my skeleton after 20 minutes.. >.<

Goals for Lawrence Fall 2k to the 16 (tomorrow!)

Pyra: Pb single and average? Lol. I haven't practiced pyra in over a year. I littlerally don't care how I do in pyra. Well, unless I mess up bad. Even then I don't really care.
Megaminx: I'd have to PB by 50 seconds to make the soft cutoff so... I may just scratch. I care about mega the slightest bit more than pyra. That's to say not much at all.
2x2: Sub 5 average, comp PB single. Finals would be cool. I don't really care about 2x2.
OH: sub 30 average, sub 25 single? Top ten would be great. I sorta care about OH. It's one of my better rankings so there's that. I've been stagnant for quite a while though.
3bld: Success please! I care about 3bld a good deal
Skewb: Sub 10 average, sub 7 single. Top ten would be nice. I care about skewb.
5x5: be such an amazing staff member that we hold 5x5. sub 2:30 average (sub 2:20?) sub 2:15 single (at least). Top ten. I really care about 5x5.
3x3: GIVE ME A SUB 15 AVERAGE PLEASE! I better. PB single what ever that is. Make finals. I kinda really, really care about 3x3. Well, getting a sub 15 average at least.

Clock: get one. Maybe solve it a couple times. Uh. I want one? So I guess I care a little.
