Goals:
First and foremost, I'd like to get to the bottom of my fluctuation problem. I do really well for about 12 solves, then become practically retarded for 12 solves, then cube like a champ again for another 12 solves, and then I'm retarded again for another 12 solves, and it sorta fluctuates like this all the time. I'll be getting a sub-13 avg, then I'll struggle to do a sub-15 avg. If I can get a sub-13 RA of 100 with a very low standard deviation, I'll be very happy.
But anyway, my other goals include:
- Learn CMLL for Roux.
- Learn more about commutators on corners and incorporate them into my BLD cubing at some point, since I'm HORRIBLE at commutators.
- Work on my memorization skills for BLD. Will probably learn to use Roman Rooms.
- Work on recognition skills for BLD. I'm kind of slow at finding the journey I need to follow.
- Get a strict practice regiment started for BLD.
- Get a sub-18 RA of 12 one-handed using my left hand. (Current PB is 19.19.)
- Get a sub-20 RA of 12 one-handed using my right hand. (Current PB is 27.xx. I set the goal so low because I know I'll probably be working on it more than LH OH.)
- Learn to do 4x4 better... and I should probably get a better 4x4 while I'm at it. QJs suck.
- Learn to do 5x5 better. I don't need a better cube for that one. I naturally suck at 5x5.
- Get at least one of my Rubik's Cube students down to about 40 seconds (preferrably less) by Christmas time. (They just learned how to do it. I just have to keep them interested...)
EDIT: Oh, and one more goal I have -- I need to successfully housebreak my new Rottweiler puppy. He's about 5 months old, and he's SO ADORABLE!! I could probably get pictures, if anyone requests them.
