Goal Update (4.27)

Well, a lot has been going on lately - many changes

Here are a few updates to my summer goal list:

1. FIND A PLACE TO LIVE IN CHICAGO (Apartment or tiny tiny condo)
Most important of all, I want to live in Chicago by June.  I am putting that out there now!

Finished!  Me and dad found a place the first day we were looking.  I thought it was going to take over 2 months and it took a weekend to find an apartment.  I'm so excited for the area I'll be in as well as living on my own in the city.  SO PUMPED!

2. Attend 4 outdoor concerts
I go to many indoor concerts, but there is nothing like an outdoor spring/summer concerts.

I bought a lollapalooza 3-day pass, expensive but worth it.  There will be a shit ton of amazing bands this year.  Since it was so expensive, I will count it as 3 outdoor concerts.  Also, I bought a ticket for Saturday July 19's Pitchfork music festival in Union Park.  I am also looking at a few other concerts, but you can consider this goal completed!

3. Start listening to 30 new music artists
I have a tendency to listen to what I know.

Honestly, I think I can cross off this goal.  I download at least 5 new bands a week.

4. Meet and become friends (real, not Facebook) with 5 new people
Originally it was going to be 10, but I am realistic.

I have legitimately met and become real friends with about 2 new people at this point.   With moving into the city soon, I am sure I can easily knock this out by July.
 

5. Begin a graphic design gig, create at least 2 pieces of work
It's something I like to do in my free time, so I might as well start doing it for money or experience.

6. Get a front page post for a comedic website
This is super lame, but I KNOW I can write an entry that can get on the front page of site like "college humor".

This is going to be much more difficult than I expected.  You have to have a lot of people notice your article to get any front page recognition.  This may be a wash, but I'll try again soon-I have a few good ideas.

I still have to work on the remaining goals.  I've got all summer to do it, though.
