- Bust procrastination by following their calendar and to-do list technique, taking every available opportunity to finish work
- Attend every damn class once I'm in school again, and take very complete notes using the Question, Evidence, Conclusion format, or the technical format for whatever applies.
- Do the appropriate readings and homework using the time-management techniques
- Follow their techniques for preparing for tests by creating practice tests from the notes and using them to simply review what I've already spent a long time learning throughout the rest of the semester
- Follow their techniques for writing research papers
I'm also going to read more about writing up good answers for essay questions.
My aspirations tend to be pretty damn grand, and most people tell me I can't do this or that, and that may be so, but I'm still going to harbor them.
For now, as I've said, my goal is to become a biology teacher. This involves applying to cheap CSU East Bay and getting accepted and getting through the curriculum, while working part-time at Safeway in Moraga. I will get straight A's in the courses using the techniques aforementioned. And while being a Bio teacher is a pretty good career in and of itself and one of the main reasons I'm doing it is because I absolutely love teaching and inspiring others, my real goal is to obtain a method of sustainment while having an occupation that allows me a lot of free time for independent research and further schooling and innovation.
Once I have ample credentials, or courses, or I've done impressive enough research, or whatever, I will apply to a prestigious engineering school and get either a bachelor's or a master's in engineering. These institutions can include CalTech, Harvey Mudd, or MIT. I really want to do MIT.
During my time at MIT and perhaps a few years before and after, I will work on making my random inventions a reality. I want to contribute to the technology of humanity to make it a better place, and my inspiration will be the betterment of the human condition over profitability, but if a few of my innovations happen to be profitable without it being immoral to keep it from those without money, then so be it, and I can create my own funding. I believe innovation never runs out, and just because you make one amazing invention doesn't mean you can't make others that are equally as amazing.
I like branching into as many disciplines as I can, and mixing and mashing them. My goals probably aren't very coherent but whatever, I'm just putting down a stream of thought at the moment.
