Goals

            The first of my goals is the biggest. With the upcoming release of our EP, “Chasing Signals”, I have given myself a very measurable  though unpredictable goal. Once the CD is released, my goal is to have sold at least 400 units within the first six months through heavy advertising both during and in between gigs. As mentioned earlier, the primary complication for this particular goal is the fact that we cannot fully predict how the CD will sell. However, we are doing everything we can to get the message out to the public, fans and strangers alike. Using posters, announcements, social media, radio stations, concerts, giveaways, t-shirts, stickers, and everything in between, we are making sure that people know.

            My second goal, though insignificant, is important to me, personally, because it symbolizes procrastination incarnate. Blaringly obvious and a general nuisance, my car has been unnecessarily dirty for months now. Inside and outside, it has gotten to a point where I am distracted even while driving simply by being inside it. Within the next two weeks, I will take at least an hour of my free time to wash the outside of my car, and clean out the inside thoroughly and in an organized manner. To put in the best terms, I will give it a car wash, followed promptly by a colonoscopy.

            The last goal I will mention is a primary focus for any senior; college applications. Or to phrase it more correctly in terms of goal setting: college acceptance. Although I do not plan on going to college right away, I still plan on applying to college this year. In fact, I will—this month—apply to my top choice school; Berklee School of Music in Boston. My goal is not simply to apply, but to be accepted into the college. This hinges not just on high school classes and transcripts, but on audition and interview, which I will prepare for thoroughly.
