I thought I’d take this opportunity, late at night on the eve before I go back to school to start year 11, to outline a few goals, first for this blog, then for my travel, and then for myself.
Goals For This Blog:
- Officially “launch” this blog by the end of April 2008. I realise the blog is currently online, and public, but so far I have not been actively advertising it or anything.
- Make enough money through advertisements and other avenues on this blog, to pay for the web hosting and domain name by the year’s end.
Goals For Travel:
- Have a 50% rough plan by the year’s end.
- Have saved atleast $5000 by the year’s end.
- Have saved atleast $20,000 by the end of 2009.
- (Maybe) Purchase a HD Video camera by the end of 2009.
- Chronicle my journey in a documentary style film.
More:
- Finish Year 12 (HSC).
- Get accepted to University of my choice (As yet undecided).
- Have fun!
