I’ve done these blogs a few times at the end of the year. You know, reflect on the year, put forth some goals for next year. They’ve had varying results; some years, it’s been a total clusterfuck and some years, I’ve actually been able to accomplish something.
I’m not even looking at my 2019 going into 2020 list. It’s terrible. Among things, I wanted to be done with retail. I’ve had this resolution every year since 2016, and honestly, it’s killed me every year it’s come up. The only reason I’m remotely thinking it’s possible this year is that I’m heading back to school in August. Between school, and probable single-parenting again (Mr. Starbuck heads to D.C sometime in 2021), I wouldn’t be able to handle working at Best Buy.
(I can barely handle it now.)
So, fuck reflecting. This year was dumb, and that’s all the reflecting I’m doing.
Goals
- Make sure Will’s happy. This. This x1000.
- Kick ass at school. It’s really important to me that I nail this one. I feel – I know – that I have something to prove here. I’m 34, and the kids I’ll be in class with will be just getting to the legal drinking age.
- GET ON A STREAM SCHEDULE. It’s the first piece of advice from every Twitch Partner. Get on a consistent schedule so everybody knows when you’re live. Also, pay more attention to my YouTube channel utilizing the skills I’ll learn at school.
- Finally leave retail. I’m going to do this one, even if it kills me. Going back to school will help with this. There’s not a big market (read: non-existent) for (liberal) Political Science majors in North Dakota.
- Podcast. I’ve been loving working for Gaming Access Weekly. It would be really cool to relaunch the podcast, even if it’s only a couple of times a month.
So, think it’ll happen? I guess we’ll have to see.
