End Of The Semester, Start Of The New Year

My first semester of school is just about up, and wow am I glad I finally get a break. I've been working overtime to get my marks as high as possible. At the moment, my training has been put on the backburner until my school workload diminishes. Haven't been to the gym or to fencing in the past two weeks because of exams and final projects.... I think I can feel my strength decreasing. However, I am very pleased with how I am doing academically. I will hopefully be able to balance them more next semester to give more time for training.

On a side note: I have switched from fencing right handed to fencing left handed. This is because I have more precision with my left hand. However, the downside is that my strength is lacking in my left hand compared to my right.

I've made some new goals:
School Related:
1. To make it onto the Dean's List at my school (80%+ overall average) by graduation of my undergraduate studies.
2. To make it onto the school's ICBC business competition marketing or business policies team.

Physical:
1. 10 one-legged squats on non-dominant side
2. Fencing: Same level of footwork control when fencing lefty as I currently have, fencing righty.
3. 1000+ on powerball with left hand by January 31st, 2008 (I have not been able to achieve it for January 1st.)

That's it for now. I will be thinking up a New Year's Resolution and posting it when I figure it/them out.
