A hibernating polar bear or a 22-soon-to-be-23 year old me?

Assalamualaikum,

It's the 3rd day of our 10-day winter holidays, and I've outdone the dreamed winter laziness. I've slept like a moth would in a cocoon, eaten like a mammoth would in a buffet, moven around like a sloth would in a three by three meter wide cage. *Serious thinking face* I think I'd make a great hibernating short-sighted polar bear!

Tee-hee~

Aaaahh..yes, yes, of course, I'm exaggerating. But there's another week of 24 hours that I have to go through before second semester starts (boy, am I gonna regret this sentence when it does) and the near future looks like the same ol warm and lazy inside a blanket.

So, I decided to list down a few goals for the next 7 days.
Before anything, tomorrow morning, insyaAllah, I'm heading out to fill my motivation with sushi and a round of shopping. Eheh.
Aaaaafter that, we'll get down to business.

Here it goes. My goals for the next 7 days:

1. Read a tarbiyah book. I've chosen "ANDAI SYURGA & NERAKA TIDAK ADA" by Muhammad hasan Basri.

2. Memorize the 30th juzu' of the Quran. Memorized some. Need to revise another few. The rest, yet to be dissected.

*starting to sweat*

3. Listen to lectures of at least 3 tafseers. Hmmm..I'm really thinking as I go here. IIIIII (sounds "aaaaaaaaai") think I'll go with Ghasiyyah, Muthaffifin, and Bayyinah.

4. Call Mom and Dad! (Funny that it's not the first)

5. Complete "Therapy" lecture notes! (Have notes of all 1st sem lectures, but most of the are incomplete.)

*sweating profusely. need to rehydrate.* a gulp of cold tea*

Okay! So, we got our goals set. Now, 7 sets of 24 hours don't look that long, huh?

Aaaaahh.. us youngsters. What we need are true goals, something to strive for, lest our youth, strength and strong will spirit will be wasted, and we will wander around lost.
