-Complete the couch to 5k program, and keep running after that (Gave up after a few weeks. It was the middle of winter though. Planning to give it another shot soon)
-Finish master's degree and actually get a real job! (I accepted a great job offer last week!)
-Buy a cheap motorcycle (Not yet. The parking situation at my current apartment would be horrible for a motorcycle. See goal #4)
-Move out of my apt and rent a small house somewhere quiet (Not yet, but when my lease is up at the end of July, I'm out of here)

Here goes...
Build up a contingency fund of $15,000 for emergencies (Currently have no debt aside from mortgage, so hopefully this should be not too bad.) Currently have 14.5K - not bad!
Lose 20 more lbs (Down 30 lbs so far) Yeah, this isn't happening this year...
Earn 40 Continuing Education units for free, or have work pay for them DONE!!
Find a job closer to home by the end of the year (Current commute - 105 miles each way) DONE!!
I think that's it so far. I'd like to put buying an S2k on the list but I think my contingency fund is more important right now
