Goals

In a few days I am starting my first activity in the real world: moving to the Cape (Wellfleet) to work at a restaurant. I have high hopes for this summer, and I want to make sure I do all the things I say I'm going to do:

I. Take care of my body
1. Get lots of exercise. Bike everywhere and a lot. I am going to be in good shape for
the first time.
2. Eat well. Since it's summer, I want to fill my awesome new bike basket with fresh
fruits and veggies every day and eat predominantly them. I am going to follow the
"breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper" rule.
3. Sleep. I'll be working at 7:00 AM and I need to leave time to eat breakfast like a
king in the mornings, so I need to be asleep by 9:30 every night.

II. Be a musician
1. Busk with my accordion. I'm going to do it, and I'm going to do it well. I'm
going to build a good repertoire of favorites, play them perfectly, and become a
staple of the Summer 2010 Provincetown scene.
2. Jam. I am going to make sure to have Irish Sessions (and others) with my cousin
Luke and other Wellfleet musicians.
3. Practice and improve. I am going to master the penny whistle, and get my fiddle
skills back. I am also going to study key points of music theory to be able to
improvise better on the accordion.

III. Appreciate where I am
I will be living in an absolutely incredible place. I want to make sure I take
advantage of this, through:
1. Daily twilight walks by the bay,
2. Regular beach visits and swims,
3. Long bike rides on the Cape Cod bike trails

IV. Cut off technology.
I want to spend very little time on the computer this summer. I will go on the
computer only to:
1. Check email, but only once a day,
2. Upload pictures,
4. Very occasionally watch an episode of How I Met Your Mother before bed,
5. Arrange music, for no one in particular,
6. Record and post new youtube videos (http://youtube.com/sophiecrafts)
7. Update my new blog. It's mostly for myself, since I really want to keep a better
account of my adventures, but I do love sharing my stories:

V. Other
1. Read. I'm going to read for pleasure every day, and finish many books.
2. Keep in touch with my friends. I'm not going to automatically see them again in
the fall, so I am really going to make an effort to keep in touch.
3. Find Wellfleet kids to babysit.
4. Spend time with my Grandma. She lives on the Cape, so I want to make sure I go
down to her house for meals and movies and laundry and dogwalks.
5. Grow my hair?
6. Finally get my wrist 100% (restaurant will help with this).
7. Memorize the list of acceptable two-letter Scrabble words.
8. Make friends of all ages who can join me on my twilight beach walks and numerous
Scrabble games.
9. And if there's time, learn French.
