The Bloggers With The Most To Say
My Name is Bannon
Well, it's that time of year again. Heading back down tomorrow. It's gonna be an important and busy year for me, so I thought I'd outline my goals for the quarter ahead. It's more for me, but you can read this too.
The title of the blog is a reference to a character in World in Conflict. You should get that game. Anyway, Bannon.. well I don't want to give away the surprisingly good story, but he's a screwup with a moustache that eventually redeems himself. He calls his mother before his redemption and tells her that he's "gonna do good." This is my phone call. I am Bannon. You are my (bald) mother. I'm going to do good. And I'm going to earn that Wonderful Winter Break (TM) and my 21st birthday.
GRADES - I'm going to keep them up, and try to push them higher. This really isn't so much a goal as a mission requirement.
AED - Is the name of my club, of which I've been elected Social Chair. I'm going to connect with these folks. I'm going to expand membership. I'm going to make good on my campaign promises of more closely knitting this community.
VOLUNTEERING - This is kind of a branch of AED. But I'm going to volunteer more. For the club, for the camaraderie, for the good. I'm going to do it, even if it's at 8 AM on a Saturday.
MCATs - I'm going to.. do them.
RESEARCH - I'm going to get into this, and see what it has to offer. Regardless of whether I end up enjoying it or not, I'm going to let it see what I have to offer.
AND OF COURSE:
TAing - Not so much a job as a lifestyle. I'm going to be more vigilant, more accessible, a clearer public speaker, a cleaner blackboard chalker, a more consistent grader, a more forceful student advocate; I'm going to be better. I'm going to continue to earn my recent commendation, and I'm going to do my best to not let it breed a sense of arrogance or complacency.
Those are the big ticket items ahead. Thank you to everyone for making these past few months worth missing. I'm going to do good.
I'll see you all soon again! And I'll get working on those drawings.
