My short-term goal is just to get around to hanging all the old paintings I inherited a few months back.

Also, to finish painting this damn 160-yard fence outside my house. Almost completed one side...

move into new place only to have to see about renewing or finding another new place 5 months later, all while catching up on loans and not going broke.

Learn to cook a bit better, and to keep my apartment clean.  IT IS SO CLEAN RIGHT NOW.  It hasn't been this nice since I moved in.  I feel like an adult! 

Start drawing again.  I used to be pretty good at it, but haven't really practiced since high school.

Start my tattoo-getting process.  I'm still not really sure what I want, but an artist friend has agreed to work on it with me.

Wait, failing a test gives you more time in the army? Wouldn't they prefer people who can pass the test to make up their armed forces? :psyduck:

Fail test - obviously useless for real world that test relates to - place in military instead.

I suppose "obviously useless for real world" translates as "we cannot milk him for taxes" in this case  :roll:
