Summer Goals and Plans

Well, I'm trying to figure out my goals for summer, and I need some input and help on sticking to my limits and so forth. I'll be getting home back to Cali probably in the 2nd or 3rd week of May, depending on how long my mom and I take driving cross-country.

1) I plan on doing a complete overhaul cleaning/purging of my room by mid-July.

2) I'm going to limit my internet time in some fashion. Here's one point I need input on: would it be better to limit myself to a certain amount of time per day (i.e. 2 hours per day), or better to limit my online time only to certain days (i.e. Fri-Sun)?

3) Except for when I'm recovering for my surgery, I plan to take the puppies for a walk both morning and evening. Would love it if family or friends would join me on a regular basis!

4) I'm going to aim at getting up no later than 9am every day, gradually working my way to getting up at 7:30am at least on Monday/Wednesday/Fridays by the time I head back to school so that I won't completely die with my 8am class in the Fall.

5) I plan to do my quad/inner thigh PT exercises every day, building up to at least 100 reps per day. I also plan to stretch, especially my quads and psoas. All of this is to hopefully heal my chronic patellar tendinitis.

6) First thing in the morning, before breakfast or a walk, I will do at least 10 mins of yoga. I also plan to do at least 10 mins of yoga every evening before bed.

7) I ///WILL/// take a multivitamin every day, without fail.

8) I will practice my cello so that by fall I'll be in shape to teach lessons.

9) Other than when I am recovering from surgery, I will take at least one ballet technique class a week, preferably two or more.

Any input, tips, or other comments on all this would be greatly appreciated. I'll probably add to the list as I come up with more things I need to work on this summer.
