It's definitely tough. I think your goals are great and clear. I'm trying to come up with a similar list. The key is following through and I'm still figuring that part out! But I think blogging this stuff is a great start because it can make you more accountable... good luck. Look forward to reading about how these things work out.

When I was still in high school, I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to stay in school forever. Now that I've got a college degree, I still learn every day, at home, at work, online.

Does learning have to take place in a room, in a building, that has rows of desks, a whiteboard, and a teacher at the front? Can the world become the classroom? hmmm, your view of the newsroom sort of mimics my view of the classroom.

You seem to be doing well, and I am listing you on my blog roll so I can follow your pursuit of happiness.

Re: #5… have you considered meetup.com as a means for meeting new people? There are some great groups to join on there, and I’m sure there’s plenty located in NYC. Also, volunteerism is always a wonderful way to meet new, awesome people, if you have time of course. Good luck with your goals! Stumbled upon your blog… hi.

I didn't want to publicly set deadlines on learning PHP and Javascript because I have no realistic idea of how long that will take. But making myself write weekly and produce something else monthly will help. Thanks!

But these goals are excellent, specifically that last one. I think the only thing these goals are missing are deadlines and measuring sticks. Since all of these are personal and specific, you are already on the right track. Don't worry, hang in there. You're gonna be fine.
