A personal question -- what do you look forward to?

I'm a little curious to know what drives other people through the doldrums of daily life... So, what do you look forward to in life -- both short term and long term? Are they moments, things, or places? What do you all dream about?

For me, in the short term, it's finishing up writing papers so I can graduate, and working on small hobbies like my computer, building a coffee table. Once in a while, it's desiring some cool electronic item, but not too often, and the desire fades after a while. Long term, I would have to say it's being able to bring about change in this world, and to be of service to greater humanity.

What about you all?
 
Short term = Seeing people that i like to see and talk to. 🙂

Long term = Saving for my new computer so i can sell my current one and in turn hopefully make a nice bit of moolah. 😀
 
Well, for the really short term -- spending time with my girlfriend tonight! 🙂

In a month or so -- Seeing LOTR on the big screen and getting my first year-end-evaluation at my job so that I can finally get a raise!

Long term -- Having a family, having my own house, being able to have some time to compose the music I've always wanted to.

Long term, and more of a wish. Change career and get into industrial design. Bit utopic, but perhaps I can pull that off.

Real long term: learning Italian and retiring somewhere in northern Italy, or perhaps southern France or Portugal (in which case the Italian won't be too helpfull 😉 ).

I've been thinking about this a lot recently.

All my short term goals are focused around my own physical appearance. I'm basically changing how I look and feel.
- Lose weight [DONE - lost 60lbs]
- Ability to do 50+ pushups or so / leglifts / crunches (On my 2nd week so far, did 2 reps of 15 pushups last night.... weak still!)
- Looking to buy a treadmill / stationary cycle / free weight system (This goal will only go into affect after I can do 50 pushups)
- Get a tan 🙂cool😉

Once all these goals are done I'm going to do quite a bit of traveling because I realized I don't want to live in this craphole all my life. So my long term goals look something like this.
- Travel the world (or at least Canada, Hawaii, California, Etc)
- Increase my cash flow (I'm already working fulltime but I would like a bigger job)
- Buy a house in the area I like the most

Somewhere within all my longterm and shortterm goals, I'd like to find the perfect woman too 🙂 Hopefully before I get too old!
 
short term - 2:55 (when I get out of school)

long term - one day to have a great wife and kids along with money and hopefully my own company.
 
short term -- finish degree (soon, very soon)
long-term -- avoid bureaucratic settings and involve myself in research/work that I actually feel is going somewhere 🙂 learning new things constantly, travelling, meeting interesting people
