Alright, let's break this down.

As I said last night, I made week one kind of pathetic because I started half way through the week.  Also, saturday is my birthday, so I am taking it easy.  

Week:
Work out two times this week - I want to start working out, and I think short term goals will help me reach that.  Work out has a very broad definition, basically if I'm active, I consider it working out.  I plan to go kayaking on saturday, that will count for one.  If I go to the gym in my apartment, go for a bike ride, rock climb, mountain bike, water ski, wake board, run, or anything where I'm not sitting on my ass, I will count it as a work out.  I will probably have some form of workout goal each week.

Drink a beer I've never tried before - I wanted another goal for this week and since saturday is my birthday this seemed like a good goal.

Month:
Read "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People." - I decided a couple weeks ago that I wanted to start reading books that would change my outlook on life.  This is a very well known book, so I figured I would start there.  I have already started it and I'm really enjoying it.  I highly recommend it.  I want to finish it by the end of the month.  I intend to toss a book on each month's goals.  After I start back to school that may slow down.

File my Dissolution - I am in the process of getting divorced.  I have been procrastinating this step and I want to stop.  So I'm going to try to have it drawn up and filed by the end of the month.

Pick a School - I just graduated with my Associates in Electronics Engineering Technologies.  I want to continue for a bachelors. I need to decide if I'm going to go for an EET degree or an EE degree.  That decision will decide which school I attend.

Year:
Graduate - I put this on there because I already accomplished it and I wanted to put it on there.

Pay off my credit cards - I think this is obvious.  I've got a decent amount of credit card debt and the interest rates are high, so I want to get rid of those first before my other debt from my marriage.

First week. Here we go. I am sending this from my phone. So there won't be much detail. I will post tomorrow explaining my goals a bit. I started this half way through the week, so the goals are pretty pathetic for the first week. It will get more challenging next week.
