I Have A Vision!

I have a couple of goals for my future which i plan to accomplish in the next 5-10 years. For starters my first goal is to finish Baruch College with the degree in accountancy with the GPA of 3.5 or higher. Clearly the only way to accomplish that is by studying hard and doing well on the exams. Also, in order to get a good job after I finish college, I have to take some internship and learn how to use my knowledge. Therefore, my plan is to find some internship during the next year or during the Spring of 2012 before I graduate. So for now my 3 primary goals are to finish college in Spring 2012, go to the internship during that time and get a job afterward.
After I get the job my plan is to look for a way to transfer into Europe. In order to do that I either have to look for a company here that needs people in Europe or I have to make enough money so that I can move there by myself and find another job. My ultimate goal is to go back to Serbia and live there. Hopefully I can get a job here that I can also do over there. In case that I don't find such a  job, I will have to stay here for another 7 years in order to make enough money so that I can live comfortably in Serbia and find a job there. Therefore my optimal vision is to leave US during the next 5years, maybe spend a little time somewhere in Europe and go back to Serbia.

Whatever You Decide

When the professor was explaining the behaviors during the decision making conflict, I instanty recognized my reaction from the class activity as accommodation. Since I was satisfied with what I got on the test and I knew that there were a lot of people who were not, I simply did not take a part in the decision making. The way I thought was that people who did worse than I did needed those extra points. Therefore there was no need for me to fight for something because I knew that whatever is decided it will benefit everyone and I will accept the decision. I think there were a couple of more people who were in the same situation as me, but there were also many who choose the avoidance and did not participate because they saw that it's difficult to get to an agreement with everyone. There were a couple of them who were sort of in between the compromise and compete to win behaviors and I really admired them because they showed great effort and were willing to make the decision that would be good for all of us. I am not sure if my personal decision making behavior was right or wrong. Maybe I should have stated my opinion since my grade was at stake as well, but I don't think there was much need.
